Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website function, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site’s owners. Our Site may use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies — required for the Site to function properly.
• Analytics cookies — set by Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors interact with the Site, so we can improve it.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings, and through the cookie consent tool on our Site. For more detail, please see our Cookie Policy.

Advertising and Google AdSense

Legal Sheets does not currently display third-party advertising. However, we intend to use third-party advertising services in the future, including Google AdSense. When advertising is introduced, the disclosures below will apply. We are providing this information in advance so you understand how advertising will work on the Site once it is enabled.

How Google’s advertising cookies will work

• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit, what pages they view, and what sites they used before arriving.
