COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: June 16, 2025 | Last Updated: June 16, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how JDS Law Office (“Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at www.jdslawoffice.com (the “Site”). This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and use personal information.

By continuing to use our Site, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Policy. Where required by law — including for users in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive — we will obtain your explicit consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or login status.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies, including:

• Web beacons (also called “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”): Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether a page or email has been viewed.

• Local storage objects: Data stored in your browser’s local storage, which functions similarly to cookies but with greater storage capacity.

• Session storage: Temporary data stored in your browser for the duration of a single session.

The table below in Image A, describes the categories of cookies we use or may use on the Site.

First-party cookies are set directly by JDS Law Office and are used to support the operation and functionality of the Site, remember your preferences, and analyze how visitors use the Site.

Third-party cookies are set by external service providers whose services we have integrated into our Site. These providers may independently collect data about your online activities across different websites. We do not control third-party cookies and recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party providers.

Third-party services that may set cookies on our Site include:

• Google Analytics — used to analyze Site usage and performance. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

• Session Cookies: These cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted from your device when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you browse the Site.

• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time (as specified in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.

For users in the EEA, we rely on the following legal bases for using cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Used on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site. These do not require your consent.

• Analytics, Functional, and Marketing Cookies: Used only with your prior consent, which you may provide or withdraw through our cookie consent mechanism or your browser settings.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookie use prior to withdrawal. To withdraw consent, please adjust your browser or cookie settings as described in Section 6 below.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies (other than strictly necessary cookies). You can control cookies in the following ways:

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. Please note that restricting cookies may impact the functionality of the Site. Below are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647

• Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer

• Apple Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac

You may opt out of certain third-party cookies using the following tools:

• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Opt-Out: https://optout.aboutads.info

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. Because there is no uniform standard for DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will update this Policy if we adopt a DNT standard in the future.

For California residents, certain cookie-based data collection may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA if it involves disclosing data to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising. JDS Law Office does not currently sell or share personal information collected through cookies for advertising purposes.

California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. If our cookie practices change in a manner that implicates the CCPA/CPRA, we will provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on the Site and update this Policy accordingly.

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or persistent cookie. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for the duration specified at the time they are placed, which may range from a few days to up to two years, depending on the purpose of the cookie. You may delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
