Last Updated: 14 April 2025
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Mali Legal website, and how you can manage your preferences. We keep our use of cookies to what is needed for the website to function and to understand how it is being used. We do not use cookies for advertising or for tracking across third-party sites.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember certain information — such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a particular notice — so that the site works more smoothly on your next visit.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your device for a defined period (persistent cookies). We use both types, as described below.

| PHPSESSID | Session cookie | Standard PHP session identifier — maintains state between page loads | Session |
2b. Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website — which pages are read most, where people tend to leave, and what referred them here. This allows us to improve the site over time. We use this information in aggregate only; we do not use analytics to identify individual visitors.

3. Third-Party Embeds
Our website includes an embedded Google Maps iframe to show our office location. Google may set its own cookies when the map loads. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by Google's own policies.
We do not use social media share buttons, embedded video players, or other third-party content that would introduce additional tracking cookies.
