Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 April 2026 · Crane Counsel
This Cookie Policy explains how Crane Counsel uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. You can update your cookie preferences at any time using the preference panel below.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve a range of purposes — from keeping the site functioning correctly, to helping us understand how it is being used. Cookies do not give us access to your device or any information beyond what they store.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in three categories. Strictly necessary cookies are always active; the others are used only with your consent.
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, form submission security, and storing your cookie consent preference. They cannot be disabled without affecting how the site operates.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cc_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
| PHPSESSID | Session management for form handling | Session |
| csrf_token | Protects contact form submissions against cross-site request forgery | Session |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are viewed most, how long visitors spend on the site, and where they arrive from. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individuals. We use Google Analytics for this purpose.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique visitors (Google Analytics) | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users for a 24-hour reporting period | 24 hours |
| _gat | Throttles request rate for Google Analytics | 1 minute |
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience — for example, retaining your region or language preference if we offer such options. They do not track your browsing on other websites.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cc_pref_lang | Retains language or display preferences if set | 12 months |
3. Manage Your Preferences
You can update your cookie preferences at any time below. Changes take effect from your next page load. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.
Strictly Necessary
Required for the site to function correctly. Always active.
Analytics
Help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
Functional
Remember your preferences for a more consistent experience.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Where we use third-party services that place cookies — such as Google Analytics — those providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies. We have selected these providers on the basis of their data protection standards, and we have configured them to anonymise IP addresses where possible. You may also opt out directly via Google's opt-out tools at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. Browser-Level Controls
All major browsers allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies independently of this preference panel. If you block cookies at the browser level, some features of this website may not function as intended. Your browser's help documentation will explain how to access these controls. Common browsers:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes or as requirements evolve. The most current version will always be available on this page. Where changes are material, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
