Last Updated: 10 April 2025

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information — such as whether you have already seen a notice — across pages or between visits. Cookies are very widely used and are an ordinary part of how websites function.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to keep the website working correctly, to understand in broad terms how visitors use the site, and — with your consent — to improve future visits. We do not use cookies to identify you personally without your agreement, and we do not use cookies to serve advertising.

Cookies We Use

Our cookies fall into four categories:

Essential Cookies

Always active — required for the site to function

These cookies enable the core features of the website — including the cookie consent mechanism itself. They cannot be disabled. Examples: session identifiers, consent records. Duration: session or up to 12 months.

Analytics Cookies

Optional — help us understand site usage

These cookies collect anonymous information about how pages are visited — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and whether they are returning visitors. This helps us identify which parts of the site are useful. We use Google Analytics. Duration: up to 24 months.

Marketing Cookies

Optional — used for relevant advertising

These cookies allow third-party advertising services to understand whether a visitor has interacted with our site, in order to show relevant content elsewhere. We use these sparingly and only where they assist people seeking pension legal services to find us. Duration: up to 90 days.

Preference Cookies

Optional — remember your settings

These cookies remember choices you make — such as your language or region — so you do not need to set them again on a return visit. Duration: up to 12 months.

Your Cookie Preferences

Use the toggles above to set your preferences, then save them below. You may also accept or decline all optional cookies at once.

Your preferences have been saved.

Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party cookies from: Google Analytics (usage statistics); Google Tag Manager (tag management); and, where advertising is active, Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) advertising platforms. Each of these services has its own cookie policy, which we encourage you to review independently.

Cookie Duration

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period — typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on their purpose — unless you delete them earlier through your browser settings.
