What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. Cookies allow a site to recognise your device on a return visit, remember preferences, measure traffic, and — for some cookies — show advertising tailored to your browsing history. Some technologies that work the same way, such as web beacons and local storage, are referred to as cookies on this page even when the underlying mechanism is different.
How LegalAITools.com uses cookies
The site uses three categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies that keep the site working, analytics cookies that help us understand how the site is used, and advertising cookies set by Google AdSense and its partners.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for basic site functionality, such as remembering whether you have dismissed a notice or which page you came from. They cannot be turned off via the site, but you can block them at the browser level — at the cost of reduced functionality.
Analytics cookies
The site uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies to measure visits, time on page, and similar usage metrics. The data is aggregated; we do not use it to identify individual readers. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites by installing the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising cookies
The site is supported by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve and measure ads, and — where you have consented — to personalise the ads you see based on your activity across the web. These cookies do not store information that directly identifies you, but they can be combined with other information held by the advertising provider.

How to manage cookies
In your browser
Every major browser lets you view stored cookies, delete them, and block them site-by-site or globally. Search your browser's help pages for "cookies" to find the controls. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site; blocking analytics or advertising cookies will not.
Opting out of personalised advertising
You can opt out of personalised advertising without blocking cookies entirely:
- Google Ad Settings — adjust the data Google uses to personalise your ads.
- YourOnlineChoices (Europe) — manage advertising cookies from multiple participating providers in one place.
- Digital Advertising Alliance — WebChoices (United States) — equivalent opt-out for participating providers.
Consent and the law
In jurisdictions where consent is required for non-essential cookies — including the UK, the European Economic Area, and several others — the site relies on consent collected at first visit (or implied where local rules permit). You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies set by this site in your browser or by using the opt-outs above.
Changes
This cookie policy is updated when our cookie practices change. The "last reviewed" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
