Cookie Notice

Last updated: July 2026  ·  Version: 1.1

This notice explains how Dushyant’s Legal Services uses cookies and similar browser-based storage technologies on dushyantls.com.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser by a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly and to provide information to site owners. This website also uses browser local storage — a similar technology that stores data locally in your browser without sending it to the server.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential — Local Storage (Always Active)

We store two items in your browser’s local storage:

  • Key: dls_disclaimer_v2
  • Purpose: Records that you have acknowledged the mandatory Bar Council of India disclaimer, so it is not shown on every page visit.
  • Contains: The string "accepted" — no personal data.
  • Duration: Persists until you clear your browser’s local storage.
  • Transmitted to server: Never.
  • Key: dls_cookie_consent
  • Purpose: Records your choice (“accepted” or “declined”) from the cookie consent banner described below.
  • Contains: The string "accepted" or "declined" — no personal data.
  • Duration: Persists until you clear your browser’s local storage.
  • Transmitted to server: Never.

These storage items are strictly necessary for the site to function as required by BCI rules and to remember your cookie preference, and cannot be disabled without disabling JavaScript.

Analytics Cookies (Optional — Requires Your Consent)

On your first visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Google Analytics 4 is only loaded if you click “Accept” — if you click “Decline”, or take no action, it is never loaded. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymised, aggregate data about how visitors use the website. IP anonymisation is applied.

Once accepted, Google may set cookies including _ga, _ga_*, and related identifiers. These persist for up to 2 years. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing the dls_cookie_consent local storage entry (see below) and declining on your next visit. For more, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

Third-Party — Google Maps

The contact section of this website embeds a Google Maps iframe. When loaded, Google may set its own cookies pursuant to Google’s Privacy Policy. We have no control over these cookies.

3. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete cookies and local storage data.
  • Block third-party cookies.
  • Set preferences per website.

To clear a saved preference: open your browser’s developer tools → Application → Local Storage → delete the entry dls_disclaimer_v2 (disclaimer) or dls_cookie_consent (cookie choice).
