This privacy policy applies to Dewars Attorneys-at-Law. Our website address is: https://www.dewarlawja.com (the “Site”).

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit or interact with our Site.

 

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked) may be publicly visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the Site, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from such images.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience. These may include:

• Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These persist for one year.

• Login cookies: Temporary cookies are used to determine if your browser accepts cookies. Upon login, we set cookies to save your login details and display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen preference cookies last one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, login persists for two weeks.

• Editor cookies: If you edit or publish content, an additional cookie will be saved indicating the post ID. This expires after one day.

You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited that website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content—especially if you are logged in to their platform.
