Information about our use of cookies

This Notice describes how we, at Dentons Group (a Swiss Verein) and our affiliates, associate office, facility, associate firm, or entity with a special alliance with our international legal practice) use cookies and similar technologies on our websites and through our online services and how to contact us with any questions concerning this Notice. See the list of Dentons entities and locations worldwide.

This Notice applies to any Dentons website, apps or service that link to it or incorporate it by reference. For any personal information collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies, our Privacy Notice also applies and complements this Notice.

You can manage your consent preferences at any time to accept or reject the use of various categories of cookies, which are not strictly necessary, through our Cookie Consent Manager. If you disable cookies and similar technologies, however, some features may not work as intended.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that websites that you visit ask your browser to store on your device (such as your computer or smartphone) in order to remember information about you, your preferences (such as your language of choice) or your device information, when you return to it. 'Similar technologies' falling under the generic term 'cookies' also include local objects (sometimes called flash cookies), web beacons, pixels, browser fingerprinting technologies or any technology that stores or accesses information on the user's device. This information does not usually allow us to identify you, but it can offer you a better user experience when visiting websites (including ours).

What cookies do we use?

The types of cookies we use are listed below and fall under two categories, strictly necessary and optional. This means that what cookies we place when you visit our Dentons websites or apps will depend on your choices.

We use both first and third party cookies. Any cookies that are set by the website or apps that you are visiting are called first-party cookies, whilst any cookies which are from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting are called third party cookies. These cookies are placed by someone other than us. An example of this is when we embed a YouTube video. A list of third party organizations and their respective cookies and processing purposes can be found and managed in our Cookie Consent Manager.

Some cookies are deleted once you close your internet browser ('session cookies'). 'Persistent cookies' on the other hand stay on your browser for a longer period and are not deleted once you close it, so for example a website you revisit remembers your language of choice. The tables below contain details on the lifespan of the cookies we use.
