What we store on your device, why, and how to change it.
Last updated: 10 August 2026
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things between page loads and visits, such as which language you chose or whether you are signed in.
These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They include your session cookie when signed in, a security token that protects forms against cross-site request forgery, and the NEXT_LOCALE cookie that remembers your language choice.
These help us understand which pages people find useful and where they get stuck, in aggregate. They are only set if you accept them, and the data is not used to identify you individually or sold to anyone.
We do not use advertising cookies, we do not run third-party ad trackers, and we do not sell any data collected through cookies. Given that people use Legally to analyse private legal documents, we treat tracking as inappropriate for this product.
You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings on this site. Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies in its settings, though blocking strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of the site from working.
