At Freemans Lawfirm (“we”, “us”, “our”), we jointly manage and control the operation of our website, www.freemanslawfirm.com, along with its associated sites (“Website”). We are committed to respecting the privacy of all visitors to our Website. For more details about our privacy practices and how we handle personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
This policy outlines our use of cookies in conjunction with other tracking technologies such as pixels, local storage objects, and similar devices (collectively referred to as “Cookies”). These technologies are employed by us or our authorized service providers to ensure the efficient and effective operation of our Website. In this policy, we explain how Cookies are used, when your consent is required, and how they contribute to your experience on the Website. Additionally, we provide information on how you can exercise your rights with regard to the use of Cookies.
Cookies are small data files placed on a visitor’s device browser when they access online content, allowing us to recognize that device during future interactions with or visits to our Website. These cookies enhance the user experience by helping us monitor which content is most useful to visitors, as well as remembering user preferences such as language settings or font size for a more personalized experience.
There are several types of Cookies:
- Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and only last for the duration of your session on our Website. They expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period, as specified in the cookie. They are activated each time you return to the Website that created them.
- First-Party Cookies: These are cookies served directly from our Website (“Freemans Lawfirm”).
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies served from a different site than the one you are currently visiting, often used for advertising or analytics purposes.
Cookies and similar technologies utilize unique codes that serve as identifiers and may be classified as “personal data” under European data protection laws. This is because these identifiers allow for the recognition of a device’s user as the same individual, even if their actual identity is not known. Typically, cookies are used alongside other identifiers, such as your device’s IP address. This address is automatically assigned by your internet service provider and shared when online content is requested and displayed. IP addresses may be logged automatically in our server log files whenever our website, applications, or online content are accessed, and can be linked with Cookies unless IP anonymization features are enabled (as described in the ‘Our use of Google Analytics’ section below).
Our Website uses both essential and non-essential Cookies. Essential Cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the Website, and we do not require your consent to use these. However, non-essential Cookies, which enhance the user experience, do require your consent. You may choose not to enable non-essential Cookies, but doing so may limit the ability to enjoy a more customized browsing experience.
We act as the data controllers for the processing of personal data related to Cookies and tracking technologies used on the Website.
