Cookie Policy

Effective Date: February 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Alpin Law ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It also describes your choices regarding these technologies. This policy supplements our Privacy Policy and reflects our strict adherence to data minimization and privacy-by-design principles.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an online service. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve efficiency, and to provide reporting information. We may also utilize related infrastructure technologies, including:

• Web beacons/pixels: Small code blocks that enable us and our service providers to collect information such as whether a page has been viewed.
• Local storage: Browser or device-based storage used to remember settings and preferences.

2. Our Technical Infrastructure & Analytics Deployment

Alpin Law operates a website hosted via secure edge networks. To monitor site performance without compromising visitor privacy, we utilize server-side and edge-network telemetry rather than client-side tracking. Our analytics providers do not use third-party cookies or collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to track individual user behavior across the internet.

3. Categories of Cookies

While our digital footprint is intentionally minimal, data protection regulations require us to categorize cookies by their functional purpose. We categorize cookies as follows:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the Site to function and to provide requested services (for example, page navigation, authentication, security, fraud prevention, and managing cookie preferences). Our website requires the use of these cookies to properly operate or provide necessary functions relating to the services you request. Because they are critical to network integrity (such as mitigating malicious bot traffic).
• Functional Cookies: Enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering preferences, chat features, and media playback.

4. Who Places Cookies

• First-party cookies: Set directly by us or our primary infrastructure providers to ensure site delivery and security.
• Third-party cookies: Set by third parties such as analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, and embedded content or widgets. Third parties may use these cookies to collect information over time and across different websites and apps.

Alpin Law does not deploy third-party marketing, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking cookies.

5. Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

We respect your right to control data stored on your device. You can manage your preferences through the following mechanisms:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers accept cookies by default but allow you to set preferences to refuse or delete cookies. Instructions are typically available in your browser’s “Help” or “Settings” menus. If you disable cookies, some Site features may not function properly. Using your browser settings to block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may interfere with proper site operation.
• Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC): Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” features. We never sell or share your data, and thus inherently honor these signals.

6. Data Retention

We retain cookie data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Any strictly necessary session tokens utilized by our security infrastructure are inherently temporary and typically expire immediately upon the termination of your browsing session.

7. State Privacy Rights and Opt-Outs

Depending on where you reside, you may have rights regarding personal information processed through cookies and similar technologies, including the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and targeted advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable state laws.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the “Date” above and, where required, provide additional notice.
