I would also recommend adding a Cookie Policy/Consent Banner since you’re using both Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel. A consent banner that blocks non-essential tracking until visitors opt in is considered best practice and is increasingly expected, particularly if you receive visitors from the UK or EU.
