This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle your personal data.
We are committed to transparency about the technologies we use. By understanding how and why we use cookies, you can make informed decisions about your browsing experience on our website. Our approach is designed to respect your privacy while ensuring the site functions properly and provides a smooth experience for all visitors.
EDINBURGH LAW SEMINARS LIMITED is registered in Scotland with company number SC482238. Our registered address is C/O Brodies LLP, Edinburgh, EH3 8BP, United Kingdom. If you have any questions about this Cookies Policy, you may contact us at [email protected].
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently, to provide information to website owners, and to improve the user experience. Cookies are stored in your web browser and can be read by the website that created them when you revisit it.
Cookies serve various purposes. Some are essential for the website to operate correctly, such as remembering your preferences or keeping you logged into a session. Others help website operators understand how visitors interact with their site, which pages are most popular, and where visitors may encounter issues. This information helps improve the site over time.
In addition to traditional cookies, similar technologies exist, including local storage objects, pixel tags, and web beacons. These technologies function in comparable ways and are sometimes used together with cookies. When we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these similar tracking technologies unless stated otherwise.
Cookies can be categorised by their lifespan. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them. The duration of persistent cookies varies depending on their purpose.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the types of cookies used on this website. We have organised them into categories based on their function and purpose.
These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the website. Without them, the site cannot operate as intended. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. Because they are essential to the site's operation, these cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted, rejected, or settings) | 12 months | Persistent |
| session_id | Maintains your browsing session and ensures consistent page delivery | Session | Session |
| csrf_token | Protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session | Session |
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter error messages. All information gathered by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data solely to improve how our website works and to understand which content is most valuable to visitors. Analytics cookies do not identify individual visitors.
We may use Google Analytics to collect and process this data. Google Analytics uses its own set of cookies to track visitor interactions. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located outside the European Economic Area. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier | 13 months | Persistent |
| _ga_* | Used by Google Analytics 4 to persist session state | 13 months | Persistent |
| _gid | Stores and counts pageviews to help understand site usage patterns | 24 hours | Persistent |
We do not use advertising cookies on this website. We do not employ retargeting technologies, and we do not place third-party advertising or marketing cookies on your device. Your browsing activity on our site is not tracked for the purpose of delivering targeted advertisements on other websites. This approach aligns with the educational nature of our project and our commitment to respecting your privacy and avoiding commercial tracking practices.
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control the operation of these cookies. The third-party services that may set cookies on our website are limited to analytics providers, specifically Google Analytics as described above. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses, which means your full IP address is never stored by Google in connection with your use of our website.
We do not embed social media plugins, advertising networks, or other third-party widgets that would place additional tracking cookies on your device. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookies Policy accordingly and provide appropriate notice.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our website, please refer to Google's privacy documentation. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which is freely available from Google.
You have several options for managing cookies. The method you choose depends on your preferences and the level of control you wish to exercise.
When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to Accept all cookies, Decline non-essential cookies, or adjust Settings. Your choice is stored in a persistent cookie so that the banner does not reappear on subsequent visits. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the banner to appear again.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in the "Privacy," "Security," or "Advanced" section of your browser's preferences. Common options include blocking all cookies, blocking only third-party cookies, deleting cookies when you close your browser, and being notified before a cookie is set.
Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of our website. For example, if you block all cookies, certain features such as form submissions and consent memory may not work as expected. Below are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This tool prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript code running on websites from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity. The add-on is available for most popular browsers and does not affect your ability to use websites normally.
On your first visit to our website, you will see a cookie consent banner in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This banner presents three options:
Enables all cookies, including analytics cookies, for the best experience.
Allows you to choose which optional cookie categories to enable or disable.
Rejects all non-essential cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies remain active.
Your choice is remembered via a persistent cookie stored in your browser's local storage. If you wish to change your preference after making a selection, you can clear your browser's cookies or local storage for this site, and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit. We do not place any non-essential cookies until you have actively made a choice on the consent banner.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), different legal bases apply to different categories of cookies:
We do not use cookies for advertising or profiling purposes, so no additional legal bases related to marketing processing are applicable to this website.
The data collected through cookies on this website is limited to the following categories:
None of this data is used to personally identify you. Analytics data is aggregated and viewed in summary form only. We do not combine cookie data with personal information submitted through forms (such as your name or email address from the webinar registration form). Cookie data and registration data are kept entirely separate.
We do not sell or rent any data collected through cookies to any third party. The only third party that receives data from analytics cookies is Google, through the Google Analytics service, and this data is processed in accordance with Google's data processing terms. We have a data processing agreement in place with Google that governs this relationship and ensures that appropriate safeguards are maintained.
As noted above, we have enabled IP anonymisation in Google Analytics, which means that your IP address is truncated before being transmitted to Google's servers. This further limits the possibility of identifying individual users through analytics data.
Cookie data is retained for varying periods depending on the type of cookie:
We have configured Google Analytics to set user-level and event-level data retention to the minimum available period. Aggregated reporting data (which does not contain individual-level information) may be retained for longer periods for trend analysis.
Under the GDPR and applicable UK data protection law, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days. For complaints, the ICO can be contacted at ico.org.uk.
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through cookies or any other means. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete such information from our systems.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable law. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. If changes are material, we may also reset the cookie consent banner so that you can review and renew your preferences.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies. Any changes to this policy will take effect immediately upon being posted on this page unless otherwise stated.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Cookies Policy or our use of cookies, please do not hesitate to contact us:
