Cookie Policy
This policy explains the limited use of cookies and similar technologies on lawyer.com.cy. We have designed the site so that optional analytics and the office map remain completely inactive until you choose to accept them.
Who is responsible?
Christophi & Associates LLC (the “Firm”, “we”, “us”) is responsible for this website and is the controller of personal data collected through it. Our registered office is at Chapo Central, 20 Spyrou Kyprianou Avenue, Office 201, 1075 Nicosia, Cyprus. You can contact us at office@lawyer.com.cy or +357 22 456 250.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser. Some cookies are essential to provide a service or remember a choice. Others, including analytics cookies and those used by embedded maps, are optional and require your consent.
Cookies used on this website
| Cookie | Provider and purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
christophi_cookie_consent | Set by us to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies (analytics and maps). It contains only a policy version and your choice. | 180 days | Strictly necessary |
__session | Set only after an authorised administrator signs in; protects the private content-management area. It is not used for public visitors or tracking. | Up to 14 days | Strictly necessary |
_ga | Set by Google Analytics after consent to distinguish visits using a randomly generated client identifier. | Up to 180 days | Analytics |
_ga_* | Set by Google Analytics after consent to maintain session state for our GA4 property. | Up to 180 days | Analytics |
| Cookies on Google domains | Only after consent or a click on Show map. Google may read or set cookies on its own domains when the office map on the contact page loads, under its own policies. | Set by Google | Maps |
Cookie duration is a maximum. You may remove cookies sooner through your browser or our Cookie settings control.
Google Analytics
If you consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate website use—for example, visited page paths, approximate location, browser and device type, and session statistics. Our page-view integration removes URL search parameters and does not send form contents, names, email addresses or telephone numbers to Analytics. Advertising personalisation and Google signals are disabled.
Google Analytics is supplied by Google. Google states that GA4 uses IP addresses at collection time to derive location and then discards them before data is logged. Information may nevertheless be processed by Google group companies and service providers outside the European Economic Area, subject to the safeguards described in Google’s terms and privacy documentation. See Google Business Data Responsibility and Google’s Privacy Policy.
Our legal basis for Analytics is your consent. Refusing it has no effect on access to the website. Because the Google script is not loaded before consent, no analytics request or cookieless measurement ping is sent when you reject or have not yet chosen.
Google Maps
Our contact page can display an interactive Google Maps view of our office. The map loads only if you have accepted optional cookies, or if you select Show map for that visit. Until then the page shows a static placeholder and no request is sent to Google.
When the map loads, your browser connects directly to Google, which receives your IP address and browser information and may read or set cookies on its own domains. Google processes this data under Google’s Privacy Policy and the Google Maps Terms of Service. The Open in Google Maps link sends data to Google only if you follow it.
Our legal basis for loading the map is your consent, given either through your cookie choice or by selecting Show map.
Website assets and third-party links
Site fonts are served locally. Photographs and media under our control are delivered through our own website address from our contracted storage provider. Apart from the office map described above, public media items link to third-party websites such as YouTube rather than embedding their players; those providers receive data only if you choose to follow the link, under their own policies.
How to change or withdraw your choice
Select Cookie settings in the footer at any time. Withdrawal is as easy as acceptance: Analytics is disabled immediately, accessible Google Analytics cookies for this site are deleted, and the office map is removed from the contact page. We cannot delete cookies that Google sets on its own domains; you can remove them in your browser settings. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the site from remembering your choice or administrators from signing in.
Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent. Contact us using the details above. You also have the right to complain to the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in Cyprus.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our cookies, providers or purposes change. If a change materially affects consent, the website will ask you to choose again.
