This cookie policy explains how Gerard James Estate Planning Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website https://gerardjamesestateplanning.co.uk/.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal data collected via our website and services.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (for example computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website.

They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to website owners and to improve the user experience.

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts and local storage, and we refer to all of these collectively as cookies in this policy.

3. Types of cookies we use

We group the cookies we use into the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website. They enable core functions such as security, network management and accessibility, and they remember your cookie preferences. You cannot switch these cookies off using our cookie tools although you may be able to block them in your browser settings which may cause some parts of the site to stop working properly.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited most and if users see error messages. They allow us to measure and improve the performance of our site. The information they collect is aggregated and does not directly identify you. We only set these cookies with your consent.

Functionality cookies

These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering choices you make, for example your preferred region. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. We only set these cookies with your consent.

Advertising and social media cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by advertising networks or social media providers. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites, or to allow you to share our content on social media. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. We only set these cookies with your consent.

4. The cookies we set

The cookies used on our site may change over time as we improve and update our services.

Our cookie banner or preference centre will always show the current cookies in use, including their name, purpose, type and duration.

first party analytics cookies, for example to measure visits and page views
third party analytics or advertising cookies, for example from search engines or social media platforms, if we choose to use these services

5. How we obtain consent for cookies

When you first visit our website you will see a banner or pop up asking you to accept or reject non essential cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are set automatically when you visit the site because they are needed to make it work.

All other cookies, including performance, analytics, functionality, advertising and social media cookies, are only set if you choose to accept them.

You can give or withdraw consent separately for different categories of cookies where our cookie preference tool provides that option.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings link on our site or by revisiting the banner if it is presented again.
