Cookie Policy

This policy explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It is provided in line with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help a website remember your preferences and activity. Some cookies are essential for a website to work; others are optional and are used only where you have agreed to them.

Types of Cookies We Use

  • Necessary cookies: Essential for the website to function and to keep it secure. These include the cookie that records your privacy choices, and the services that enable our contact forms and CAPTCHA protection to work. These do not require your consent.
  • Optional cookies: Any cookies used for analytics, advertising or embedded third-party content. These are set only where the rules that apply to you allow it, and you can refuse or withdraw your agreement at any time. This website currently has no optional cookies installed.

Managing Cookies and Your Choices

Where the rules that apply to you require it, a cookie banner appears when you first visit and optional services are held until you agree. Where you are in a region whose rules allow optional services to run unless you object, those services may start before you make a choice, and you can object at any time.

You can accept, refuse or change your choices at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings, and we honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where your browser sends one.

Optional Services and Their Providers

Optional services and privacy choices

Whether optional services need permission before they run depends on your location and the settings for this site. Services you previously declined stay off. If we cannot determine which services are allowed, they stay off.

You can decline optional services or withdraw permission at any time in Cookie settings. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, advertising stays off unless you explicitly allow it in Cookie preferences. This signal does not automatically turn off functional services or analytics.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration. These include:

  • Secure servers
  • Access controls
  • Encrypted communications
  • Staff training on confidentiality and data handling

Updates to This Policy

Legalise It Solicitors reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy and Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our services. The latest version will always be available on our website.
