Cookies and analytics

Essential storage

We use a secure session cookie to support website security, forms and administrator sign-in. It expires when your browser session ends. We also store your analytics choice in your browser for up to 180 days using sw_analytics_consent_v1. This preference is used to remember your decision.

Optional Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 helps us understand visits to broad sections of this website. It only loads after you choose Accept analytics. If you reject, do not choose, or disable JavaScript, we do not load Google Analytics or send analytics requests.

When allowed, Google processes technical information about your browser and device and uses first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_… to distinguish visits. We configure these cookies to last up to 180 days. Google receives your IP address when your browser connects to its service. See Google’s privacy policy for information about its processing.

Our analytics reports use broad page categories such as Areas of law rather than individual legal services. We do not send enquiry contents, names, email addresses, page query strings or referring URLs. We exclude contact, quote, careers application and admin pages, all pages with query strings, form responses and password-reset pages. Advertising features and automatic interaction measurement are disabled.

Change or withdraw your choice

Use Cookie settings in the footer to accept or reject analytics at any time. Rejecting after accepting stops collection, removes accessible Google Analytics cookies and reloads the page to unload the tag. Withdrawal affects future collection and does not erase information already processed by Google.
