A “cookie” is a small piece of information stored on your personal computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, and/or other device (each, a “Device”) whenever you visit or interact with when you visit a website. The cookie means that the application or website will remember you and how you’ve used the website every time you come back. A cookie can be a “persistent” or “session” cookie. A “persistent cookie” will remain on a Device for a period of time set for that cookie. A “session-based cookie” is allocated only for the duration of your visit to our website and automatically expires when you close down your browser.

“First-party cookies” originate from the same domain as the website you’re currently visiting (for example, in this case, https://www.wamentertainmentlaw.com/). “Third-party cookies” originate from third-party services that a the website owner allows to present information, run content, or provide other functionality on the website, such as analytics. We don’t control how these third parties use their cookies, so we recommend you review their privacy and cookie policies at their respective websites to see how they’re using them and how you can manage them.

We use cookies for various purposes For example, cookies are used to enable certain functions of the Site(s), enhance security, improve functionality, remember your preferences, or count the number of people looking at the Site(s). We also use them to keep track of what you’ve done on the Site(s), and how to get you back to where you were during your last visit.

We receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself through the standard electronic greeting between your computer or mobile device and our servers. This information often consists of network routing (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), Internet protocol (IP) address, date, and time. Other parts of the Site(s) use cookies (including sign-up forms) to collect information about your use of the Site and to facilitate return visits. Cookies on the Site(s) may collect the following information: a unique identifier, user preferences and profile information used to personalize the content that is shown, and user information.

Cookies themselves do not hold personally identifiable information (“PII”). They only have a unique alphanumeric identifier that sits on your browser. And in many cases, we won’t be able to link the information we collect by using a cookie back to you. They can, however, enable us to link that information back to you and your personal information, for example, when you log in or sign up on www.wamentertainmentlaw.com or its affiliated sites or choose to register for a newsletter.

We may also engage third parties to track and analyze non-personally and personally identifiable website data. To do so, we may permit third parties to place cookies on devices of users of our Site, where permitted by law, and subject to your right to opt-out through the Site(s). Such third parties may combine the information that we provide about you with other information that they have collected. These third parties are required to use your information in accordance with this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy. We will record all such disclosures and will use reasonable efforts to ensure that such third parties do not use your PII for any purpose that is not expressly provided for.

We’ve put our cookies into the following categories to make it easier for you to understand why we use them:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies – These cookies are necessary for the Site(s) to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Site(s) will not then work. These cookies do not store any PII.
• Functional Cookies –When enabled, these cookies enable the Site(s) to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. 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 then some or all of these services may not function properly.
• Performance Cookies – When enabled, these cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.
• Targeting Cookies– When enabled, these cookies are used to share some information with third parties who we advertise with, so we know how you’ve reached our Site(s). These cookies may be set through our site by third-party partners. We can also use these cookies to identify the parts of the Site(s) that you are interested in. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on our pages and that of other third-party websites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
• Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Microsoft Advertising, and LinkedIn Advertising cookies to understand how users engage with our Site(s). We use these cookies to collect information and report Site(s) usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google, Microsoft, or LinkedIn. We use these cookies to compile reports and to help us improve the Site(s). The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come from geographically and the pages they have visited, and the devices and browsers the visitor is using. 

Only strictly necessary cookies are required when using the Site(s). You can opt-out of functional, performance, and targeting cookies by using the cookie consent banner which can be re-accessed if previously collapsed by clicking the fingerprint button in the bottom left portion of any page on the Site. Analytics cookies must be opted-out directly with Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Microsoft Advertising, and LinkedIn Advertising via the steps outlined in the “Controlling Your Cookies” section of this Cookie Policy.

In addition to the cookies we use on our Site(s), we also use cookies and similar technologies in some emails and notifications we send to you. These help us to understand whether you have opened the email and how you have interacted with it. If you have enabled images, cookies may be set on your computer or mobile device. Cookies will also be set if you click on any link within an email.
