Cookies, Tracking Technologies & Your Choices

Version 1.0 — Effective January 1, 2025

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how LegalEdge Innovators, Inc. ("LegalEdge," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at legaledgeinnovators.com (the "Site") or use our platform and services (collectively, the "Services"). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

By using our Site or Services, you acknowledge and consent to the use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information, including information collected through certain cookies.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how their sites are being used. Cookies can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

Pixel Tags and Web Beacons

Pixel tags (also called web beacons, clear GIFs, or tracking pixels) are small, transparent images embedded in web pages or emails. They allow us to track whether you have viewed specific content or a particular email and to collect information about your device and browser.

Local Storage

Local storage technologies (such as HTML5 localStorage) allow websites to store data on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request and can store larger amounts of data.

Device Fingerprinting

Device fingerprinting involves collecting information about your device configuration (such as screen resolution, operating system, browser type, and installed plugins) to create a unique "fingerprint" that can be used to recognize your device across sessions.

First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by LegalEdge Innovators directly when you visit our Site. These cookies are under our control and are used to enable core functionality, remember your preferences, and understand how you use our Services.

Third-party cookies are set by other companies (such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms) when you visit our Site. These cookies enable third parties to collect data about your online activities across different websites and services. Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of the companies that set them.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our Site and Services:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Site and Services. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, account authentication, and access to secure areas. You cannot opt out of these cookies because the Site would not function properly without them. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

Examples: Session cookies for maintaining your login state; cookies that remember items in your shopping cart; cookies used for load balancing; cookies that detect and prevent fraudulent activity; cookies required for secure payment processing.

Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences, language settings, and region. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

Examples: Cookies that remember your language preference; cookies that remember your display settings; cookies that store your username for faster login; cookies that enable live chat functionality.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether visitors encounter error messages. The information collected is aggregated and used to improve the performance and usability of our Site. These cookies may be set by us or by third-party analytics providers.

Examples: Google Analytics cookies for measuring site traffic and user behavior; cookies that help us understand how you navigate our platform; cookies that track page load times and performance metrics.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited our Site and may share this information with other organizations such as advertisers.

Examples: Cookies set by Google Ads, LinkedIn, Meta (Facebook), and other advertising platforms; retargeting cookies that allow us to show you relevant ads on other websites; conversion tracking cookies that measure whether you completed an action after clicking an ad.

Social Media Cookies

These cookies are set by social media services that we have added to the Site to enable you to share our content with your networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building a profile of your interests, which may impact the content and messages you see on other websites.

Examples: LinkedIn share buttons; Twitter/X widgets; Facebook Like and Share buttons.

Your Choices: Managing Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies and similar technologies:

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our Site, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" or "Privacy Preferences" link in the footer of our website.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these options in your browser's "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in common browsers:

  • Google Chrome: chrome://settings/cookies
  • Mozilla Firefox: about:preferences#privacy
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy
  • Microsoft Edge: edge://settings/privacy
  • Internet Explorer: Tools > Internet Options > Privacy

Note: If you disable or delete cookies, some features of our Site may not function properly, and your user experience may be affected.

Opt-Out of Analytics

You can opt out of certain analytics cookies using the following tools:

  • Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out: optout.networkadvertising.org

Opt-Out of Interest-Based Advertising

You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies through:

  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): optout.aboutads.info
  • European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): youronlinechoices.eu
  • Google Ad Settings: adssettings.google.com
  • Facebook Ad Preferences: facebook.com/ads/preferences

Mobile Device Settings

Your mobile device may provide options to limit ad tracking or reset advertising identifiers. On iOS devices, you can enable "Limit Ad Tracking" or "App Tracking Transparency" in Settings > Privacy > Tracking. On Android devices, you can opt out of personalized ads in Settings > Google > Ads.

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. Because there is no common understanding of how to interpret DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to browser DNT signals. However, you can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner and the other methods described in this policy.

Global Privacy Control

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. GPC is a browser setting that communicates your privacy preferences to websites you visit. When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we will treat this as a valid opt-out request for the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). You can learn more about GPC and how to enable it at globalprivacycontrol.org.

California Residents: "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information"

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information. When we allow third-party advertising cookies to collect information about your activity on our Site for purposes of delivering targeted advertising, this may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA's broad definitions.

To opt out, you may:

  • Click the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer of our website
  • Adjust your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner
  • Enable Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser
  • Contact us at privacy@legaledgeinnovators.com

For more information about your rights under the CCPA, please see our California Privacy Notice.

Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we will obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or by contacting us.

The legal bases we rely on for processing your personal information through cookies include: your consent (for non-essential cookies); our legitimate interests in operating and improving our Site and Services; and the performance of a contract with you (for strictly necessary cookies).

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice (such as a banner on our Site or an email notification).
