Introduction
#This is the Cookie Policy of Global Law Lists.org™ (“Global Law Lists”, “we”), operated by Weblaya Digital Bhutan, Thimphu, Kingdom of Bhutan. It explains which cookies and similar technologies are used when you visit our website at https://globallawlists.org (the “Website”), what they do, and how you can control them.
Essential cookies are set when you use the Website, because it cannot work without them. Optional analytics cookies are set only if you choose “Accept all” in the cookie bar.
01What Are Cookies?
#Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are used to make websites work, to keep them secure, and to measure how they are used.
Cookies are classified into two categories:
- First-party cookies
- These are set by the Website itself (globallawlists.org).
- Third-party cookies
- These are set or controlled by other services the Website uses. On this Website, these are Cloudflare (security) and Google Analytics (measurement).
02Types of Cookies We Use
#We use two types of cookies:
- Essential cookies
- These are strictly necessary. They keep you signed in, protect forms, help defend the Website against automated attacks, and remember small settings the Website needs. They cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies
- Google Analytics cookies that help us understand how the Website is used, so we can improve it. They are set only after you choose “Accept all”.
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not show third-party advertising on the Website.
03Why Do We Use Cookies?
#We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Operational necessity
- To make the Website work and provide the services you request, such as signing in.
- Security
- To protect the Website and its users from abuse and automated traffic.
- Analytics
- With your consent, to measure how visitors use the Website so we can improve its content and usability.
04What Cookies Do We Use?
#These are the cookies the Website uses:
| Cookie | Purpose | Provider | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Keeps you signed in and protects forms you submit. | globallawlists.org | Essential | When you close your browser |
| gll_local_day | Stores your local date so that the daily featured law firm changes at your midnight. | globallawlists.org | Essential | 2 days |
| __cf_bm | Helps Cloudflare tell people apart from automated traffic. Set only when Cloudflare’s bot protection applies. | Cloudflare | Essential (security) | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Records that your browser passed a Cloudflare security check, so you are not asked again straight away. Set only after such a check. | Cloudflare | Essential (security) | Set by the security check; short-lived |
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for Google Analytics. Set only after “Accept all”. | Google Analytics | Analytics | 400 days |
| _ga_28R55MPSZR | Keeps the state of your visit for Google Analytics 4. Set only after “Accept all”. | Google Analytics | Analytics | 400 days |
Your cookie choice itself is not stored in a cookie. It is kept in your browser’s local storage under the name gll_cookie_consent, with the value “essential” or “all”, and it stays there until you clear this site’s data.
05How Can I Control Cookies?
#On your first visit, a cookie bar at the bottom of the screen offers two choices:
- Essential only
- Only the essential cookies above are used. Google Analytics runs in Google Consent Mode with analytics and advertising storage denied: it sets no cookies and sends only limited, cookieless signals.
- Accept all
- The Google Analytics cookies are also allowed.
To change your choice, clear this site’s data (cookies and site data) in your browser settings. The cookie bar will appear again on your next visit, and you can choose again.
Essential cookies cannot be switched off from the cookie bar because the Website cannot work without them. You can block or delete any cookie in your browser settings, but if you block essential cookies, signing in and forms will not work.
06How to Manage Cookies in Your Browser
#Each browser has its own cookie controls. These guides explain them:
You can also stop Google Analytics in every website you visit with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
07Other Tracking Technologies
#The Website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a cookieless script that measures page loads and performance without identifying you. Fonts and, on profiles that show a location, Google Maps are loaded from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address in order to deliver them; in our checks they set no cookies on this Website.
Some emails we send contain a small image and tracked links that tell us whether the email was opened and which links were clicked. These do not set cookies.
08Do You Serve Targeted Advertising?
#No. We do not show third-party advertising on the Website and do not use advertising cookies. Paid membership placements on the Website are explained in our Advertising Disclosure.
09How Often Will You Update This Cookie Policy?
#We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
