This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are set when you visit lawbylak.co.uk, and how to control them. It applies alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function; others (like analytics or advertising) are optional and require your consent under the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

2. What cookies LawByLak sets

The short answer: very few, and only the essential ones. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising trackers, retargeting pixels, or any third-party measurement scripts.

Essential cookies set by our infrastructure

  • Cloudflare — sets a small number of cookies (e.g. __cf_bm, cf_clearance) to distinguish humans from bots and protect the site from abuse. These are essential security cookies. They do not track your behaviour across sites. Cloudflare's cookie reference.

Cookies set only when you interact with specific features

  • MailerLite — when you submit the email-list signup form, MailerLite may briefly set a cookie to confirm your submission. MailerLite cookie policy.
  • Payhip — when you click a "Buy" button and proceed to checkout, you are transferred to Payhip's domain, which sets cookies needed for the checkout to function (session, fraud prevention, payment). These are Payhip's cookies, set on Payhip's domain. Payhip privacy policy.

3. What we do NOT use

  • ❌ Google Analytics
  • ❌ Google Tag Manager
  • ❌ Facebook / Meta Pixel
  • ❌ TikTok Pixel
  • ❌ LinkedIn Insight Tag
  • ❌ Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, or other session-replay tools
  • ❌ Advertising or retargeting cookies
  • ❌ A/B testing platforms
  • ❌ Affiliate tracking

If we ever add any of these in future, this page will be updated, a consent banner will be implemented, and email list subscribers will be notified before changes go live.

4. Consent

Under PECR, websites must obtain consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary. Because LawByLak only sets strictly necessary (security/essential) cookies on its own domain, we do not currently show a cookie consent banner. If we ever introduce optional cookies (e.g. analytics), we will add a compliant consent banner before they fire.

5. How to control or remove cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site from working (notably the Cloudflare security layer, which may then challenge you on every visit).

6. Local storage

Some modules use the browser's local storage feature (specifically, the LawByLak interactive HTML revision modules use it to remember your RAG progress and quiz state). This data is stored entirely on your device, never sent to us, and can be cleared via your browser's "clear site data" function.

7. Changes

If we change our cookie practices, this page will be updated. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.
