At Everlaw, we believe in being transparent about how we collect and use data. This Cookie Notice provides information about how and when we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit Everlaw.com and other Everlaw websites, including our social media pages (collectively, the “Site”) and access our hosted eDiscovery and document management product (the “Service”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are unique to your account or browser. Website owners can use cookies for a variety of reasons that can include enabling their websites to work (or work more efficiently), providing personalized content and advertising, and creating website analytics.
Cookies set by a website owner are called “first party cookies.” Only website owners can access the first party cookies they set. Cookies set by parties other than a website owner are called “third party cookies.” Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through a website (e.g. ads, interactive content, social sharing). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits other websites that have partnered with them.
Session-based cookies last only while your browser is open on your device and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies last until you or your browser delete them or until they expire.
Everlaw’s Use of Cookies
In connection with our Site and Service, we may make use of first or third party cookies (described in the table below), whether session or persistent cookies, and other similar technologies. Some cookies are required for technical reasons that are strictly necessary for our Site and Service to operate, and we refer to these as “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to provide Site and Service functionality, or to enhance visitors’ experience on our Site by providing them with personalized content and advertising.
| Types of cookie |
| Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Site and Service and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. |
| Performance cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance of our Site and Service but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable. |
| Functional cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization, such as live chat support and user authentication. 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. |
| Analytics cookies: These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting ads that are based on your interests. |
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Site and Service and the purposes they perform are described in our cookie consent tool, which you can access here: here.
Other Tracking Technologies
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site or Service or opened an email that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Site and Service to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Site from an online ad displayed on a third-party website, to improve Site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will often impair their functionality.
Your Controls
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool, which you can access here: here.
You can set up or amend your web browser controls to accept or reject cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Site and Service, though your access to some functionality and areas of our Site and Service may be restricted. Information about the procedure to follow in order to enable or disable cookies can be found on your internet browser provider’s website via your help screen.
Additionally, you may wish to refer to Managing Cookies, How to Enable & Disable a Cookie for information on commonly used browsers. Please be aware that if cookies are disabled, not all features of the Site or Service may operate as intended.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a “do not track” (“DNT”) option. Because no common industry or legal standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies, or regulators, we do not respond to DNT signals. We will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
Changing Our Notice
We may change this Cookie Notice from time to time. Laws, regulations, and industry standards evolve, which make those changes necessary, or we may make changes to our Site or Service. We will post the changes to this page and revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Cookie Notice. Please revisit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
