drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow
us to make it easier for you to navigate our Sites, while others are used to
enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities while
using our Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you
prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future. The Help
portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your
computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you
receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
- Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies
Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to
cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer's hard drive,
clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (also
referred to as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our
services to, among other things, track the activities of users of our services,
help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our services. We
and our third-party service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our
customers, to help us track email response rates, to identify when our emails
are viewed, and to track whether our emails are forwarded.
- Log files
Most browsers collect certain information, such as your IP address, device type,
screen resolution, operating system version, and internet browser type and
version. This information is gathered automatically and stored in log files.
- Third-party analytics
We also use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics (more
info here) to evaluate the use of our Sites and Services. We use these tools to
gather non-personal data about users to help us improve our services and user
experiences. These analytics providers may use cookies and other technologies to
perform their services and may combine the information they collect about you on
our Sites with other information they have collected for their own purposes.
This Policy does not cover such uses of data by third parties.
- Do-not-track signals

6. Direct marketing

will obtain your consent to do so. You may opt out of such communications at any time by
following the opt-out instructions contained in the email or email us at

personal information to locations in other jurisdictions.
If you are based within European Economic Area (EEA), please note that where necessary
to deliver the services, we will transfer personal information to countries outside the
EEA (including to other Libro Law Firm Inc practicing entities). Countries outside the
EEA may not provide an adequate level of protection to your personal information, which
is why the Libro Law Firm Inc practicing entities have signed a data sharing agreement,
based on the EU standard contractual clauses, to provide appropriate safeguards and an
