Introduction

The Law School Hub (“The Law School Hub”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to support the operation, security, performance, and usability of our website.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they may be used on https://thelawschoolhub.com, what types of cookies or similar technologies may be involved, how users may manage them, and how cookie-related questions can be raised. The Law School Hub is primarily an Indian legal education and information platform. This Cookie Policy is therefore drafted with a primary focus on Indian law while recognising that the Website may also receive visitors from other jurisdictions.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

What Are Cookies?

Understanding Cookies

Cookies are small text files or similar identifiers that a website or third-party service may place on a user’s device when the user visits a website.

They can help a website remember information about a browsing session, recognise a returning browser, support technical functions, understand website usage, or remember certain preferences.

Cookies may be:

  • Session cookies, which generally operate during a browsing session and may expire when the session ends; or
  • Persistent cookies, which may remain on a device for a defined period.

A cookie does not necessarily identify a person by name. However, information associated with cookies may sometimes be combined with other information and may therefore constitute personal data depending on the circumstances.

The distinction between cookies and broader tracking technologies is also important. Some technologies can perform functions similar to cookies without technically being cookies.

How The Law School Hub May Use Cookies

Depending on the Website’s technical configuration, cookies and similar technologies may be used to:

  • Support essential Website functions;
  • Maintain security;
  • Prevent abuse, spam, or automated attacks;
  • Remember user preferences;
  • Improve Website functionality;
  • Understand Website traffic;
  • Measure content engagement;
  • Monitor performance;
  • Identify technical problems;
  • Improve the user experience;
  • Support embedded or third-party functionality; and
  • Support advertising or remarketing, where such technologies are actually implemented.

The exact cookies and technologies used by the Website may change over time. We therefore do not represent that every category described in this Policy is necessarily active at all times.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may support the basic operation, security, or functionality of the Website.

Depending on implementation, they may help with:

  • Website navigation;
  • Security;
  • Session management;
  • Form functionality;
  • Authentication, where applicable; and
  • Technical operation.

Where a cookie is genuinely necessary for the Website to provide a requested function, it may not require optional consent in every jurisdiction. The applicable legal requirements depend on the purpose of the cookie and the jurisdiction concerned.

Functional or Preference Cookies

Functional or preference cookies may help the Website remember settings or choices made by a visitor.

For example, they may support:

  • Language preferences;
  • Display preferences;
  • User-interface settings; or
  • Other Website preferences.

The actual use of such cookies depends on the features implemented on the Website.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Where analytics tools are implemented, analytics cookies or similar technologies may help us understand how visitors interact with the Website.

They may be used to understand information such as:

  • Number of visits;
  • Page views;
  • General traffic patterns;
  • Content engagement;
  • Referring sources;
  • Website performance;
  • User journeys; and
  • Technical problems.

Analytics information may be processed through third-party service providers where such providers are integrated into the Website.

The Law School Hub will not state that a particular analytics provider is used unless that provider has actually been implemented and verified.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising or targeting technologies may, where implemented, be used to:

  • Display advertisements;
  • Measure advertising effectiveness;
  • Understand advertising interactions;
  • Support remarketing; or
  • Provide more relevant promotional content.

The Law School Hub does not intend this Policy to represent that behavioural advertising, cross-site tracking, or targeted advertising is currently active unless it has been technically verified.

Where advertising or targeting technologies are introduced, the relevant privacy and consent requirements will be reviewed before implementation.

Security and Fraud-Prevention Technologies

Cookies or similar technologies may support Website security and abuse prevention.

Depending on implementation, they may help with:

  • Bot detection;
  • Spam prevention;
  • Security monitoring;
  • Fraud detection;
  • Authentication;
  • Rate limiting; and
  • Protection against malicious activity.

These technologies may operate differently from ordinary preference or analytics cookies.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies placed directly by The Law School Hub or by infrastructure operating on our behalf for Website purposes. Their use may include essential Website functions, preferences, security, or other Website operations.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are placed or accessed by external service providers whose technology may be integrated into the Website.

