Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit the Pembridge Solicitors Limited website.
Our use of cookies is limited. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising cookies, remarketing cookies or behavioural profiling technologies on this website.
The website uses Cloudflare for website security, protection against malicious or automated traffic and delivery of the website. Cloudflare may place cookies where they are required for particular security functions.
We also use Google Search Console to monitor how the website appears in Google Search. Google Search Console is not used by us as a visitor analytics service and we do not install Google Analytics as part of that service.
Information about the wider collection and use of personal information is contained in our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of information that can be stored on your computer, mobile telephone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform different functions. They may, for example, help a website maintain security, remember that a particular action has been completed, maintain a session or recognise that a device has successfully passed a security check.
The rules applying to cookies can also apply to other technologies that store information on, or access information from, a user's device.
These may include technologies such as browser storage, scripts, tags and similar technical mechanisms.
Cookies Used On This Website
We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing or behavioural tracking.
We do not use Google Analytics on this website.
Cloudflare may set technically necessary cookies when a relevant Cloudflare security or traffic-management function is activated during your visit.
The particular cookies placed can vary depending on the Cloudflare services and security measures that are triggered.
Examples of Cloudflare cookies that may be used include:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | May be used where Cloudflare bot protection is active to help distinguish legitimate requests from automated or malicious traffic. |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | May be set after a visitor successfully completes a Cloudflare security challenge so that the website can recognise that the challenge has been passed. |
A Cloudflare cookie will not necessarily be placed on every visit. The cookies used depend on the security products, configuration and circumstances relevant to the individual request.
Cloudflare
We use Cloudflare as part of the infrastructure used to protect and deliver this website.
Cloudflare may process technical information and use cookies in connection with functions such as:
- Detecting malicious or automated website traffic.
- Protecting the website against bots and automated attacks.
- Managing security challenges.
- Protecting website availability and performance.
- Applying security and traffic-management rules.
Cloudflare describes the cookies used for these services as strictly necessary for the relevant Cloudflare service, except where Cloudflare states otherwise.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Certain storage and access technologies can be used without consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user.
Where a Cloudflare cookie is necessary to provide website security or a related technical function, we treat it as a necessary cookie rather than an optional advertising or analytics cookie.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to help monitor the visibility and technical performance of this website in Google Search.
Search Console can provide information such as:
- Search queries for which pages from the website appeared.
- Impressions in Google Search.
- Clicks from Google Search results.
- Search positions.
- Indexing and crawling information.
- Technical issues affecting Google's ability to access or index pages.
We do not use Google Search Console as a substitute for Google Analytics and we do not place Google Analytics tracking code on this website.
Website ownership for Google Search Console may be verified using technical verification methods such as a verification meta tag or DNS record. Such verification does not require us to install Google Analytics.
How Long Cookies Remain On Your Device
The length of time a cookie remains on a device depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service responsible for setting it.
Some security cookies are short-lived and expire after a limited period or after a period of inactivity.
Cloudflare states that the __cf_bm cookie, where used, expires after approximately 30 minutes of continuous inactivity.
The duration of other Cloudflare cookies depends on the security function and configuration concerned.
A cf_clearance cookie may remain for the period configured for the relevant Cloudflare challenge so that a visitor who has already successfully completed a security check is not immediately required to complete the same check again.
Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies using their privacy or security settings.
Depending on your browser, you may be able to:
- View cookies stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block cookies from a particular website.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block all cookies.
- Delete cookies when the browser is closed.
Blocking security cookies may affect the operation of the website. For example, it may result in Cloudflare repeating a security check or, in some circumstances, may prevent access where a security cookie is required to complete a challenge.
Changes To This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if the technologies or services used by the website change, or if applicable legal or regulatory requirements change.
For example, the policy may need to be updated if we introduce a new website service that places additional cookies or if Cloudflare changes the cookies associated with the security features used on this website.
The date at the beginning of this policy shows when it was most recently updated.
