3.1 What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your choices and, if you allow it, tell us how people use the site. "Similar technologies" include pixels, local storage and scripts that do the same job. We call all of these "cookies" in this policy.
3.2 How we use cookies
Invicta Legal is the controller of the data collected through cookies we set. We use cookies in the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies
These make the site work, for example by keeping it secure, remembering your cookie choices and balancing server load. They do not need your consent and cannot be switched off in our settings. You can block them in your browser, but parts of the site may not work.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the site, which pages are most popular and where people run into problems, so we can improve it. Since 5 February 2026 the law allows cookies used only to collect statistics to improve the site without prior consent, as long as we tell you about them and give you a simple, free way to object. We use such cookies, and you can object using the cookie settings link.
Functional cookies
These remember choices you make, such as your preferences, to give you a better experience. We set them only if you consent, unless a legal exemption applies, for example where they are strictly necessary for a feature you asked for, or they remember your settings and preferences such as language or text size.
Marketing and advertising cookies
These track your visits across websites to show relevant advertising. We set them only if you consent.

3.4 Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by other organisations whose services we use, such as analytics providers, embedded maps, video players or social media buttons. We do not control these cookies. Please check the third party's own policy for details.
3.5 Your choices
When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept non-essential cookies. You can accept all, reject all, or choose categories. Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and nothing that needs your consent is set until you choose. If we use cookies that are exempt from consent, such as ones that only collect statistics to improve the site, we tell you about them in this policy and you can object at any time using the cookie settings link.
You can change your mind at any time, by opening the cookie settings link in the footer of any page [add link] and updating your choices, which will also withdraw your consent for the future.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. The steps differ by browser, so check the help section of yours, or visit www.aboutcookies.org. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
If you use a browser or device setting that sends a signal such as "Do Not Track", we may not respond to it, because there is no agreed standard.
3.6 Legal basis
We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), as amended by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, and the UK GDPR. We rely on your consent for cookies that need it, such as marketing cookies, and on the legal exemptions in PECR for strictly necessary cookies and certain low-risk cookies, such as those used only for statistics, security, software updates or remembering your preferences. Personal data collected through cookies is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, including your rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, and object.
3.7 Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we change the cookies we use or the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last updated. If we make a significant change, we will ask for your consent again where necessary.