Depending on the Website’s actual configuration, third-party services could include providers involved in:

  • Analytics;
  • Embedded media;
  • Security;
  • Advertising;
  • Social-media functions;
  • Content delivery; or
  • Other technical services.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies and terms. The presence of a category in this Policy does not mean that every such third-party service is currently integrated into The Law School Hub.

Similar Technologies We May Use

Cookies are not the only technology that can collect or store information about Website use.

Depending on implementation, the Website or third-party services may use technologies such as:

a. Tracking Pixels and Web Beacons

Small pieces of code or invisible images that may help measure whether content has been viewed or interacted with.

b. Tags

Code elements that may send information to analytics, security, advertising, or other services.

c. Local Storage and Session Storage

Browser-based storage mechanisms that can retain information on a user’s device.

d. Software Development Kits

Third-party software components, particularly in applications or embedded services, that may perform functions similar to tracking technologies.

e. Device or Online Identifiers

Certain technologies may use identifiers associated with a browser or device. These technologies are not always technically classified as cookies but may raise similar privacy considerations.

Where implemented, cookies and similar technologies may support the following purposes:

a. Website Operations

Supporting essential Website functions and navigation.

b. Security

Protecting the Website from abuse, malicious traffic, automated attacks, and other security threats.

c. Performance

Understanding technical performance and identifying problems affecting the Website.

d. Analytics

Understanding general patterns of Website traffic and content engagement.

e. Preferences

Remembering choices made by users where such functionality exists.

f. Content Improvement

Using aggregated or otherwise appropriate information to understand which content is useful to visitors and improve the Website.

g. Advertising

Supporting advertising-related functionality only where such technologies are actually implemented.

h. Compliance and Auditing

Supporting appropriate technical records and compliance processes where necessary.

Whether consent is required for a particular cookie depends on factors including:

  • The purpose of the cookie;
  • Whether it is necessary for a requested service;
  • The jurisdiction of the user;
  • The applicable privacy or electronic-communications law; and
  • The technical implementation.

We therefore do not treat every cookie as requiring the same legal treatment.

Necessary and Optional Cookies

Cookies that are genuinely necessary for core Website functionality may be treated differently from optional analytics, preference, or advertising cookies. Where consent is legally required for optional cookies or similar technologies, an appropriate consent mechanism should be used.

Where appropriate and required, The Law School Hub may provide a cookie banner, preference centre, consent-management tool, or another mechanism allowing users to make relevant choices. The exact consent mechanism depends on the Website’s implementation.

This Policy does not itself constitute consent merely because a person has viewed or read it.

Where applicable, users may change or withdraw optional cookie consent through the Website’s cookie-control mechanism. Withdrawal of consent may not affect processing that was lawfully completed before withdrawal. Certain technologies may continue to operate where their use is legally permitted or necessary for essential Website functions.

How to Manage, Disable, or Delete Cookies

Users may be able to manage cookies through:

  • Website cookie controls, where available;
  • Browser settings;
  • Device settings; or
  • Third-party consent tools, where applicable.

Most modern browsers provide options to:

  • Accept cookies;
  • Reject cookies;
  • Delete existing cookies;
  • Block third-party cookies; or
  • Receive alerts when cookies are being used.

The exact settings differ between browsers and devices. Users should consult the relevant browser or device provider for current instructions.

What Happens if You Disable Cookies?

Blocking some cookies may not materially affect your ability to read the Website.

However, disabling certain necessary or functional cookies may affect:

  • Website functionality;
  • Preferences;
  • Forms;
  • Security features;
  • Navigation; or
  • Other interactive features.

Cookies may remain on a device for different periods depending on their purpose and technical configuration.

Session Cookies

These generally operate during the current browsing session and may expire when the session ends.

Persistent Cookies

These may remain on the device for a defined period established by the Website or the relevant third-party provider.

The actual lifetime of a cookie can depend on:

  • The purpose of the cookie;
  • The technical configuration;
  • The provider;
  • Browser settings; and
  • Other implementation factors.

We do not state specific cookie expiration periods unless the relevant cookie inventory has been technically verified.

Third-Party Services and External Content

The Law School Hub may use or embed third-party services where necessary for Website functionality or educational purposes.

