Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17th April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how World Link for Law uses cookies and similar technologies on its website.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function properly, remember your preferences, support secure login where applicable, and help us understand how visitors use the website.
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- to remember your cookie preferences
- to operate secure member and administrator login areas, where applicable
- to understand how visitors use our website through Google Analytics
Where required by law, non-essential cookies, including analytics cookies, will only be used after you have given consent.
3. Cookies used on this website
A. Strictly necessary consent cookie
Cookie name: cookie_notice_accepted
Provider: World Link for Law / Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA by Hu-manity.co
Type: First-party cookie
Purpose: Records whether a visitor has accepted or rejected the cookie notice and stores the visitor’s consent choice so the banner does not continue to reappear on every page load.
Duration: As configured in the Cookie Notice / Cookie Compliance settings
Category: Strictly necessary
The Hu-manity plugin supports multiple expiry options, and the newer Cookie Compliance configuration also allows consent duration to be set in the platform settings. The retention period in this policy should therefore match the value actually selected in the website’s configuration.
B. Analytics cookies
Cookie name: _ga

Category: Analytics

The part after _ga_ varies depending on the Google Analytics property or tag configuration used on the website. Google also states that cookie settings can be overridden, so these durations are the defaults unless you have changed them in the tag or property settings.

These cookies are only used if a visitor logs into a restricted area, such as a members’ area or WordPress administration area.

4. Consent and control
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner. Strictly necessary cookies may be set without consent because they are required for the website to function properly. Analytics cookies should only be set after you have consented to them.
The Cookie Notice / Cookie Compliance platform supports consent-based script blocking and consent-duration controls. Google services can also be adjusted according to user consent through Google Consent Mode where enabled.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by using the cookie settings tool on the website, where available, or by clearing cookies in your browser and revisiting the site.
5. How to manage cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through browser settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality, including login features and secure areas.
