Cookies do lots of different jobs, like helping website operators understand how their website is being used, letting a user navigate between pages efficiently, remembering a user’s preferences, and generally improving browsing experience. Cookies can also help ensure the advertisements an individual sees online are more relevant to their interests.
The types of cookies used on Orrick’s websites can generally be put into one of the following categories: strictly necessary; analytical or performance; functional; and targeting:
| Strictly Necessary Cookies | These cookies are essential to making Orrick’s websites work. They enable core functionality such as security, network management and accessibility. Without these cookies, services that are necessary for an individual to use a site, such as accessing secure areas or remembering the information inputted into a webform, are not available. These cookies do not track browsing history on non-Orrick websites. The legal basis for our use of strictly necessary cookies are our legitimate interests, namely being able to provide and maintain our website. |
| Analytical or Performance Cookies | These cookies collect information about how the number of visitors to our websites and online services, and to see how visitors move around our websites and online services when they are using them. This helps us to improve the way our websites and online services work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. Information collected from these cookies may be aggregated and used on an anonymous basis. The legal basis for our use of analytical/performance cookies is an individual’s consent. |
| Functional Cookies | These cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as preferred language or the region that an individual is accessing our website from. The legal basis for our use of functional cookies is an individual’s consent. |
| Targeting Cookies |
These cookies record an individual’s visit to our website, the pages they have visited and the links they have followed. They are used to track visitors across our websites. We use this information to make our website and the marketing messages we send to an individual more relevant to their interests. We may also share this information with third parties who provide a service to us for this purpose. The legal basis for our use of targeting cookies is an individual’s consent. Please see the Interest Based Advertising section below for more information. |
The list of some of the specific cookies which are most frequently used by Orrick may be found in the Cookies Used By Orrick annex below.
The length of time a cookie will stay on a browsing device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies will only stay on a device until the individual stops browsing. Persistent cookies stay on a browsing device until they expire or are deleted (i.e. after an individual has finished browsing). Details of “persistent” and “session” cookies set on Orrick websites can be found in the Cookies Used By Orrick annex below.
“First-party cookies” are cookies that belong to Orrick and that Orrick places on a device. “Third-party cookies” are cookies that another party places on a browsing device through an Orrick website.
Third-party cookies set on an Orrick website may provide a service or function to Orrick, however, we are not always in control of how the third-party uses these cookies. We recommend checking the third-party’s website for more information about how they use cookies. Details of third-parties that set cookies through Orrick websites can be found in the Cookies Used By Orrick annex below.
If an individual prefers not to accept cookies, most browsers will allow them to: (i) change their browser settings to notify them when they receive a cookie, which lets them choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) disable existing cookies; or (iii) set their browser to automatically reject cookies. The following links may be helpful:
Cookies that are placed on an individual’s browsing device by a third-party can be managed through their browser (as described above) or by reviewing the third-party’s website for more information about cookie management and how to “opt-out” of receiving cookies from them. Some third-parties may use cookies to help gather information about an individual’s browsing activity so that they can deliver advertising to them on other websites relevant to their interests.
Our emails may contain tracking pixels that identify if and when an individual has opened an email that we have sent them, how many times they have read it and whether they have clicked on any links in that email. This helps us measure the effectiveness of our marketing email campaigns, provide more relevant emails to an individual’s interests and to know if an individual has opened and read any important administrative emails we have sent them.
An individual may set their email options to prevent the automatic downloading of images that may contain technologies that would allow us to know whether they have accessed our emails and performed certain functions with it.
Some browsers also give the option of downloading and installing extensions that block pixels and other tracking technologies.
Please refer to the Interest Based Advertising section of our Privacy Notice for information regarding our interest-based advertising practices and your choices in regard to these practices.
Please contact us by email at [email protected] with any questions or comments regarding this Cookie Notice.
