COOKIE POLICY

Effective Date: September 7, 2026
Last Updated: September 7, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how SiteLaws.com (“SiteLaws,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit SiteLaws.com, use our website compliance risk scanner, purchase or use a subscription, create or access an account, receive reports, or interact with other features, content, communications, and services we provide.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, retain, disclose, and protect personal information more generally.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on a computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when a person visits a website. Cookies allow websites to recognize a browser or device, remember preferences, maintain sessions, support account access, process transactions, measure website activity, improve performance, and provide relevant content.

Cookies may collect or store information such as:

• A unique identifier

• Browser type and settings

• Device type and operating system

• Internet Protocol address

• Approximate location derived from an Internet Protocol address

• Referring and exit pages

• Pages viewed

• Links selected

• Dates and times of visits

• Session activity

• Account authentication status

• Cookie and privacy preferences

• Transaction or subscription status

• Advertising interactions

• Website errors and performance information

Some information collected through cookies may constitute personal information or personal data under applicable law.

2. Similar Technologies

We may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies. These technologies may include:

• Pixels and web beacons

• Tags

• Tracking scripts

• Software development kits

• Local storage

• Session storage

• Embedded content

• Device identifiers

• Server logs

• Application programming interfaces

• Link-tracking technologies

• Fraud-detection technologies

References to “cookies” in this policy generally include these similar technologies unless the context indicates otherwise.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are placed or controlled directly by SiteLaws.com. They may support functions such as account access, security, form submissions, scanner operation, subscriptions, preferences, and website performance.

Third-party cookies are placed or controlled by outside service providers whose services appear on or support SiteLaws.com. These providers may assist with functions such as payment processing, analytics, advertising, website hosting, security, customer support, video delivery, email communications, or embedded content.

Third parties may collect information through their technologies and process that information according to their own privacy policies. SiteLaws does not control every aspect of a third party’s independent data practices.

4. Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies generally remain active only during a browser session and are deleted when the browser closes.

Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period or until deleted. Persistent cookies may remember preferences, recognize returning visitors, support security, measure recurring use, or maintain certain account settings.

The duration of a particular cookie depends on its purpose and the settings established by SiteLaws or the applicable third-party provider.

5. Categories of Cookies We May Use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies support essential website operations. The website or a requested service may not function properly without them.

These cookies may be used to:

• Load and display the website

• Maintain secure sessions

• Authenticate registered users

• protect accounts, forms, and transactions

• Prevent fraud, abuse, spam, and unauthorized activity

• Balance website traffic

• Store privacy and cookie choices

• Remember items associated with checkout

• Process forms and service requests

• Operate the website compliance risk scanner

• Generate, retrieve, or deliver requested reports

• Maintain subscription and account functionality

• Diagnose technical failures

Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent because they are required to provide a website feature or service requested by the visitor.

B. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow SiteLaws.com to remember choices and provide enhanced features.

These cookies may be used to remember:

• Language or regional preferences

• Display and accessibility settings

• Previously entered form information

• Account preferences

• Saved scanner information

• Communication preferences

• Customized website features

Disabling functional cookies may prevent certain preferences or enhanced features from working properly.

C. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors find, navigate, and use SiteLaws.com.

These cookies may help us measure:

• Numbers of visitors and visits

• Frequently viewed pages

• Referring websites or campaigns

• General geographic regions

• Device and browser categories

• Navigation paths

• Feature usage

• Scanner usage

• Report activity

• Page-loading performance

• Errors and interrupted sessions

• Subscription conversion activity

• General website engagement

We may use this information to maintain SiteLaws.com, understand visitor interests, improve content, troubleshoot errors, evaluate marketing, and improve our services. Where required, these cookies will be used only after appropriate consent.

D. Advertising and Targeting Cookies

We or our advertising partners may use advertising or targeting cookies to measure advertising performance, limit repeated advertisements, create or associate audiences, and present advertising believed to be more relevant.

These technologies may collect information about activity on SiteLaws.com and, depending on the provider, activity across other websites, applications, or services. Such activity may constitute targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, sharing, or a sale of personal information under certain privacy laws.

Where required, we will request consent before using these technologies or provide a method to opt out. SiteLaws does not intend this policy to state that every advertising activity described here is currently used. This section applies when such technologies are implemented.

E. Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies

SiteLaws.com may contain videos, social-media features, maps, fonts, widgets, external forms, or other content supplied by third parties. Those third parties may place cookies or receive information when embedded content loads or when a visitor interacts with that content.

A third party may recognize a visitor when the visitor is signed into an account maintained by that provider. The provider’s privacy and cookie policies govern its independent collection and use of information.

F. Payment and Subscription Cookies

When a visitor purchases a subscription or another service, SiteLaws and its payment or commerce providers may use cookies to:

• Maintain a checkout session

• Process a payment

• Confirm transaction status

• Prevent fraudulent transactions

• Remember subscription or account status

• Support billing and account management

• Meet security, accounting, and legal obligations

Payment providers may collect payment and device information directly. SiteLaws may not receive or store complete payment-card details when a third-party payment processor handles the transaction.

G. Security and Fraud-Prevention Cookies

Security providers may use cookies and related technologies to identify automated requests, malicious activity, unauthorized access, suspicious transactions, account attacks, spam, and other threats.

These technologies may evaluate browser characteristics, device information, network information, request patterns, and website interactions. Certain security technologies may be treated as strictly necessary when required to protect SiteLaws, its visitors, or its services.

