This Cookies Policy explains how Birg Law (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on
www.birg.law. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices you have over how we use them. Please read it together with our
Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer, tablet, or phone when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences between visits, and to give site owners information about how their pages are used. We also use related technologies — such as pixels, local storage, and similar identifiers — and refer to all of them as “cookies” in this policy.
Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another company whose service appears on our site are called third-party cookies.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep the website secure and running as intended.
- Remember the choice you made in our cookie banner, so we do not ask you again on every page.
- Remember display preferences, such as your device type and screen size.
- Understand which pages and practice areas visitors find useful, so we can improve them.
- Measure whether our contact forms and calls to action work correctly.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submission, spam protection on our contact forms, and remembering your cookie choice. The site cannot work properly without them, and they cannot be switched off in our banner.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: These help us count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They tell us which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the site. All of the information these cookies collect is aggregated.
- Functionality Cookies: These allow the site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features, such as keeping the layout suited to your device.
- Marketing Cookies: These may be set by us or by our advertising partners to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and to show content that is more relevant to you. We do not use them to identify you personally.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third parties whose services we use, including analytics providers, our live chat provider, spam protection on our forms, and embedded content such as maps or video. These companies set their own cookies and process the data they collect under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We recommend reviewing those policies on the providers’ own websites.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a banner asks whether you accept cookies. If you decline, we do not load analytics or marketing cookies — only the strictly necessary ones that keep the site working. You can change your decision at any time:
reopen the cookie banner and choose again.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers let you see which cookies are stored, delete them individually or all at once, and block them from some or all sites. The relevant settings are usually found under Settings, Privacy, or Security in your browser’s menu, and browser help pages explain the exact steps.
Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly, including our contact forms.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There is currently no common industry standard for how websites should respond to it, so our site does not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time. You can still control cookies using our banner and your browser settings as described above.
How Long Cookies Last
Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them. The cookie that records your choice in our banner is a persistent cookie and lasts for up to twelve months, after which we will ask you again.
Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. Any changes take effect as soon as the revised policy is posted on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you stay informed about how we use cookies.
