Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-06
This Cookie Policy explains how Aurum ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar browser-storage technologies on aurum.law (the "Site"). It supplements our Privacy Notice.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you
visit it. The Site also uses localStorage for the same purpose. Throughout
this policy we refer to all of them as "cookies" for brevity.
Categories of cookies we use
We classify cookies into categories. You can accept or reject each non-essential category through the cookie banner that appears on your first visit, or by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer at any time.
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They cannot be disabled.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Storage | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
aurum-consent | aurum.law | Records which cookie categories you accepted so we don't ask again on every page. | localStorage | 1 year |
aurum-consent-meta | aurum.law | Stores the version and timestamp of your consent decision for our compliance audit log. | localStorage | 1 year |
Statistics
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. Data is aggregated and anonymised and is never tied to you personally.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Storage | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors so we can count sessions accurately. | Cookie | 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Persists session state for Google Analytics 4. | Cookie | 2 years |
_gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors within a single day. | Cookie | 24 hours |
_gat | Google Analytics | Throttles the rate of requests to Google's servers. | Cookie | 1 minute |
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of any page. After saving new preferences, the page will reload so any previously loaded analytics scripts are unloaded.
You can also remove cookies through your browser's own settings. Doing so will reset your consent and the cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
Audit log
When you save consent preferences we record the categories you accepted or rejected, the version of this Cookie Policy you consented under, the timestamp of your decision, your browser's user agent and locale, and a salted hash of your IP address (we never store the raw IP). This record is used solely to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR and ePrivacy directive in case of a regulatory inquiry — it is not used for marketing or analytics.
