About this Policy
This Cookie Policy (the "Policy") sets out the principles applied by Taurus Legal Group Limited ("TLG", "we", "us" or "our"), a private company limited by shares incorporated in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region under Business Registration No. 71605562, with its registered office at 16/F, Wah Hen Commercial Centre, 381–383 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, to the use of cookies and similar technologies on the website www.tauruslg.com and any associated subdomain, mobile version, or landing page (together, the "Website").
This Policy is one of the documents governing the relationship between TLG and visitors of the Website, and forms an integral part of the terms of use of the Website, together with our General Terms of Engagement and Service Provision and our Data Processing and Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Website Policies").
By visiting, browsing, or otherwise interacting with the Website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted this Policy and the other Website Policies in their entirety, and that you do not raise — and waive any present or future right to raise — any claim, demand, or objection in relation to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described herein. If you do not agree with any provision of this Policy, you should refrain from using the Website or adjust your browser and device settings to block cookies before continuing.
This Policy takes effect on 9 June 2025 and supersedes any earlier version. We may update it at any time in line with our operational needs and the law applicable to our activities. The version published on the Website at the time of your visit is the version that applies to that visit.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or any other device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, remember information about your visit, and collect statistical or technical information about how the website is used.
In this Policy the term "cookies" covers not only cookies in the strict technical sense but also any comparable technology used for similar purposes, including without limitation web beacons, pixel tags, local and session storage, IndexedDB entries, software development kits, server-side identifiers, and device or browser fingerprinting techniques. All such technologies are treated identically under this Policy regardless of their technical implementation or the provider that operates them.
2.1 Duration- Session cookies — temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it.
- Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a defined period or until they are manually deleted, and allow the Website to recognise you on subsequent visits.
- First-party cookies — set directly through the domain tauruslg.com.
- Third-party cookies — set by service providers and platforms whose tools or content are integrated into the Website. The specific identity, location, and number of such providers may vary over time in line with our operational needs and the technologies available on the market.
Categories of Cookies Used
Regardless of the specific tool or provider that implements them, all cookies used on the Website fall into one of the four categories below. The categorisation determines the legal basis on which each cookie is set and the choices available to you.
3.1 Strictly necessary cookiesThese cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They allow you to navigate between pages, submit forms, maintain a secure session, recognise the language and region of your device, and access protected areas. Because they are necessary for the provision of a service explicitly requested by you, these cookies do not require your consent and cannot be refused through the cookie banner. You may still block them through your browser settings, in which case parts of the Website may become unavailable or behave incorrectly.
3.2 Functional cookiesThese cookies enable additional features that improve the usability of the Website, such as remembering your preferences, display settings, recently viewed pages, dismissed notifications, and similar non-essential conveniences.
3.3 Analytics and performance cookiesThese cookies collect aggregated and, where reasonably practicable, pseudonymised information about how visitors interact with the Website. This may include pages visited and the time spent on them, the device, operating system, and browser used, the approximate geographic origin of the connection inferred from technical metadata, the referring source, and the navigation path. The resulting reports are used internally to monitor the performance of the Website, identify usability issues, and improve the structure, content, and security of the Website. Analytics may be carried out using one or several internal or external tools, which may change from time to time.
3.4 Marketing and audience cookiesThese cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our communications, to deliver content of interest to visitors, and, where applicable, to build audiences for our promotional activities. They typically rely on identifiers that may be shared with the platforms operating the relevant tools.
Overview of Categories
The table below summarises the categories of cookies described above. The cookie preferences interface accessible from the footer of the Website at any time reflects the categories actually in operation at the moment of your visit and allows you to manage your choices.
| Category | Legal basis | Purpose | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Legitimate interest / service requested by the user | Ensure that the Website is delivered securely and functions as intended; remember the choices you make in the cookie banner. | No |
| Functional | Consent | Remember preferences such as language, region, display options, and similar non-essential settings to improve the usability of the Website. | Yes |
| Analytics and performance | Consent / legitimate interest (where permitted by applicable law) | Generate aggregated statistics and technical reports on the use of the Website for internal monitoring and improvement. | Yes |
| Marketing and audience | Consent | Measure the effectiveness of communications, deliver content of interest, and support promotional activities. | Yes |
The specific cookies actually set on your device at any given moment, including their technical names and retention periods, are listed in the cookie preferences interface available through the cookie banner and through the link in the footer of every page of the Website. We reserve the right to add, replace, or remove individual cookies and the tools that set them, provided that the resulting processing remains within the categories described above.