Depending on actual implementation, these may include:

  • Analytics services;
  • Video or media platforms;
  • Social-media widgets;
  • Security services;
  • Content delivery services;
  • Embedded external resources;
  • Advertising technologies; and
  • Form or other Website tools.

Third-party services may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own practices. Before relying on any third-party privacy information, users should review the provider’s current privacy policy. The Law School Hub does not automatically control the technical practices of third parties.

Cookies and Personal Data

A cookie is not automatically personal data in every situation. However, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may become personal data where it can directly or indirectly identify an individual or is associated with information that identifies or can reasonably identify an individual.

Relevant information may include:

  • Cookie identifiers;
  • IP addresses;
  • Device information;
  • Online identifiers;
  • Browsing activity;
  • Website interaction data; and
  • Other information collected through associated technologies.

Accordingly, cookie-related processing may need to be considered together with the Website’s broader privacy and data-protection practices.

The legal treatment of cookies can depend on the technology used, the purpose of processing, and the jurisdiction concerned.

For The Law School Hub, the principal legal framework includes applicable Indian data-protection and technology law. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 establishes India’s statutory framework for the processing of digital personal data, subject to its commencement and applicable provisions. (India Code)

The Central Government notified the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 on 13 November 2025, with provisions subject to the phased commencement specified in the notification. The Information Technology Act, 2000 provides India’s broader statutory framework for electronic records and information-technology activities and may be relevant to particular aspects of Website operations. (India Code)

Constitutional privacy principles under Article 21 provide broader legal context for privacy in India, although the application of a particular privacy principle depends on the facts and applicable law.

International Visitors

Visitors from other jurisdictions may be subject to additional privacy or electronic-communications requirements depending on:

  • Where they are located;
  • The nature of the processing;
  • The services offered; and
  • Whether the relevant foreign law applies to the processing.

The Law School Hub does not represent that the GDPR, UK GDPR, ePrivacy rules, CCPA/CPRA, or another foreign framework automatically applies to every visitor.

Cookies and International Data Processing

Depending on the third-party services integrated into the Website, information associated with cookies or similar technologies may potentially be processed outside India.

Whether such cross-border processing occurs depends upon the actual technology stack and service providers in use.

Where international processing occurs, it should be managed in accordance with applicable law and the relevant provider arrangements.

We do not represent that all cookie-related information is stored exclusively in India unless this has been technically verified.

Privacy and Security

We aim to use reasonable safeguards to protect information processed through the Website.

Depending on the Website’s technical configuration, safeguards may include:

  • Access controls;
  • Security monitoring;
  • Secure hosting;
  • Authentication measures;
  • Malware protection;
  • Software updates;
  • Technical restrictions; and
  • Other reasonable security measures.

However, no Website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we do not claim that cookie-related information is protected by an absolute security guarantee.

Your Privacy Rights

Your rights in relation to information collected through cookies or similar technologies may depend on:

  • Your location;
  • The applicable law;
  • The type of information involved;
  • The purpose of processing; and
  • Whether the processing is based on consent or another legally recognised basis.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, privacy rights may include:

  • Access;
  • Correction;
  • Deletion or erasure;
  • Withdrawal of consent;
  • Grievance redressal;
  • Objection or restriction, where applicable; and
  • Other legally recognised rights.

Not every right listed above is necessarily available to every visitor in every circumstance. For example, the scope and commencement of rights under India’s DPDP framework depends on the provisions actually in force at the relevant time.

Children’s Privacy

The Law School Hub is an educational platform that may be accessed by students and young learners. We do not describe the Website as an adult-only platform.

The Website should not knowingly collect unnecessary personal information from children where doing so would violate applicable law. Where applicable Indian law imposes specific requirements concerning the processing of children’s personal data, those requirements should be followed according to the provisions and rules in force at the relevant time.

Parents or guardians who have concerns regarding cookie-related or other personal information relating to a child may contact us using the details below.

We may update this Cookie Policy when necessary to reflect:

  • Changes in the law;
  • Regulatory developments;
  • Changes in the Website;
  • New technologies;
  • Changes in cookies or tracking technologies;
  • Changes in third-party services;
  • Changes in consent mechanisms; or
  • Changes in our operational practices.

The updated version will be published on this page. The Last Updated date will be changed when a substantive revision is made.
