As a trusted source for legal knowledge and resources throughout the United States, we are committed not only to providing accurate and accessible legal information — but also to valuing your privacy while being transparent about how we use technology to deliver the best browsing experience possible on our website. This page provides a detailed explanation of how cookies function on johnhruiz.com, what types of cookies we utilize, their purposes, and what options you have for their use. Whether you are an individual wanting insight into your legal rights, or a business entrepreneur searching for current legal resources through our website, you deserve to know how we handle and protect your data while navigating our online domain.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet, etc.) after you visit a certain website. Cookies are very common on the web; they are necessary for websites to work properly, keep track of user preferences, and gather information about online users. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted after you exit the browser), or persistent (stored on your device for a limited period of time or until deleted). At John H. Ruiz Legal Insights, we utilize cookies to optimize your experience on our website, deliver personalized website content, and analyze the behavior of our visitors.
Why do we use cookies?
Some of the purposes for which we use cookies are to enhance your experience, provide customized content, and maintain the functionality of our website. In particular, cookies allow us to:
- Recall user preferences and login information on subsequent visits;
- Analyze traffic patterns in order to evaluate and improve upon the functionality of the website and our resources;
- Provide features such as secure validation into the member-only areas;
- Personalize education programs, advice and news updates according to your interests; and
- Protect our website as well as our website visitors from security breaches, misuse of information, fraud and unauthorized access.
Cookies are an integral part of our commitment to making the law easy to understand and accessible.
What types of cookies do we use?
On johnhruiz.com, we use a number of categories of cookies, each for a specific purpose:
- Required Cookies: These are technical cookies used in the presentation of our website (e.g. to facilitate secure login, session management or manage website navigation).
- Performance Cookies: We use these cookies to collect anonymous information on how visitors use our website (e.g. to identify areas for improvement, optimize page loading times and ensure that content is relevant to you).
- Functional Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences (e.g., language or region) and enable us to provide enhanced, personalized features.
- Analytical Cookies: Using third party services such as Google Analytics, we collect information about visitor interactions, popular resources and user journeys – all of which feed into the ongoing optimization of our legal library and learning materials.
- Advertising and Marketing Cookies: We may use these tools to customize legal news, offers, or suggested reading lists to better serve your interests. That way, you’ll never miss what’s most important to you. (We don’t allow third party advertisers to target our users with ads.)
How we use third-party cookies
In addition to cookies placed by this website and John H. Ruiz Legal Insights web services, some pages may contain content and software from trusted third party providers. Embedded videos from YouTube; buttons that allow you to share content on social networks such as Facebook or Twitter; and analytics services such as Google Analytics and others, may set cookies on your device when you interact with them. Use of those cookies is subject to the respective providers’ privacy and cookie policies.
We make every effort to partner with providers that practice good privacy hygiene, and we do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing purposes. Any data that is captured via such services is anonymous and only used to measure site performance and improve content.
How to change your cookie settings
We at johnhruiz.com are committed to the principle that we should empower visitors to manage their own digital footprint. Therefore, when you first visit johnhruiz.com, you will see a cookie consent banner which will allow you either to consent to all cookies, to reject non-necessary cookies, or to configure your cookie settings. Your selection will be kept for the next time you visit the site (however, you will also have the ability to change it, at any time, using our Cookie Settings link located at the bottom of every page of this website).
Most web browsers also include a “settings” menu which can be used to manage cookies; for example, to block or delete cookies. Please understand that if you take actions to block certain cookies, some functionality on sections of this site (such as access to member-only content or storage of your preferences) may become unavailable to you.
Cookies and your privacy
Your privacy is important to us. Cookies on johnhruiz.com will never be used to collect sensitive personal information like legal cases, legal consultations, payment, or contact information. Information collected from cookies will usually be anonymous or compiled into aggregate usage and will be used for business purposes like site improvement or user experience.
Please read our Privacy Policy if you have any more questions about how we use and protect information. If our privacy policy raises any questions or concerns for you then please call or reach out to our team during business hours.
Cookie expiry and length
Session cookies expire when you close your browser, so they do not have a wider lifespan than that. Persistent cookies have a pre-defined timespan (a few days to up to 12 months), after which they are automatically deleted. Persistent cookies on our site are used to remember your preferences and provide consistency. You can delete them yourself at any time by setting your browser options.
Changes to our cookies policy
As part of our commitment to transparency and compliance with new privacy laws, we will continue to periodically revise our Cookie Policy.
