Privacy & cookies

Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies are, how Wimbledon Solicitors uses them on this website, and how you can manage them. We believe in keeping things simple โ€” we use only the cookies our website genuinely needs, and we don't currently use cookies for analytics or advertising.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit โ€” for example, whether you are logged in. Cookies are used by almost every website to make them work properly, to remember preferences, and (on many sites, though not currently ours) to track behaviour for analytics or advertising.

Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we must tell you what cookies we use and, for any non-essential cookies, get your consent before setting them.

Cookies we use on this website

We currently use only strictly necessary cookies โ€” cookies that are essential for the website to function. These do not require your consent under PECR. We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

For ordinary visitors browsing the site, no cookies are set beyond temporary technical cookies that the browser discards when the tab is closed. The cookies above are only set if you log into the WordPress admin area.

Hosting and security cookies

Our website is hosted on Hostinger and may include automatic security cookies set by the hosting platform to protect against malicious traffic, bots, and DDoS attacks. These are considered strictly necessary under PECR and do not require consent. They contain no personal data โ€” only a random identifier used to recognise legitimate traffic.

Analytics and marketing cookies

We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies on this website. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, or any third-party tracking technologies. We do not share visitor data with any third parties for marketing purposes.

If we add such tools in future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent through a cookie banner before any non-essential cookies are set.

How to manage cookies in your browser

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Each browser is slightly different โ€” links below take you to the relevant instructions:

Blocking or deleting our strictly necessary cookies will not prevent you from using the public-facing parts of this website. It will prevent administrators from logging into WordPress to edit content.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly if we change the cookies we use. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We recommend reviewing this policy occasionally so you stay informed about how we use cookies.
