Cookie policy

This page provides details surrounding the cookies we use across Solicitors Journal and what they are used for.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is saved by your browser when you visit a website. It enables certain information about your visit to be stored by the site.

Some of these cookies are essential in order for a website to run as you would expect it to while others allow us to provide you with a better service (for example, understanding what content is most popular, to provide you more of the same).

Our cookie policy

We understand you need to reach the most relevant information quickly and easily. So, our main aim of using cookies is to provide you with the most optimised 'user experience' possible. (For details on what personal information we collect using cookies and how we use it, read our privacy policy.)

We may use cookies to help you navigate the website efficiently and perform certain functions. For example, cookies allow us to remember your log in details to save you from having to type their username and password every time they visit us, or move from page to page.

Our website analytics tool also uses cookies in order to analyze how, when and where visitors use our websites, but this information is not tied to personally identifiable information. We only use this data to improve your experience. For example, we are able to find out what the most popular content is each week, and update our homepage to reflect that current interest.

You may see advertising on some of our web pages. Although we currently do not analyze this data regularly to tailor adverts to user trends we may want to do this in the future. However, we will endeavour to inform you of any changes to this policy prior to the change.

After reviewing the cookies we use (see 'What cookies we use' section below) and the benefit they provide our visitors and members, we currently operate an 'implied consent' policy. This means that we assume you agree with the usage of our cookies. If you do not agree, we have provided guidance to help you to alter your browser settings to match the level of privacy you require (see the 'Opting Out of Cookies' and the 'Managing and Deleting Cookies' sections below).

For members, subscribers and registered users of our website, if your cookies aren't enabled on your computer, it will mean that your experience when logged in to our website will be limited to browsing.
