At Marvas Legal, ensuring your privacy and security while you visit our website is one of our primary priorities.
Within this framework you can learn about Marvas Legal’s services and complete your visit without sharing any personal data with us.
During your visits, a very limited number of cookie types are used so that your experience of the site meets your needs. Information such as the language of your browser or mobile application, your time zone, the time spent on our pages and search engine optimisation data is obtained. It is not possible for us to identify you through this information. For that reason we assure you that no personal data of yours will be processed unless you contact us.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a simple text file sent to your computer by our website’s server when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to give you a better and faster browsing experience.
Which Types of Cookies Do We Use and Why?
It should first be noted that there are two types of cookie according to their lifespan: Persistent Cookies and Session Cookies. Both types may be used on our site within the purposes set out below:
Persistent Cookie: Cookies that remain on the computer or mobile device after the browser or application is closed. They remain until you delete them or they expire. Their purpose is to remember your settings preferences so that your experience of the site continues as expected.
Session Cookie: Cookies created during your visit and deleted once your visit ends, also called “session” cookies.
It is also possible to classify cookies according to their functions and purposes. On that basis, cookies may be summarised as follows:
- Mandatory or functional cookies, used so that the website can operate as intended and to ensure security,
- Functionality cookies, which remember the preferences of the user visiting the site (e.g. the language of your browser or mobile application) so that your experience of the site occurs as you expect,
- Performance and analytics cookies, relating to use of the site and used and analysed for the development of websites, the detection of errors and checking whether the site is working correctly, consisting of information such as how long you spent on a page, which sub-links you clicked and whether you received an error message on any page,
- Marketing cookies, which enable targeted advertising to be shown to you following your visit, allow the company operating the site to show you personalised advertising, and are used to measure and analyse effectiveness in matters such as how often advertisements are seen, whether they are clicked and whether they are effective.
As can be seen, cookies as a rule do not collect your personal data. However, some may provide information capable of identifying you when matched with other information you may provide during your visit. Such cookies will also be subject to the personal data protection policy and/or notices of the relevant website. This is entirely subject to the cookie policy of the website concerned.
At Marvas Legal, cookies are used on our website only on pages containing forms, in order to ensure form security. Form cookies contain no information about the user’s visit. They create only a token to secure the form, and are deleted automatically when the browser tab is closed. These cookies are called transient or temporary cookies. They are not stored on the visitor’s device but held in active memory. They are deleted when the session closes or after a period of inactivity. These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and for visitors’ experience of the site.
In addition to the temporary session cookies above, there are cookies known as permanent or persistent cookies, which we do not create directly but which the tools we use for measurement and analysis create on our behalf. These cookies are used to identify across more than one independent session. In this context, Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, LinkedIn and AddThis — the latter added only on article pages for sharing — are used for measurement and analysis. We recommend that you also review the privacy and cookie policies of these tools. Information such as the language of your browser, your time zone, the time spent on our pages and search engine optimisation data is obtained through these tools, and information about visits to our site is shared with us in anonymous and aggregate form (such as how many visitors from which country). The tools we use do not share the personal data they process with us. The cookies created by these measurement tools have no effect on the operation of the site. The use of cookies through these tools is subject to your consent. If you do not give consent, the site will continue to work without problem on the visitor’s device. If you do not give consent, we cannot obtain analytics information about your visit.
In addition to cookies designed by Marvas Legal, cookies may be used within the scope of services received from third parties. However, we assure you that cookies used by third parties may likewise only be used for the purposes set out above. Your personal data will not be collected through cookies used by third parties either.
How Are Cookies Collected?
Cookies are collected through the devices from which you access our website and application. The information collected is specific to your devices. When you visit our website from a different device, the cookies collected during your earlier visit cannot be used.
How Can You Change Your Cookie Preferences?
You can control cookies as you wish, prevent them from being collected or stored, or delete them if they have already been collected. Most internet browsers and mobile devices allow this. How you can do so may differ for each browser and mobile device. You can find the necessary information and guidance in the settings section of your browser and mobile device.
If you choose to delete cookies, persistent cookies will be deleted. If you choose to block cookies entirely, this may also prevent functional cookies from working. Consequently, our website may not work correctly and effectively.
