+# Deployment Instructions - Dockerfile Build
+
+## ✅ Current Status
+- Latest commit: `32678ee` - PDPA features added
+- Cookie consent: ✅ Added to layout.tsx
+- Cookie policy page: ✅ `/cookie-policy` exists
+- Build status: ✅ 14 pages including cookie-policy
+
+## 🚨 If You Don't See Changes After Docker Build
+
+### Problem: Easypanel/Docker is caching old build
+
+### Solution 1: Force Clean Rebuild
+```bash
+# In Easypanel:
+1. Go to service settings
+2. Click "Redeploy" 
+3. Wait for build to complete (3-5 minutes)
+4. Hard refresh browser: Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows)
+```
+
+### Solution 2: Check Docker Build Logs
+```bash
+# In Easypanel logs, you should see:
+✓ Generating static pages (70/70)
+├ ○ /cookie-policy  143 B
+```
+
+If you DON'T see `/cookie-policy` in build output, Docker is using old code.
+
+### Solution 3: Verify Dockerfile Configuration
+In Easypanel service settings:
+- **Build Type:** Dockerfile
+- **Dockerfile Path:** `./Dockerfile` (NOT auto-detect)
+- **Port:** `3000`
+
+### Solution 4: Clear All Caches
+1. Clear browser cache completely
+2. Try incognito mode
+3. Check different browser
+
+## ✅ What You Should See
+
+After successful rebuild:
+- ✅ Cookie banner at bottom (first visit only)
+- ✅ `/cookie-policy` page accessible
+- ✅ Footer may have links (if added)
+- ✅ All 14 pages built
+
+## 📊 Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check if code exists in repo
+git log --oneline -1
+# Should show: 32678ee ✨ Add PDPA compliance features
+
+# Check if CookieConsent exists
+ls src/components/CookieConsent.tsx
+# Should exist
+
+# Check layout.tsx has CookieConsent
+grep "CookieConsent" src/app/layout.tsx
+# Should show import and render
+```
