Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you return to the site or browse from one page to another.
Under Spanish law (LSSI-CE) and the EU ePrivacy Directive, we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Essential cookies required for the Service to function are exempt from the consent requirement.
2. Cookies We Use
| Cookie name | Provider | Category | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__session | Clerk | Essential | Session | Maintains your authenticated session. Required for login to work. Cannot be disabled. |
__client | Clerk | Essential | 1 year | Identifies the browser for Clerk’s authentication flow. Required for login to work. Cannot be disabled. |
counsel-cookie-consent | Counsel | Essential | 1 year | Stores your cookie consent preference so we do not ask again on every visit. |
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They include:
- Authentication cookies (set by Clerk): these cookies are required to keep you logged in. Without them, you would need to log in on every page. They do not track your activity outside of Counsel.
- Preference cookies (set by Counsel): these store functional preferences such as your cookie consent choice.
Essential cookies are set automatically and cannot be disabled without making the Service non-functional. No consent is required for these cookies under LSSI-CE.
4. Analytics Cookies
We do not currently use analytics cookies. We may introduce optional, consent-gated product analytics in a future release. If we do, this policy will be updated before any analytics cookies are set, and you will be asked for consent at that time.
We do not use any marketing cookies, advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking cookies.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
- Cookie banner: clear your
counsel-cookie-consentcookie from your browser settings to re-trigger the consent banner on your next visit. - Browser settings: you can block or delete all cookies via your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in.
- Contact: email us at legal@mycounsels.com to request manual opt-out from analytics.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Clerk (our authentication provider) sets cookies on the accounts.mycounsels.comsubdomain as part of their authentication infrastructure. Clerk’s use of cookies is governed by their own Privacy Policy.
No third-party analytics or tracking cookies are set.
