This Cookie Policy explains how Curtis Legal Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at curtislegal.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and giving you meaningful control over them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device — computer, tablet, or mobile phone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
Cookies cannot be programmed, cannot carry viruses, and cannot install malware on your device. However, they can be used to track browsing activity, which is why UK and EU law requires website operators to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
There are different types of cookies. Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. First-party cookies are set by us directly. Third-party cookies are set by external services we use, such as Google Analytics.
Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- To ensure our website functions correctly and securely
- To remember your cookie consent preferences so we do not ask you repeatedly
- To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it
- To measure the effectiveness of our content and services
We do not use cookies to identify you personally without your knowledge, to serve targeted advertising, or to sell your data to third parties. Curtis Legal products are ad-free and we do not allow advertisers to place cookies on our website.
Types of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for our website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions you take — such as submitting our enquiry form, logging into the client portal, or setting your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, parts of the website will not work correctly.
You do not need to give consent for strictly necessary cookies as they are required for the site to operate. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
2. Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with our website. All information collected is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify you personally from this data. We use this information to improve how our website works, to understand which pages are most useful, and to identify any technical issues.
We use Google Analytics (GA4) for this purpose. Google Analytics places cookies on your device to help us understand things like how many people visit our site, how long they spend on each page, and how they navigate between pages. Google may also use this data in accordance with their own privacy policy.
3. Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering choices you have made. If you disable these cookies, some features of our website may not function as intended.
4. Consent Management Cookies
We use CookieYes to manage your cookie consent preferences. When you accept or decline cookies on our website, CookieYes places a cookie to remember your choice so you are not asked again on subsequent visits.

Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie banner giving you a clear choice to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Both options are equally prominent — we do not use dark patterns or misleading design to push you towards accepting cookies.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our website. Your preferences will be saved for one year.
