Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 September 2026
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. Websites may also use similar browser technologies, such as local or session storage, to remember information or provide particular functionality.
In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer collectively to cookies and similar storage technologies where appropriate.
How we use cookies
Alpiner Law uses only cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security and functionality of the website and the services you request.
These technologies may support functions including:
- secure operation and delivery of the website;
- website infrastructure and security;
- maintaining information necessary to provide functionality requested by you; and
- enabling the operation and submission of website forms.
We do not currently use cookies for advertising, remarketing, behavioural profiling or visitor analytics.
Essential cookies
Essential cookies and similar technologies are required for the website or a service requested through it to function correctly and securely.
They may be used for purposes including website infrastructure, traffic management, security and maintaining functionality requested by a visitor.
Some essential technologies may remain on your device for a limited period after you leave the website where this is necessary for their security or operational purpose.
Because these technologies are necessary for the operation and security of the website or the services being provided, they are not used on the basis of consent.
Website forms
When you use a form on the website, temporary browser storage or other necessary technologies may be used to maintain information required for the operation and submission of that form.
Any personal information you provide through a form is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
These technologies are not used for advertising, behavioural tracking or profiling.
Third-party services
We use selected service providers where necessary to operate the website and provide its functionality. These may include providers involved in:
- website hosting and infrastructure;
- website and application security;
- delivery of website resources; and
- processing and delivery of website form submissions and communications.
Where these providers process personal data on our behalf or in connection with their own services, their processing is subject to applicable data-protection requirements and their respective privacy arrangements.
The website does not currently use third-party advertising networks or visitor analytics services.
Managing cookies and browser storage
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and other stored website data through their privacy or security settings.
You may block or delete essential website storage using your browser. However, doing so may prevent parts of the website or functionality requested through it from working correctly.
Legal basis and applicable law
Where information stored or accessed through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal data, it is processed in accordance with applicable data-protection legislation.
This includes the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and applicable provisions of the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003.
Strictly necessary technologies are used where required to provide, secure or operate the website and services requested by the user, in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if the technologies used by the website or applicable legal requirements change.
If we introduce technologies that require consent, such as non-essential analytics, advertising or behavioural tracking technologies, we will implement an appropriate consent mechanism before those technologies are used where required by law.
The date shown at the top of this policy indicates when it was last updated.
