Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner, P.A. (“SLW”) Cookie Policy

Similar to other websites, slwip.com utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” and web server logs to collect information about how the service is used.

Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner, P.A. (“SLW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.slwip.com and any accompanying client portals or other sites we may develop (collectively, “SLW Sites”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, the categories of cookies we use, and the choices available to you. This Cookie Policy is maintained separately from the SLW Privacy Policy, which describes our overall collection, use, and disclosures of Personal Information. Our Privacy Policy can be found here: SLW Privacy Policy.

A cookie is a small text file placed on devices by a website allowing the site to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions on the site. A cookie helps to navigate between pages on a website, provides secure connections and remembers preferences from a previous visit. A cookie can be “persistent” or can be limited to a single session. A persistent cookie consists of a text file sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the web browser that remains valid until a set expiration date, or until it is deleted. A session cookie is a cookie which expires at the end of the user's session when the browser is closed.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the owners of the site. The SLW Sites may also use similar technologies, such as web beacons/pixels, software development kits (SDKs), and locally stored objects, which this Cookie Policy refers to collectively as “cookies.”

SLW uses cookies to make the SLW Sites function properly and securely; to remember your preferences and settings; to understand how visitors use the SLW Sites so that we can improve their performance and content; and, where you have consented or as otherwise permitted by law, to deliver marketing and advertising that may be relevant to you.

We use cookies on the SLW Sites for a variety of purposes. All cookies used on SLW sites fall into one of four defined categories.

• Essential Cookies are necessary for the SLW Sites to operate, including enabling core functionality, network management, security, and load balancing. SLW Sites cannot function properly without Essential Cookies, and as such they cannot be switched off through the “Your Privacy Choices” available on the SLW Sites. You may block them through your browser settings in which case you may not be able to access all or parts of the SLW Sites.
• Functional Cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. These allow the SLW Sites to remember choices you make, such as setting preferences, language, region, or display settings, so that we can provide a more personalized experience. If you do not allow Functional Cookies, some or all SLW Sites services may not function properly.
• Analytics Cookies help us better understand and analyze how you interact with the SLW Sites, including the number of visitors, which pages are viewed, how long you stay, and how you found the SLW Sites, such as through a search engine or social media. We use these Analytics Cookies, including services hosted by third parties such as Google Analytics, to compile reports and improve the performance, content, and functionality of the SLW Sites. Information collected for this purpose may include data sent by your browser as part of a web page request, your IP address, and the timing and duration of your visit.
• Marketing Cookies are used to deliver advertising relevant to your interests across the SLW Sites and other sites and to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

You can manage your cookie choices at any time using our cookie preferences tool, linked as “Your Privacy Choices” powered by UserCentrics. Your choices depend on your location.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction that requires prior consent, non-essential cookies (including Analytics and Marketing Cookies) will not be dropped until you consent. When you first visit the SLW Sites, a cookie banner will ask you to accept or reject these cookies. Both options are equally easy to select. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Your Privacy Choices" in the footer of our website.

Essential Cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences tool. These cookies are necessary for the SLW Sites to function, and they are not subject to consent requirements. If you decline non-essential cookies, some site features, including personalized content or saved preferences, may not function as intended.

Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) is a browser or browser-extension setting that lets you send a signal requesting that a website opt you out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information and out of targeted advertising. SLW Sites recognize and process GPC signals as a valid opt-out request for sale/sharing and targeted advertising. If you enable GPC, you do not need to submit a separate opt-out request through our “Your Privacy Choices” for that browser or device; however, because the GPC signal is tied to a specific browser and device, you will need to enable it separately on each browser and device you use. Enabling GPC does not opt you out of Essential Cookies or first-party Analytics Cookies used solely to maintain and improve the SLW Sites.

Some Internet browsers also incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to the website you are visiting telling the website you do not want to be tracked. Currently, there is not a common understanding on how to interpret the DNT, so the SLW Sites do not respond to Do Not Track browser signals. Cookies subject to your consent or opt-out choices are instead managed through the “Your Privacy Choices” and Global Privacy Control as described above.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the cookies and technologies we use, or applicable law. We will post the revised Policy on the SLW Sites with an updated effective date.
