Cookie Policy

Effective Date: January 6, 2026
Last Updated: January 6, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how The Goodman Law Firm (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (the “Site”). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1) What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function properly, remember preferences, and collect information about how visitors use the site. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons, local storage, and SDKs.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser), or
• Persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them)

Cookies may also be:

• First-party cookies (set by our Site), or
• Third-party cookies (set by service providers or other third parties)

2) Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

• Essential operation: enabling core Site features, security, and load balancing
• Preferences: remembering your settings and choices
• Performance & analytics: understanding usage and improving Site performance
• Accessibility: supporting accessibility features and user preferences
• Security: detecting abuse, bot activity, and protecting the Site

3) Types of Cookies We Use

A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in many systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take (like navigating pages, submitting forms, or setting privacy preferences).

Examples:

• Security cookies to protect the Site
• Cookies that enable core site functionality

B. Performance / Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Site so we can improve it.

Microsoft Clarity: We use Microsoft Clarity for behavioral analytics. Microsoft documents that Clarity typically uses non-essential cookies to store a pseudonymous ID used to associate interactions and generate analytics (and that if cookies are disabled, Clarity does not set cookies).

Clarity may collect information such as:

• Pages visited and navigation paths
• Time spent on pages
• Clicks, scrolls, and interactions
• Device and browser information
• Approximate location derived from IP address

Microsoft provides information about Clarity’s privacy approach, including GDPR/CCPA-related statements and consent expectations in certain jurisdictions.

C. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization, such as remembering preferences. These may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to the Site.

D. Accessibility-Related Tools

We use UserWay to enhance accessibility and usability for visitors. UserWay provides its own disclosures about accessibility and privacy.

Depending on configuration, accessibility tools may use storage (cookies/local storage) to remember user preferences (such as contrast, font size, or other accessibility settings).

4) Managing Cookies

You can manage cookies in several ways:

A. Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to:

• See what cookies you have and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific sites
• Block all cookies

If you choose to block cookies, some parts of the Site may not work properly.

B. Cookie preference tools

If we provide a cookie banner or preference center, you can use it to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Where required, analytics cookies may be disabled until consent is provided.

C. Microsoft Clarity controls

Microsoft’s documentation indicates that Clarity’s collection may be limited where consent is required and not provided in certain regions.

5) Third-Party Cookies and Links

The Site may include links to third-party platforms (social media, legal directories, scheduling). When you click a third-party link, you may be taken to a site that sets its own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies. Review the third party’s cookie and privacy policies for more information.

6) Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically. We will post updates on this page and revise the “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
