1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Qanooni L.L.C. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on qanoonihq.com and within the Qanooni platform. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which covers our broader data practices.
Qanooni is a professional tool used by legal practitioners, and we limit our use of tracking technologies to what is necessary to operate the platform reliably and to understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. They allow us to recognise your session, remember preferences, and measure how the platform is being used. We also use related browser-side technologies including local storage for session state and banner dismissal records.
3. How We Use Cookies
| Category | Purpose and examples | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication session token, CSRF protection, and the cookie-banner dismissal record stored in local storage. These are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. | Session to 12 months |
| Preferences | Interface settings such as jurisdiction filter selection and query history display preferences, stored so they persist across sessions. | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Anonymised usage signals used to measure feature adoption, query performance, and navigation patterns. Data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use self-hosted or privacy-respecting analytics only. | Up to 13 months |
| Marketing | Not currently used on qanoonihq.com. | Not applicable |
4. Notice and Choice
The Qanooni platform operates under a notice-only cookie model. Non-essential cookies may be active when you use the site. A banner on your first visit notifies you of this practice. By continuing to use the Service after seeing the notice, you acknowledge our use of cookies as described above.
You can opt out of analytics cookies at any time by using your browser's cookie controls or by using the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer to reopen the notice. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from logging in to the platform.
5. Global Privacy Control
We respect the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser transmits a GPC opt-out signal, we will suppress the initialisation of analytics on that session, regardless of any prior acknowledgement. This is consistent with our position that users should not need to take active steps to prevent data collection beyond what is strictly necessary to operate the service.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on qanoonihq.com may be set by third-party service providers acting on our behalf, such as our analytics provider. We hold data processing agreements with each provider restricting their use of collected data to the purposes we have specified. We do not permit third parties to use cookies on our platform for their own advertising or tracking purposes.
7. Managing Cookies
- Use the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer to revisit the notice and opt out of analytics.
- Your browser's privacy or settings menu allows you to block or delete cookies for specific sites. Clearing cookies will reset your session, and you will need to log in again. For guidance on browser controls, see aboutcookies.org.
- Some mobile operating systems provide system-level controls over device advertising identifiers that may affect certain tracking technologies if used on mobile.
8. Changes and Contact
We will update this Cookie Policy if our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
