Our website uses cookies for a number of reasons. This Cookie Policy explains what they are, which types we use, and how you can manage your preferences. This policy will be reviewed periodically and when laws or our practices change.

If you have questions about how we use personal information, email privacy@pinsentmasons.com or read our Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy applies to cookies on this website; third-party sites linked from here have their own policies.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website. Software on your device (for example a web browser) stores cookies and may send them back to a website on later visits. Cookies allow websites to recognise your device and preferences, and provide information that can be used to improve your online experience.

You can find more general information about cookies at www.aboutcookies.org.

2. The types of cookies that we use

On this website we use a consent banner so you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage preferences by category. Where personal data is processed through these cookies, a Pinsent Masons entity is the data controller. For more on how we handle personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

Strictly necessary cookies

These operate the core functions of the website so you can visit and move around it and use its features — including remembering your cookie choices. We do not require your consent for these cookies. Without them the site may not work as expected.

Where we process personal data using necessary cookies, we do so on the basis of our legitimate interests to provide a working website and promote our business.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use and move around the website. That informs improvements such as making popular content easier to find and ensuring the site works well on the devices visitors use.

We only set these cookies where you have consented via the cookie banner. Rejecting them prevents us from collecting this usage data; site performance is not affected.

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies may provide anonymised demographics and browsing activity information and help us measure or tailor the effectiveness of campaigns. We only set these cookies with your consent. Rejecting them prevents us from relating your visits to marketing activity in the ways described in the banner.

Preference cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make (for example language or region) to give you a more tailored experience. We only set these cookies with your consent. If we are not currently using preference cookies, enabling this category will have no effect until we introduce them and update this notice.

3. Cookies set by third parties

Some pages may load third-party technologies (for example embedded video, analytics or advertising partners). Those providers may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies; they are subject to the third parties’ own policies.

4. How to manage cookies

You can change your consent at any time using the cookie preferences controls on this website (accept all, reject non-essential, or manage categories). You can also control cookies through your browser settings. If you block all cookies, including necessary ones, parts of the site may not work.
