Cookies Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on return visits, remember your preferences, and collect analytics about how the site is used.

2. How we use cookies

Legals.ie uses cookies in three categories:

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the site to function. They cannot be disabled. Examples: session cookies that remember your login state, security tokens that prevent cross-site request forgery.

Analytics cookies (consent-based)

We use anonymous analytics to understand which pages are most useful and where we should improve. We currently use [tool name — e.g., Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom]. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them via our cookie banner.

Functional cookies (consent-based)

Where we offer features like newsletter signup with persistent state or remembered preferences, we use functional cookies. These are set with consent.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we use (e.g., embedded Calendly booking widgets on solicitor profiles, payment processing on subscription pages). These third parties have their own cookie policies. Where we embed third-party features, we minimise tracking and only load them when needed.

4. Your choices

You can:

• Accept or reject non-essential cookies via our cookie banner on first visit
• Change your preferences anytime via [cookie settings link]
• Disable cookies entirely in your browser settings (note: this may break some site features)

For more information on managing cookies in your browser, see aboutcookies.org.

5. Updates to this policy

We update this policy when we add or change cookie use. The “Last updated” date reflects the current version.