Legal Framework and Consent
TLG uses cookies in accordance with the law applicable to its activities, including in particular the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong (PDPO) and, where applicable to a specific visitor, the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the UK General Data Protection Regulation, and any other data-protection or electronic-communications legislation of comparable scope.
Strictly necessary cookies are set without your prior consent on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website, which is recognised as a lawful basis under the legislation referred to above. Functional, analytics, and marketing cookies are set, where the law so requires, only with your prior, freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, expressed through the cookie banner displayed on your first visit to the Website and adjustable at any time via the preferences interface.
Consent given through the banner is recorded together with a timestamp and the precise version of the cookie configuration in force at the moment of the choice. This evidence is retained for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with applicable data-protection law and may be produced to competent authorities upon a lawful request.
You acknowledge that the use of cookies on the Website is necessary, lawful, and proportionate, and you agree not to raise any claim against TLG arising solely from the use of cookies in accordance with this Policy, save where mandatory provisions of the law applicable to a specific visitor expressly preserve such a right.
Managing Your Preferences
You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time and at no cost using either of the following means.
6.1 Cookie preferences interfaceA link to the cookie preferences interface is available at the bottom of every page of the Website. The interface lists each category of cookies other than strictly necessary cookies, explains its purpose, and allows you to enable or disable it through a clearly labelled control. Changes take effect immediately and apply prospectively to your continued use of the Website.
6.2 Browser and device settingsAll modern web browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies stored on your device, to refuse cookies from specific websites or from all websites, and to clear local storage and similar identifiers. The exact procedure varies between browsers and operating systems; the relevant settings are typically located under menus such as "Privacy", "Security", or "Site settings". The official help pages of the browser or device manufacturer provide detailed instructions.
Many browsers and operating systems also offer global privacy controls such as "Do Not Track" signals or comparable mechanisms. Where the law applicable to your visit makes such signals binding, we honour them; otherwise, the cookie banner and the preferences interface remain the primary means of expressing your choices.
6.3 Consequences of refusalRefusing functional, analytics, or marketing cookies will not prevent you from accessing the substantive content of the Website. Certain personalised features and embedded third-party content may, however, be unavailable, behave less smoothly, or require additional confirmation steps. TLG accepts no liability for any inconvenience arising from your choice to disable non-essential cookies or to block cookies at the browser level.
Third Parties and International Transfers
Some cookies are set by service providers and platforms whose tools are integrated into the Website. Such providers may act as independent data controllers in respect of the data they collect through their cookies, or as our processors under contractual data-processing terms. The processing carried out by independent controllers is governed by their own privacy policies and is outside the scope of this Policy. TLG accepts no liability for the practices of such independent controllers, beyond the duty to select reputable providers and to require contractual compliance where they act on our behalf.
Where the use of a cookie or similar technology results in the transfer of personal data outside Hong Kong, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, such transfer is supported by safeguards appropriate to the applicable legal framework, as further described in our Data Processing and Privacy Policy. By using the Website you acknowledge that such transfers may occur and agree to them, to the extent that such acknowledgment is required by the law applicable to you.
We review the cookies and tools used on the Website at reasonable intervals and replace or remove those that no longer meet our standards for security, transparency, or legal compliance.
Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. TLG makes no representation and gives no warranty, whether express or implied, as to the uninterrupted availability of the Website, the accuracy of its content, the absence of errors or harmful components, or the compatibility of the Website with any specific browser, device, or configuration.
To the maximum extent permitted by the law applicable to you, TLG shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive loss or damage arising out of or in connection with: (a) the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy; (b) the use of any third-party tool, platform, or service whose cookies may be set through the Website; (c) any unauthorised access to or interception of data transmitted between your device and the Website by reason of factors outside TLG's reasonable control; or (d) any decision taken by you on the basis of content available on the Website. By using the Website you confirm that you do not have, and will not raise, any claim against TLG in respect of the matters referred to in this clause, save where mandatory provisions of the applicable law expressly preserve such a right.
Nothing in this Policy is intended to exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law applicable to you.

Changes to this Policy
We may amend this Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technical, or legal developments. The current version is identified by the edition date printed on the cover page and is published on the Website.

Continued use of the Website after the publication of an updated version constitutes acknowledgment of the updated Policy, to the extent permitted by the law applicable to you.
