When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of such information in accordance with our data retention policies and legal obligations.

This Cookie Policy explains how Alvan Liu & Partners (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on this Website.
In summary: we do not use cookies or similar technologies to track visitors to this Website, and there is nothing you are asked to consent to. The sections below set out what this means in practice and the limited circumstances in which cookies are used at all.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, mobile device or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function efficiently and can provide information to website owners about how visitors use their websites.
Cookies may be temporary (session cookies) or remain on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies).
We do not place any cookies on your device when you browse this Website.
We do not use advertising, marketing, profiling or cross-site tracking technologies. We do not embed third-party content — such as social media widgets, video players or maps — that would set cookies on our behalf. The typefaces used on this Website are served from our own infrastructure rather than from a third-party font service.
We measure how this Website is used through Vercel Web Analytics, provided by Vercel, Inc. This service is cookieless: it stores nothing on your device and does not assign you a persistent identifier.
It reports aggregated figures only, such as which pages are viewed, the website that referred you and your general country-level location. It does not enable us to identify individual visitors, and it does not follow you across other websites.
Because no information is stored on or read from your device, this measurement does not require your consent. This is why this Website does not display a cookie consent banner.
Our hosting provider, Vercel, Inc., records standard technical information about requests made to this Website, such as IP address, browser type and the page requested. These records are generated by the server rather than stored on your device, and are used to operate, maintain and secure the Website.
Images and other material managed in our content system are delivered by our content platform provider, and requests for those files are visible to that provider in the same way.
This Website includes a content management area used only by authorised personnel of the firm. Signing in there sets strictly necessary first-party cookies for the sole purpose of maintaining that sign-in session. These cookies are never set for ordinary visitors to the Website.
Because we set no cookies for visitors, there is nothing for you to disable. Most web browsers nevertheless allow you to block or delete cookies for any website through their settings, and doing so will not affect your use of this Website.
To the extent that any information described above constitutes personal data under applicable laws, including the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong, such information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy above.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology or our business practices. Any updates will be published on this page. If we begin using cookies or any technology that stores information on your device, we will update this policy and introduce the appropriate consent mechanism before doing so.
If you have any questions about these terms, our Privacy Policy or our use of cookies, please contact:
