Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that are saved on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device upon subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and function correctly. In addition to cookies, similar technologies may be used (such as local browser storage and tracking pixels), to which this Policy applies accordingly.

This Policy aims to present what cookies the website of Ivanova Dimitrova Law Firm uses, for what purpose, and how you can manage their use. It is an integral part of the firm’s Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

2. Why we use cookies

The firm uses cookies to:

ensure the correct and secure functioning of the website;
remember your preferences and settings (e.g., language);
analyze how the site is used in order to improve it;
where consent is given — to measure the effectiveness of content and campaigns.

3. Types of cookies

3.1. By purpose

Strictly necessary (mandatory) cookies. These are required for the basic functioning of the page and cannot be switched off through our settings. They do not require consent, as the site would not work correctly without them.
Functional cookies. These allow the site to remember choices you have made and provide enhanced features and personalization.
Analytical cookies. These collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site and help us improve it.
Marketing cookies. These are used to measure and target content; they are placed only with explicit consent.

3.2. By duration

Session cookies — these exist only while the browser is open and are deleted when it is closed.
Persistent cookies — these remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

3.3. By origin

First-party cookies — placed by the domain of our website.
Third-party cookies — placed by service providers used on the site (e.g., analytical tools).

5. Third-party cookies

The website may use third-party services that place their own cookies (e.g., web analysis tools, embedded content, or social networks). These third parties process data according to their own privacy policies, over which the firm has no control. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the policies of the respective providers.

6. Cookie consent

Upon your first visit to the site, you are provided with information about the cookies used and the opportunity to give or refuse consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary. Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent, as the site would not function without them. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie settings on the page [or: through your browser settings]. Non-strictly necessary cookies are placed only after your prior consent, expressed through an active action (without pre-ticked boxes). This processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 4a of the Electronic Commerce Act and Art. 6 and Art. 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

7. Managing and deleting cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that browser settings manage cookies in general and do not replace consent — for non-strictly necessary cookies, the choice is made via the consent banner on the page. Below are links to instructions for the most commonly used browsers:

Important: if you disable or delete certain cookies, some functions of the page may not work correctly or may be inaccessible. Deleting cookies does not lead to the erasure of data already collected through them — for this, you can exercise your rights according to the Privacy Policy.

8. Personal data

To the extent that personal data (e.g., IP address) is processed through cookies, this processing is carried out under the conditions and with the rights described in the firm’s Privacy Policy, which should be read together with this Policy.
