@LaurenFBaily for the copy are we going with what's in here?

[LaurenFBaily]

Yes. It's not a perfect fit until we add the marketing pixels but those are coming and it's the copy that's been agreed. Thanks!

The two checkboxes that are left to do match the ones in #10717 (that includes all cookies), so I'd suggest closing this ticket once changes to the copy are approved and deployed.
