1. Scope. This policy explains cookies and similar technologies in the context of the LawAid Inc. website.
2. Current website setup. The current static website package uses session storage to remember a visitor’s cookie-banner choice.
3. Session storage. Session storage is browser storage that generally lasts for the active tab session; it is not itself a browser cookie.
4. Current trackers. This website does not currently use analytics or advertising trackers.
5. Future changes. If analytics, advertising, chat, video or other third-party technologies are added, this policy and any required consent controls should be updated before activation.
6. What cookies are. Cookies are small text files that websites may store in a browser or device.
7. Similar technologies. Pixels, local storage, session storage, SDKs and similar tools can also store or access information on a device.
8. Essential functions. Some technologies may be necessary for security, network management or a feature expressly requested by a visitor.
9. Preference technologies. Preference tools can remember choices such as language, display settings or a consent preference.
10. Analytics technologies. Analytics tools, if later enabled, may measure page visits, performance and aggregate usage.

15. Reject option. Where required by law, visitors should be able to reject non-essential technologies as easily as they can accept them.
16. Choice quality. Consent should be informed, specific, freely given and capable of withdrawal where consent is the legal basis.
17. No deceptive design. Cookie controls should not use misleading labels or pressure visitors to accept optional technologies.
18. Cookie categories. If categories are used, their purpose should be explained in plain language.
19. Cookie inventory. If cookies are introduced, the live policy should identify each relevant cookie or technology, its provider and purpose where required.
20. Duration. Where required, the policy should explain whether each cookie or technology is session-based or persistent and its duration.
21. First-party tools. First-party technologies are set or controlled by the website domain.

25. Browser controls. Most browsers allow users to block, delete or restrict cookies through browser settings.
26. Effect of blocking. Blocking essential technologies may affect website functions that depend on them.
27. Private browsing. Private browsing modes may remove stored preferences when the session ends.
28. Separate devices. Choices stored in a browser may not automatically apply to another browser or device.
29. Mobile browsers. The current preference storage may behave differently across browser modes and should be checked on supported devices.
30. Session preferences. The current banner preference is stored in session storage and may need to be selected again in a later session.
31. Preference withdrawal. If a full consent manager is introduced, it should provide an accessible way to revisit and withdraw optional consent.
32. Consent records. Consent records should be retained where required to demonstrate compliance with applicable law.
33. Data minimization. Technologies should be configured to avoid collecting personal information that is unnecessary for their stated purpose.
34. Analytics configuration. Analytics tools, if introduced, should be configured with appropriate privacy and retention settings.
