Cookies

Introduction

This policy explains how Elliotts Legal uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what those cookies do, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the site is being used. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, perform comparable functions and are covered by this policy.

Cookies set by this website are described as first party cookies. Cookies set by another organisation whose content appears on our pages — for example Google — are described as third party cookies.

Your consent

When you first visit this website you will be shown a cookie notice. Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically, as the site cannot function without them. All other cookies — analytics, advertising and functional — are only set once you have given your consent.

You may accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or choose which categories to allow. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of every page.

The cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate. They enable core functions such as page navigation, security and form submission. The website cannot function properly without them, and they cannot be disabled through our cookie notice.

  • WordPress — session and security cookies used when a member of our team signs in to manage the website. These are not set for ordinary visitors.
  • Cookie consent — records the cookie preferences you have chosen, so that you are not asked again on every page.
  • Caching and performance — our hosting platform sets cookies to serve pages quickly and to distinguish between logged in and logged out visitors.
  • Jotform — our enquiry and contact forms are provided by Jotform, which sets cookies necessary to submit a form securely and to prevent automated abuse. Further information is available in the Jotform privacy policy.

Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived. This information is aggregated and used to improve the site. These cookies are only set with your consent.

Advertising cookies

These cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and, where relevant, to show our advertisements to people who have previously visited this website. They are only set with your consent.

  • Google Ads — set by Google to record whether a visit followed an advertisement, and to support remarketing. You can control how Google personalises advertising to you through Google Ads Settings.

Functional cookies

These cookies support additional features on the website. They are only set with your consent, and declining them means the relevant feature may not display.

  • Google Maps — used to display the map showing our Belfast office. Google sets cookies when the map loads. Further information is available in the Google privacy policy.
  • Mailchimp — where you subscribe to our legal updates, Mailchimp sets cookies to manage your subscription and to measure whether our emails have been opened. Further information is available in the Intuit Mailchimp privacy statement.

Transfers outside the United Kingdom

Google, Jotform and Mailchimp are established outside the United Kingdom, and data collected through their cookies may be transferred to and processed in other countries, including the United States. Each provider operates safeguards intended to protect that data, including the UK extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Further detail is set out in each provider’s own privacy policy, linked above.

How to control cookies

You can change the preferences you gave us at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of this website.

You can also control cookies through your browser, including deleting cookies already stored and preventing new ones from being set. Please note that blocking all cookies is likely to affect how this and other websites function. Guidance for the most common browsers is available here:

Further independent guidance on cookies is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in the applicable law. Any changes will be published on this page.
