Sentinel Legal uses cookies and related technologies to keep our site running smoothly and to learn how visitors engage with our content. This page describes those technologies and explains your options.
1. Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a small data file saved to your device when you visit a website. Cookies help sites remember preferences and understand traffic patterns. They fall into several categories:
- Session cookies: Temporary — deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies: Remain until they expire or you remove them
- First-party cookies: Placed by the site you're visiting
- Third-party cookies: Placed by external services embedded on the page
2. Cookies on This Site
2.1 Essential Cookies
These are required for basic functionality — navigation, secure form submissions, and similar core features. Disabling them would break parts of the site, so they cannot be turned off.
2.2 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember settings you choose, such as your consent selection. They help us avoid repeating prompts and tailor the experience to your needs.
2.3 Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we gather aggregated statistics — popular pages, average visit duration, and common navigation paths. This data, typically anonymised, helps us refine site structure and content.
2.4 Marketing Cookies
If enabled, marketing cookies track referral sources and campaign performance. We never sell personal data; these cookies exist only to measure outreach effectiveness.
3. Controlling Your Preferences
You decide which optional cookies we may set:
- Consent banner: On your first visit, a prompt lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies
- Browser controls: Most browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies in their settings — though blocking everything may limit functionality
- Opt-out extensions: Tools like the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on can prevent specific services from collecting data
4. Local Storage
We may also use your browser's local storage to save preferences. Local storage works like cookies but holds more data and persists until you or the site clears it. Our consent system relies on local storage to remember your choices between visits.
5. Policy Updates
We may revise this document as technologies or regulations change. Significant updates will be reflected in the revision date at the top of the page.
