   是 SureCookie，标记是 `.surecookie-*`，颜色来自 :root 上的几个自定义属性。
   改法：在离弹窗更近的祖先上重设这些属性（继承取最近的一层，不用打特异性
   官司），再单独修按钮。插件把 width:650px 写在行内，手机端会横向溢出，
   必须用 !important 顶掉。

   Legal pages — privacy / terms / refunds
   The three pages ran on Astra's default page template, which is a
   1240px column at 16px. Fine for a placeholder, wrong for a document
   people are meant to actually read: line length over 100 characters
   is where eyes start skipping lines. 720px at 16.5px/1.85 is the
   range long-form reading guidance lands on.
   Scoped to .vc-legal so nothing else on the site moves.
