Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies are, how JSM Law uses them on this website, and what options you have to manage them. We keep things plain — no confusing technical language where plain English works just as well.

Last Updated: September 10, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device — computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit. They help the site remember things about your visit, such as whether you've already accepted the cookie notice or what language you prefer.

Cookies do not run programs or carry viruses. They are simply a way for the website to recognise your browser the next time you come back, so your experience can be more consistent.

Some cookies are placed by the website you're visiting (first-party cookies). Others are set by external services that appear on the page (third-party cookies).

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, certain features — such as the cookie consent mechanism or secure form submission — would not work.

Examples: Cookie consent status, basic session security

Always Active

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site — which pages are viewed most, where visitors come from, and how long they spend on the site. This helps us improve the content and structure of our pages.

Examples: Google Analytics (page views, session length, referral source)

Duration: Up to 2 years (persistent)

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver relevant advertising and track the effectiveness of any campaigns we run. They may be set by third-party advertising networks.

Examples: Google Ads conversion tracking, Meta Pixel

Duration: Up to 90 days (persistent)

Preference Cookies

These remember choices you make to personalise your experience, such as your preferred language or region setting, so you don't have to set them again on your next visit.

Examples: Language preference, display settings

Duration: Up to 1 year (persistent)

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some features of our website may involve services provided by third parties who may set their own cookies. These include:

  • Google Analytics — website usage statistics
  • Google Ads — conversion tracking for advertising campaigns
  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel — campaign performance measurement
  • Microsoft Bing — advertising measurement

Each third-party provider has its own privacy and cookie policy. We encourage you to review those policies independently. We have no direct control over third-party cookies.

4. Cookie Duration

These remain on your device for a set period (from a few days to two years) or until you delete them manually. They allow us to recognise you on future visits.
