Cookie Policy

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information. Related technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and SDKs. We use the term cookies to include all of these.

2) Who sets cookies?

• First-party cookies are set by Darrell A. Johnson, Attorney at Law.
• Third-party cookies are set by providers we use (for example, analytics vendors).

3) How we use cookies

We use cookies for the purposes below. We do not use cookies to sell personal information.

1. Essential (Strictly Necessary) — Required to operate the Site, keep it secure, and remember basic preferences (e.g., your cookie choice). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
2. Analytics (Optional) — Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and performance (e.g., page views, navigation paths). We configure analytics to use IP anonymization where available and to avoid collecting sensitive categories.

Your choice: You can select Essentials only or Allow analytics in the cookie banner, and change your choice anytime in Cookie Settings.

4) Legal basis

Where required by law, we use consent for analytics cookies. For essential cookies, we rely on our legitimate interests in operating a secure, functional website.

5) Cookies we commonly use

The exact set may change as we update the site. We keep this list current.

If we add other tools (e.g., error monitoring or performance metrics), we’ll update this table.

6) Managing cookies

• Banner/Settings: Use the Cookie Banner or the Cookie Settings link in the footer to change your choice at any time.
• Browser controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect site functionality.
• Do Not Track: Our Site does not respond to DNT signals. You can manage cookies as described above instead.

7) Analytics details (if enabled)

We may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to generate aggregate usage reports. We configure GA4 with:

• IP anonymization (masked before storage),
• Region-appropriate data retention, and
• No advertising features unless we provide a separate notice/consent.

Google may process limited data on our behalf for analytics or advertising measurement. See Google’s Privacy & Terms for details. You can also use Google’s opt-out browser add-on or your Ads Settings to manage how Google uses your information.
