ARBOR LEGIS LTD
Effective date: 19 May 2026
1. Introduction
1.1 This Cookie Policy explains how ARBOR LEGIS LTD (“Arbor Legis“, “we“, “us” or “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.arborlegis.co.uk (the “Website“).
1.2 It should be read together with our Privacy Policy (https://www.arborlegis.co.uk/privacy-policy) and our Terms of Service (https://www.arborlegis.co.uk/terms-of-service). Where cookies collect personal data, that data is also handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
1.3 We use cookies in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 (as amended) (“PECR“) and, where personal data is processed, the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. What cookies are
2.1 Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (such as pixels, tags, local storage and software development kits) perform comparable functions. In this Policy, “cookies” refers to cookies and all such similar technologies.
2.2 Cookies may be:
(a) session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them;
(b) first-party cookies, set by us, or third-party cookies, set by another organisation whose services appear on the Website.
3. How we use cookies and our legal basis
3.1 We use cookies to operate and secure the Website, to remember your preferences, and — only with your consent — to understand how the Website is used and to support communications.
3.2 Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Website to function and to keep it secure. Under PECR these do not require consent, and they cannot be switched off through our cookie banner.
3.3 All other cookies (preferences, analytics/performance and marketing) are set only with your consent, which you give through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time (see clause 6). We do not treat continued browsing, scrolling or closing the banner as consent, and non-essential cookies are not set before you actively consent.
4. Categories of cookies we use
Category | Purpose | Consent required |
Strictly necessary | Enable core functionality, page navigation, form submission, load balancing and security; store your cookie-consent choices | No (essential) |
Preferences / functional | Remember choices you make (such as language or display settings) to personalise your experience | Yes |
Analytics / performance | Help us understand how visitors use the Website (pages viewed, navigation, errors) so we can improve it; data is aggregated and used in a privacy-protective way | Yes |
Marketing / targeting | Measure the effectiveness of, and tailor, our business communications and campaigns | Yes |
5. Cookies set on the Website
5.1 The Website is built on WordPress and the Elementor framework and, depending on your interactions and the consent you give, the following cookies may be used. Cookie names, providers and durations may change as technologies are updated; the current position is always available through the cookie-settings link described in clause 6.
Cookie / technology | Provider | Category | Purpose | Typical duration |
Cookie-consent record (e.g. consent-state cookie) | First party / consent tool | Strictly necessary | Stores your cookie preferences so we do not ask on every visit | Up to 12 months |
wordpress_test_cookie | First party (WordPress) | Strictly necessary | Checks whether the browser accepts cookies | Session |
Security / load-balancing cookies | First party / hosting provider | Strictly necessary | Protect the Website and distribute traffic | Session – 12 months |
elementor and related framework cookies | First party (Elementor) | Strictly necessary / functional | Support correct rendering and functionality of pages built with Elementor | Session – 12 months |
_GRECAPTCHA | Google (reCAPTCHA), if enabled on the contact form | Strictly necessary | Protects forms against spam and abuse | ~6 months |

5.2 Strictly necessary cookies are set when you access the Website. Functional, analytics and marketing cookies are set only after, and to the extent that, you consent through the cookie banner. If you do not consent, those categories are not used.
6. Managing and withdrawing your consent
6.1 When you first visit the Website you are presented with a cookie banner allowing you to accept all, reject all (non-essential), or set your preferences by category. Rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them.
6.2 You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, with effect for the future, by using the “Cookie settings” link available on the Website. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
6.3 We will ask you to confirm your preferences again periodically (and in any event no less frequently than every 12 months), and where we introduce materially different cookies.
7. Controlling cookies through your browser
7.1 Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings, and to be notified when cookies are set. The method differs by browser; see the “Help” function of your browser for instructions.
7.2 Blocking or deleting cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of the Website, and some features may not work as intended. Browser controls operate independently of our cookie banner and may not register a consent choice with our cookie tool.
7.3 Many browsers support a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no consistent industry or legal standard for responding to such signals, and we respond to consent choices made through our cookie banner rather than to “Do Not Track” signals.
8. Third-party cookies
8.1 Some cookies described above are set by third parties (for example, analytics or security providers) that act independently in respect of certain processing. We do not control these cookies. You should review the relevant third party’s own cookie and privacy notices for further information about how they use cookies and the choices they offer.
9. Changes to this Policy
9.1 We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in law or guidance. The “Effective date” indicates when it was last changed, and the current cookie inventory is always reflected in the cookie-settings tool. Material changes will be brought to your attention through the Website.
