Thank you for writing this.
I added some comments with the code
On the page https://wpaccessibility.org/docs/contribute/documentation/ you can read how the code of a page is set up.

@joedolson can you please review the content itself?
As you know better how the Able player is set up.

This needs a few changes so that the topic of the page is about how the website uses cookies. A cookie statement needs to be about how the site uses cookies, and address the specific cookies and types of cookies used.

Hey @kurapativyshnavi - You may want to merge changes from the latest main branch into your branches and see if that can properly trigger the PR Preview workflows, which can build up a preview version of the website.

Also cc @rianrietveld so once confirmed, we can close #100
