1. What these technologies are
Cookies, local storage, pixels, software development kits, and related technologies can store or read information on a device. They may support authentication, security, preferences, analytics, performance, and advertising.
2. Categories
Strictly necessary
Used for functions such as authentication, fraud prevention, security, load balancing, consent preferences, and core site operation. These technologies are limited to what is reasonably necessary for the requested service.
Preferences
Used to remember choices that are not strictly necessary to provide the requested service.
Analytics
Used, where enabled, to understand how visitors use the site and identify performance or usability issues.
Marketing
Used, where actually deployed, to measure campaigns, personalize advertising, or support retargeting.
3. Consent model
YourLegalAid uses an opt-in model for non-essential analytics, personalization, and marketing technologies where consent is required by applicable law or adopted as our privacy standard. Technologies that identify, locate, or profile an individual are assessed under applicable privacy law before activation. Consent must be meaningful and tied to the actual technology and purpose.
4. Current technology inventory
The public site's technology inventory is maintained against what is actually deployed. We do not list speculative analytics or advertising vendors. Authentication and contact-delivery providers are described in the Privacy Policy and Service Provider list where relevant.
5. Sensitive legal routes
Analytics and session-replay tools must not intentionally capture the contents of sensitive legal forms, uploaded documents, private AI conversations, immigration answers, passwords, or payment-card fields. Sensitive routes and fields must be excluded or masked before replay or behavioral analytics is enabled.
6. Managing preferences
Where non-essential technologies are enabled, users should be able to revisit the applicable preference interface and withdraw consent as easily as it was given. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal.
7. Browser privacy signals
Browser-level preference signals such as Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track are described as supported only if the production site actually detects the signal and changes processing accordingly.
8. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when technologies or providers used on the site change. Use the Contact page for privacy questions and the Legal Centre for related documents.
