Cookie Policy | Lavery Pennell
Last updated: 15 March 2026
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. They can help a site remember preferences, improve performance, measure traffic or understand whether a user followed a tracked link. In this policy, the term âcookiesâ may also include similar technologies such as pixels, local storage or session storage where relevant.
2. Why we use cookies
Lavery Pennell may use cookies and related technologies for several practical reasons:
- Strictly necessary: required for the Site to function (e.g. load balancing, security, remembering cookie preferences). These cannot be disabled if you want to use the Site.
- Functionality: to remember your choices (e.g. region, display preferences) and to provide enhanced features.
- Analytics and performance: to understand how visitors use the Site (e.g. which pages are viewed, how long users stay, how they arrived). This helps us improve content and user experience. Data may be aggregated and anonymised.
- Advertising and affiliate: to record that you visited the Site, clicked a link to a partner operator, or completed an action (e.g. sign-up) so we can attribute referrals and measure the effectiveness of our content. This may involve third-party cookies from our affiliate or advertising partners.
3. Cookies we use
The table below summarises the main categories of cookies and similar tools that may be used on the Site. The exact list can change over time as content, analytics services or partner integrations change.
| Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Core site operation and security | First-party / necessary | Session or short retention |
| Preference storage or consent choices | Primarily first-party | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics and visitor measurement | First- or third-party | Session to 24 months |
| Referral attribution or affiliate tracking | First- and third-party | Often 30-90 days |
Where third-party cookies are used, their operation is also subject to the policies of the relevant provider. We do not control those external policies, so readers may need to review the partnerâs own privacy or cookie notice for more detailed information.
4. Consent and your choices
Where the law requires consent for non-essential cookies, we aim to rely on a consent mechanism such as a cookie notice or similar preference tool. Depending on the setup in use at the time, readers may be able to accept, reject or customise certain categories before those tools are activated.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to clear existing cookies, block third-party cookies or disable storage more broadly, although doing so may affect parts of the Site such as saved preferences, measurement accuracy or affiliate attribution.
5. Do Not Track and similar signals
Some browsers provide a âDo Not Trackâ signal or comparable privacy setting. Because there is no single binding standard for how those signals must be interpreted, the Site may not respond to them in a uniform way. Readers who want to restrict tracking should rely primarily on browser controls and any cookie preferences made available on the Site.
6. Updates to this policy
This Cookie Policy may change from time to time to reflect updates in technology, regulation, analytics setup or partner integrations. When it does, the revision date at the top of the page will be amended and, where necessary, consent preferences may be requested again.
