Cookies Policy
Last updated: 30 April 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains how Law Street Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on LawStreet at lawstreet.co.uk.
In this policy, LawStreet, we, us and our mean Law Street Ltd.
Cookies and similar technologies help websites work, remember preferences, understand usage and provide security features. Some cookies are essential and do not require consent. Non-essential cookies, such as analytics cookies, are only used where you have given consent.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.
Cookies can help a website recognise your device, remember your preferences, keep you signed in, protect forms, understand usage patterns and provide certain features.
Cookies may be:
- session cookies, which expire when you close your browser;
- persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them;
- first-party cookies, which are set by the website you are visiting; or
- third-party cookies, which are set by another organisation providing services through the website.
Similar technologies may include tags, pixels, local storage, session storage and scripts that collect or store information on your device.
3. How we use cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.
3.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for the Website to work properly. They may be used to:
- keep you signed in;
- protect forms and account features;
- remember your cookie preference;
- maintain security;
- prevent fraud or abuse; and
- provide services you have requested.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 ("PECR") because they are needed to provide the Website or service you have requested.
3.2 Analytics cookies and tags
Analytics cookies and tags help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve content, search, navigation and performance.
Where we use analytics cookies or analytics tags, we only set or load them where you have consented through the cookie banner or cookie settings.
This may include Google Analytics, loaded directly or through Google Tag Manager where applicable.
If you choose "Necessary only", analytics cookies are not set and analytics tags are not loaded.
3.3 First-party server-side analytics
We may use first-party server-side analytics to understand how the Website is used. This does not involve setting analytics cookies on your device and does not rely on JavaScript tracking.
Server-side analytics may use information already generated when your browser requests a page, such as IP address, page URL, query string, referring URL, browser user-agent, response status and timestamp.
We use this information to understand visitor numbers, page popularity, search performance, outbound engagement with firm profiles, security and site performance. Raw events are retained for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated into anonymous statistics, as described in our Privacy Policy.
3.4 Payment processing cookies
If you choose to pay for a subscription or another paid service, our payment provider may set cookies or use similar technologies during checkout.
These may be used for payment processing, fraud prevention, security and regulatory compliance.
These cookies are generally necessary to provide the payment service you have requested.
3.5 Cookies we do not use
We do not currently use advertising cookies or behavioural advertising cookies.
We do not share cookie-derived data with advertising networks for behavioural advertising.
4. Cookies we use
The exact cookies used may change over time as we update the Website or our service providers. The tables below describe the main categories of cookies we use.

8. Your choices
When you first visit LawStreet, you may see a cookie banner or cookie settings tool.
You can choose:
- Accept all: allows strictly necessary cookies and analytics cookies or tags.
- Necessary only: allows only cookies and technologies needed for the Website to work.
You can change your preference at any time by using the Manage cookies link in the Website footer, where available.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, delete or restrict cookies.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Website from working properly, including login, account features, forms, cookie preferences or payment checkout.
9. Browser controls
You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings. The exact steps depend on the browser you use.
Common options include:
- deleting existing cookies;
- blocking all cookies;
- blocking third-party cookies;
- allowing cookies only for certain websites; and
- clearing cookies when you close your browser.
Browser controls may not always control server-side analytics, because server-side analytics use information generated when your browser requests a page rather than placing analytics cookies on your device.
10. Changes to this Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and similar technologies we use, our service providers, our Website, or legal requirements.
When we make changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
For significant changes, such as introducing new categories of non-essential cookies, we may provide a more prominent notice or ask for consent again where required.
