Cookie policy

Refine Legal is committed to the protection of your privacy and the preservation of the secrecy of your personal data.

In order to improve the quality of our services, Refine Legal uses technological solutions that enable us to enhance your experience on our website and to improve the services provided to our clients and visitors. In accordance with these goals, our website uses “cookies” that provide smooth functioning and help us understand what information you, as a visitor, deem most important.

What are cookies and how do we use them

Cookies are simple text files with small amounts of information stored on a visitor’s device — such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or tablet — and/or web browser of users when visiting a particular website. Once saved, cookies send feedback to the website they came from during every subsequent visit to that website or to another cookie-recognizing website. Cookies are not computer programs and cannot install viruses or other malicious software on the user’s device on which they are stored. Cookies typically serve to enable the website to function properly, but they may have other purposes depending on their type.

Cookies perform a variety of useful functions such as memorizing users’ settings, tracking the pages that the user has visited and the content the user has searched for, as well as tracking the number of visitors to the website and improving the user experience by understanding your needs.

For the types of cookies that are in use on our website, information about your consent to their use and instructions for deleting them, please refer to the relevant sections below.

Why are we using cookies

Refine Legal uses cookies when you visit its website to identify your web browser every time you access our website. Refine Legal uses this information to enable you to better navigate our website. We also use add-ons that store information in your local browser in order to better understand the analytics of the website.

We analyses how the website is used and how much it is visited. On your visit to our website, some of the cookies may collect information on how you interact with our pages (for example, which pages you visit, in what order, and how long you stay on each page), in order to help us measure and improve the performance of our website.

Refine Legal also uses cookies to collect anonymous, aggregate statistics that allow us to understand how visitors use our website and help us improve its structure and content.

Which cookies we use

1. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential to the proper functioning of our website. They allow you to use all the features of our website and to access all of its contents. Although these cookies collect and store certain information about you, they do not serve for your targeted personal identification. If these cookies were not in use, access to certain content and features on our website would be partially or completely disabled. The application of strictly necessary cookies does not require your prior consent.

2. Performance cookies (analytical cookies)

Performance cookies enable us to track visits to our website in order to measure and improve its performance. They help us to know which pages are most and least visited and to monitor how visitors move across our website. Information collected by these cookies is, as a rule, aggregated and anonymized. On our website, performance cookies are set by Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) and Microsoft Clarity (provided by Microsoft Corporation). These cookies are applied only upon your explicit prior consent given through the cookie banner. If you do not accept these cookies, we will not be able to know when you are visiting our website and we will not be able to track its performance.

3. Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable a higher level of personalization of the website. These cookies remember information that you have already entered once before (such as language selection on the site or font size) in order to enable improved and more comfortable functioning of our website. Functional cookies may contain personal data that you have voluntarily entered on our website. These cookies are applied only upon your explicit prior consent given through the cookie banner. If you do not accept these cookies, the performance and functionality of our website may be impaired.

4. Targeting and marketing cookies

The purpose of targeting and marketing cookies is to display content in accordance with your interests. Refine Legal does not currently use targeting or marketing cookies on its website. Should Refine Legal introduce such cookies in the future, they will be applied only upon your explicit prior consent given through the cookie banner and this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly.

Third-party cookies

Depending on the content available on our website, cookies may be set by Refine Legal or by third parties. Third-party cookies come from a third party as a provider.

Our website currently uses the following third-party cookies:

  • Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States of America — performance (analytical) cookies used to measure and analyses the use of our website. More information about Google Analytics and the processing of personal data by Google LLC is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

By using these cookies, the third parties that have set them may collect information about your use of our website. Certain information collected through these cookies (such as IP address and device and browsing information) may be transferred to, and processed in, the United States of America. Such transfers are carried out on the basis of appropriate safeguards, in particular the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission and, where applicable, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where the relevant recipient is certified under that framework.

How to manage and delete cookies

For the application of cookies on our website (except for strictly necessary cookies), we need your prior consent. Your consent is in no way presumed. If you wish to disable or delete cookies, you would first have to explicitly accept them in the cookie banner that will be shown to you on your first visit to our website.

Disabling cookies in the cookie banner

A section of our website where you can manage cookies that apply to you will be shown to you on your first visit to our website (the “cookie banner“). In this section, you will be able to select which cookies you accept and which cookies you do not want to apply. In addition to the strictly necessary cookies that are pre-accepted, all other types of cookies have the option for you to explicitly allow their application by ticking the box / toggling the on-off switch in front of the relevant cookie category. If you do not explicitly agree to the use of these cookies, it will be deemed that you have withheld your consent. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by using the cookie-settings link made available on our website.

Disabling cookies through internet browsers

If you do not want our website to store cookies on your device, you can change your internet browser settings so that you receive a warning before certain cookies are saved. You can also set up your internet browser to reject most or only certain cookies from the host or third parties. You can also withdraw your consent to cookies at any time by deleting cookies that have already been saved to your browser.

Please note that these settings need to be made in relation to each device from which you search or visit our website, whether in your computer (in any form), mobile phone, tablet device, or any other device.
