Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy

Last updated: 4 July 2026

This Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explains how Polit Law Ltd (“Polit Law Ltd”, “we”, “us” and “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects personal data through www.politlawltd.co.uk. Polit Law Ltd is based in England, and this policy is written to reflect applicable UK data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).

1. Who is responsible for your data

Polit Law Ltd is the controller of personal data collected through this website.

Business address: 170 Greenford Road, Harrow, HA1 3QX, United Kingdom.

Telephone: +44 7494 668164.

If you have any questions about this policy or about how your personal data is handled, you can contact Polit Law Ltd using the contact details published on the website.

2. What personal data may be collected

Depending on how you use the website, Polit Law Ltd may collect and process:

  • your name;

  • your email address;

  • your telephone number;

  • any personal data or other information you choose to include in a contact form message;

  • technical information such as your IP address, browser type, time zone, device type, operating system and referring pages;

  • information about how you use the website, including pages viewed, interactions, and approximate location data derived from IP address or device signals; and

  • information collected through cookies and similar technologies, including analytics, advertising and security-related technologies.

The website also appears to use Google reCAPTCHA on parts of the site, and Google’s own privacy terms apply where that service is active.

3. How personal data is used

Polit Law Ltd uses personal data to:

  • respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form;

  • contact you in relation to your enquiry;

  • operate, secure and maintain the website;

  • understand how visitors use the website;

  • improve website functionality, content and user experience;

  • measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;

  • manage and optimise advertising through platforms such as Google Ads and Meta Ads; and

  • comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

Where you submit information through the contact form, that information is used only for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and making contact in relation to that enquiry, unless a further legal basis applies.

4. Lawful bases for processing

Under UK GDPR, Polit Law Ltd must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. Depending on the circumstances, the lawful basis may include:

  • Consent, where you consent to non-essential cookies, advertising cookies, analytics cookies or other optional tracking technologies.

  • Legitimate interests, where processing is necessary to run, secure and improve the website, handle enquiries efficiently, or administer business operations, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

  • Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, where you contact Polit Law Ltd to request information, assistance or services.

  • Compliance with a legal obligation, where Polit Law Ltd is required to process or retain information under applicable law.

For non-essential cookies and similar technologies, consent is the primary basis required under PECR before those technologies are placed on your device.

5. Contact form

If you complete the website contact form, Polit Law Ltd will use the information you provide only to respond to your enquiry and contact you about that matter. Your contact form data will not be used for unrelated marketing solely because you submitted the form.

Please do not include sensitive or excessive personal data in your first message unless it is necessary for the enquiry.

6. Sharing personal data

Polit Law Ltd may share personal data where necessary with:

  • website hosting, maintenance and IT support providers;

  • email and communications service providers;

  • cookie consent platform providers;

  • analytics and advertising providers, including Google and Meta, where relevant technologies are enabled and valid consent has been given; and

  • courts, regulators, law enforcement agencies, insurers or professional advisers where disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Where third-party cookies are used, website operators are expected to tell users clearly who those third parties are and what they do with the information.

7. International transfers

Some service providers used for analytics, advertising, spam prevention, hosting or communications may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where this happens, Polit Law Ltd should ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual mechanisms, as required under UK data protection law.

8. Data retention

Polit Law Ltd keeps personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, including to answer enquiries, keep appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes.

Contact form data should be retained only for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry and any directly related follow-up. Cookie-related data retention may vary depending on the provider, the type of technology used and your consent choices.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal data;

  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;

  • request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances;

  • request restriction of processing;

  • object to certain processing activities;

  • withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent;

  • request portability of certain personal data; and

  • complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully.

You can exercise these rights by contacting Polit Law Ltd using the contact details available on the website.

10. Data security

Polit Law Ltd should take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, damage, misuse or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Cookie Policy

This section explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the website, what they do, and how you can manage them.

11.1 What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies can include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage objects and comparable tools that store or access information on your device or browser.

11.2 Why cookies are used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

  • make the website work properly;

  • remember user preferences;

  • maintain security and help prevent spam or abuse;

  • understand how visitors use the website;

  • measure site performance and improve services;

  • measure advertising performance, conversions and campaign effectiveness; and

  • support advertising and remarketing through providers such as Google Ads and Meta Ads, where enabled and permitted.

11.3 Categories of cookies used

The website may use the following categories of cookies or similar technologies:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for core website functions, security, page navigation, form submission, fraud prevention, and the delivery of services requested by the user. Consent is not generally required for cookies that are strictly necessary within the meaning of PECR.

Examples may include:

  • security or session cookies;

  • load-balancing cookies;

  • cookies needed to remember privacy settings where that is necessary for the service; and

  • tools used to protect forms or prevent abuse, such as reCAPTCHA-related technologies where applicable.

Analytics cookies

These cookies help website operators understand how visitors use the website, for example by recording visits, traffic sources, page interactions and usage patterns. Under current ICO guidance, analytics cookies are treated as non-essential and should not be set unless the user has given valid consent.

Advertising and marketing cookies

These cookies or similar technologies may be used to support Google Ads and Meta Ads activities, such as ad measurement, conversion tracking, remarketing, audience building, and the delivery or optimisation of advertising. Online advertising cookies are non-essential and require prior consent under PECR.

Preference or functionality cookies

These cookies may remember user choices or improve the website experience. Whether consent is required depends on whether the cookie is strictly necessary for the service requested by the user or simply helpful or convenient.

11.4 Google Ads and Meta Ads

The website uses or intends to use cookies and similar technologies connected with Google Ads and Meta Ads. These technologies may collect information about website visits, interactions, page views, referrals, browser or device identifiers, and conversion events in order to measure campaign performance, understand audiences and improve advertising effectiveness.

Where these technologies are non-essential, they should not be activated until the visitor has given clear, affirmative consent. Legitimate interests cannot be relied on as a substitute for consent for advertising and marketing cookies that fall within PECR.

11.5 Consent to cookies

Under PECR and ICO guidance, users must be told clearly what cookies are used, what they do, and whether any third parties are involved. Users must take a clear positive action to consent to non-essential cookies, and those cookies must not be set before consent is obtained.

Valid consent means, among other things:

  • no implied consent from continued browsing;

  • no pre-ticked boxes or default “on” settings for non-essential cookies;

  • no bundling cookie consent into general terms or privacy text alone;

  • no unfair emphasis on “Accept” over “Reject”; and

  • a genuine choice, including the ability to refuse non-essential cookies.

11.6 Managing cookies

You can manage cookies through the cookie banner or cookie settings tool made available on the website. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.

If a consent tool is used, it should allow users to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies by category, and to change their preferences later.

11.7 Third-party cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third parties, such as Google or Meta, when their services are integrated into the website. These third parties may use the collected information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Where third-party cookies are used, the website should identify the relevant third parties clearly and explain their role in the processing.

11.8 Cookie retention

Different cookies remain on your device for different periods. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser, while others remain for a set period or until deleted manually. Retention depends on the purpose of the cookie, the settings used by the provider and your consent choices.

12. Third-party services

The website may use third-party services including:

  • Google services, including Google Ads and Google reCAPTCHA;

  • Meta Ads-related technologies; and

  • website analytics, hosting, security and communications tools.

These providers may process technical and personal data under their own terms and privacy notices.

13. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to legal requirements, website functionality, service providers or advertising technologies. The current version should always be made available on the website.
