Carvill & Johnson Solicitors Cookie Notice & Privacy Signals Review

A public review of visible cookie-policy information, privacy links and public data-collection journeys on the Carvill & Johnson Solicitors website.

Checked

27 June 2026

Review type

Public Visibility Check

Scope

Visible Public Signals

72out of 100

Strong public policy signposting; live settings need a current check

The public site provides prominent footer links to Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Complaints Procedure and Accessibility information. Its Cookie Policy records an update date of 13 May 2024 and describes functional, statistics and advertising or tracking categories. A useful next step is to confirm that the current policy, live banner wording, consent choices and technologies remain aligned in 2026.

Technical tag behaviour not tested

Privacy information

25 / 25

Privacy, cookie, terms, complaints and accessibility information were publicly signposted in the website footer.

Cookie choices

10 / 25

The published policy says permission is sought for some cookie categories; the current live banner controls were not tested.

Cookie information

15 / 15

A dedicated Cookie Policy identifies categories including functional, statistics and advertising or tracking cookies.

Form transparency

12 / 15

The public enquiry journey signposts visitors to a Website Enquiry Privacy Notice and Full Privacy Notice.

Choice persistence

10 / 20

A current preference or re-open route was not technically checked during this public visibility review.

Why the score is 72, not a compliance verdict
The score reflects the visible public evidence reviewed. It gives full credit for accessible privacy and cookie information, clear footer navigation and visible enquiry privacy signposting. Points are held back where the current live banner, available accept or reject choices, preference controls and technology behaviour were not technically checked. It is not a legal conclusion.
What was directly visible in this check
The public footer included links to Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Complaints Procedure and Accessibility information. The Cookie Policy stated it was last updated on 13 May 2024 and described functional cookies, statistics cookies, advertising cookies and marketing or tracking cookies. The public contact journey also referred visitors to a Website Enquiry Privacy Notice and Full Privacy Notice.
What this check did not test
This public check did not inspect browser storage, cookies, network requests, tag-manager settings, analytics, advertising pixels or Consent Mode behaviour. It did not determine which controls appear in the live banner, whether an immediate reject route is available, how settings may be revisited, or how technologies operate before and after a visitor selection.
Important: This is a Public Visibility & Transparency Score based on observed public evidence. It is not a GDPR, PECR, legal or formal compliance score, and it does not determine how scripts, cookies, pixels or tags operate in every consent state.

Review findings

Visible Consent and Privacy Signals

Cookie Notice

  • Dedicated Cookie Policy publicly available
  • Cookie categories described in the published policy
  • Policy says permission is sought for certain categories
  • Current banner wording was not technically reviewed
  • Current reject and settings routes were not technically reviewed

The policy describes consent for some cookie categories. This review does not determine whether the current live banner, buttons or settings journey operates consistently with that wording.

Privacy & Cookie Information

  • Footer links include Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy
  • Terms & Conditions, Complaints Procedure and Accessibility links also visible
  • Cookie Policy records an update date of 13 May 2024
  • Functional, statistics and advertising or tracking categories described
  • Google reCAPTCHA is listed in the published cookie information

The public documentation is well signposted. A current technical review would confirm that the policy details remain complete and accurately reflect the technologies used in 2026.

Public Data Collection

  • Public contact form identified
  • Name, address, email, telephone and message fields visible
  • Website Enquiry Privacy Notice linked
  • Full Privacy Notice linked
  • CAPTCHA shown within the public contact journey

This review does not assess backend handling, legal basis, data retention, access controls or the processing of client and case information.

What a Deeper Review Would Check

The public policy information is a useful starting point, but it does not establish how the website currently behaves. A technical review would create a clean-browser baseline and compare cookies, browser storage, network requests and visible changes before interaction, after acceptance and after any refusal or category selection available in the live consent journey.

As the Cookie Policy records a 2024 update date, a focused 2026 review would also compare the policy categories, banner wording and settings screen with the present cookie, analytics, CAPTCHA and advertising or tracking technologies found on the website.

Suggested technical scope

  • Clean-browser baseline
  • Cookie and browser-storage review
  • Network-request and tag-firing review
  • Banner and preference-centre check
  • Acceptance and rejection journey comparison
  • Cookie-policy versus live-site comparison
  • Developer-ready action list
