Cookie Policy
This page explains how Bestari Legal Counsel uses cookies and similar technologies on this website — what they are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We have kept this explanation as straightforward as possible.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device — computer, tablet, or phone — when you visit. They are widely used to make websites function as intended and to provide information to the site's owner about how visitors use the site.
Cookies are not programs; they cannot run code or install anything on your device. They simply store small pieces of information that can be read back when you return to the same website.
You have the right to choose which optional cookies you allow. Essential cookies — those required for the website to function — are always active. All others require your consent.
2. Cookie Types We Use
Essential Cookies
Always active — cannot be disabledThese cookies are necessary for the website to work. They enable core functions such as page navigation and storing your cookie consent preference. Without them, the website cannot function as intended.
Examples: Cookie consent record, session security tokens
Duration: Session or up to 12 months (consent record)
Set by: Bestari website
Analytics Cookies
Optional — enabled by defaultThese cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter any difficulties. The data is used in aggregate and does not identify individual visitors.
Examples: Page views, session duration, entry and exit pages
Duration: Up to 24 months
Set by: Google Analytics (analytics.google.com)
Marketing Cookies
Optional — disabled by defaultThese cookies track visitors across websites to allow us to understand which channels bring people to our site. They are used to measure the general reach of our online presence, not to target you with advertising.
Examples: Referral source tracking, general campaign measurement

Set by: Third-party measurement services
Preference Cookies
Optional — disabled by defaultThese cookies remember settings and choices you have made when visiting the website, so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
Examples: Language or region settings, display preferences
Duration: Up to 12 months
Set by: Bestari website
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services rather than by us. These include:
- Google Analytics — used with your consent to understand website usage patterns in aggregate form.
- Google Maps — our office location is embedded using Google Maps, which may set functional cookies to display the map correctly.
We do not use advertising networks or social media tracking on this website. Third-party services each operate under their own privacy policies; we encourage you to review these where relevant.

5. Cookie Duration
Cookies fall into two broad duration categories:
Session Cookies
Exist only for the duration of your visit and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are used for functions that only need to work while you are actively on the site.
Persistent Cookies
Remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them. Durations vary — our cookie consent record is stored for up to 12 months; analytics cookies may persist for up to 24 months.
