1. What Are Cookies
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 acknowledged a notice — during and across browsing sessions.
Cookies do not execute programmes and cannot carry viruses. They are not used by Garuda Advocates to identify you personally beyond what is described in this policy and our Privacy Policy.
2. How We Use Cookies

- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel: www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Microsoft Advertising: privacy.microsoft.com
This website also embeds a Google Maps iframe on the homepage to display our office location. Google may set cookies when that map is loaded if you have a Google account active in your browser. We have no control over those cookies. If this is a concern, you may wish to use your browser's incognito or private mode when viewing that page.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You may withdraw or update your cookie preferences at any time. There are several ways to do this:
Withdraw Consent via This Page
If you previously accepted optional cookies and would like to withdraw that consent, you may clear the relevant entries from your browser's local storage and reload the homepage. The cookie notice will reappear, allowing you to make a fresh selection.
Withdrawing consent will not affect any processing that took place prior to withdrawal.
Browser settings: All major browsers allow you to view, restrict, or delete cookies through their privacy or settings menus. Restricting essential cookies may affect how the website functions. Restricting analytics cookies will not affect your ability to read content or submit enquiries.