6. Cookies Used With the Website Compliance Scanner

When someone uses a free or paid website compliance scan, cookies and similar technologies may support:

• Submission of the website address being scanned

• Maintenance of the scan session

• Prevention of duplicate, automated, or abusive requests

• Application of scan limits

• Association of a scan with an account or subscription

• Delivery or retrieval of a report

• Preservation of entered information in the browser

• Technical troubleshooting

• Measurement of scanner performance and usage

• Verification of eligibility for paid features

• Fraud and security monitoring

Information entered into the scanner may remain stored in the visitor’s browser until the visitor deletes browser data, depending on the feature and browser settings. Clearing cookies, local storage, browsing data, or site data may remove saved information.

Our Privacy Policy provides additional information concerning scan submissions, reports, accounts, retention, and the processing of personal information.

7. Current Cookie Inventory

The particular cookies used by SiteLaws.com may change as we add, remove, update, or replace website features, plugins, hosting services, security services, analytics systems, payment providers, advertising services, and other technologies.

When available, the Cookie Settings, Privacy Choices, or similarly labeled link or tool on SiteLaws.com provides the current cookie categories and available controls. That tool may identify:

• Cookie or technology name

• Provider

• Purpose

• Category

• Duration

• Whether the technology is first-party or third-party

The information displayed through that tool is incorporated into this Cookie Policy by reference.

Some technologies may not appear in an automated inventory immediately. We may periodically scan and review SiteLaws.com to improve the accuracy of the inventory.

8. Your Cookie Choices

Depending on location and applicable law, a visitor may be able to accept, reject, or customize nonessential cookies through the cookie banner or preference tool.

Visitors may change their selections by using the Cookie Settings, Privacy Choices, or similarly labeled link made available on SiteLaws.com.

Rejecting or withdrawing consent will not ordinarily disable strictly necessary technologies. A changed preference generally applies to future activity and may not reverse processing that lawfully occurred before the preference changed.

Cookie choices may be associated with a particular browser and device. A visitor may need to repeat those choices when:

• Using a different browser

• Using a different device

• Using a private browsing session

• Clearing cookies or browser storage

• Preventing preference cookies from being saved

SiteLaws will seek to make withdrawing consent as easy as granting consent where applicable law requires.

9. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow users to view, block, or delete cookies through browser settings. A browser may also provide controls for third-party cookies, tracking prevention, local storage, permissions, and site-specific data.

Blocking all cookies may prevent SiteLaws.com from remembering preferences or providing essential functionality. Account access, saved inputs, checkout, subscriptions, scan requests, report delivery, and security controls may be affected.

Visitors should consult their browser’s help documentation for current instructions.

10. Global Privacy Control and Universal Opt-Out Signals

Some browsers and extensions allow users to transmit a Global Privacy Control or another legally recognized universal opt-out signal.

Where applicable law requires, SiteLaws will treat a recognized signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, or comparable processing for the browser or device transmitting the signal.

A signal may not automatically identify a visitor across different browsers, devices, or accounts. When legally permitted, we may offer an option to associate an opt-out choice with an account.

SiteLaws does not treat a general “Do Not Track” signal as an enforceable preference unless applicable law requires otherwise. Industry responses to traditional Do Not Track signals remain inconsistent.

11. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Some privacy laws define “sale” broadly enough to include transferring personal information in exchange for money or another valuable benefit. Certain disclosures involving advertising technologies may also qualify as “sharing” or targeted advertising even when money is not exchanged.

If SiteLaws engages in activity treated as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, eligible visitors may exercise available opt-out rights through the cookie-preference tool, a Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link, a Your Privacy Choices link, or another method described in our Privacy Policy.

SiteLaws will not discriminate unlawfully against a visitor for exercising an applicable privacy right.

12. Consent for Visitors Outside the United States

Visitors from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction requiring prior consent may be asked to consent before SiteLaws uses nonessential cookies.

When required:

• Nonessential cookies will not be activated before valid consent

• Cookie categories and purposes will be explained

• Consent choices will not be inferred solely from silence or continued browsing

• Visitors may reject nonessential cookies

• Visitors may withdraw or change consent

• Consent records may be retained to document the choice

• The website will periodically request renewed consent when appropriate

The availability and operation of consent controls may depend on the visitor’s location and applicable law.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

SiteLaws.com may link to websites, reports, platforms, payment pages, or services operated by third parties. Selecting an external link may allow the third party to collect information and place cookies according to its own practices.

This Cookie Policy does not govern cookies placed solely through a third-party website or service that SiteLaws does not control. Visitors should review the applicable third party’s privacy and cookie policies.

14. Email Technologies

Emails sent by or for SiteLaws may contain tracking pixels or coded links that help determine whether an email was delivered, opened, or selected. These technologies may also help us measure communications and improve email content.

Recipients may be able to limit certain email tracking by disabling remote-image loading in their email application. Unsubscribing from promotional email does not necessarily prevent transactional, billing, security, account, subscription, or service communications.

15. Data Retention

Cookie information is retained for periods appropriate to the purpose for which the technology is used. Retention periods may depend on:

• Whether a cookie is session-based or persistent

• Security requirements

• Account or subscription status

• Consent documentation requirements

• Analytics configurations

• Contractual obligations

• Legal requirements

• Dispute resolution needs

We may retain aggregated or deidentified information for longer periods when permitted by law.

16. Children’s Privacy

SiteLaws.com and its services are not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly use cookies to create advertising profiles of children under 18.

If we learn that information from a child was collected through cookies or similar technologies contrary to applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete or appropriately restrict that information.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child provided personal information through SiteLaws.com should contact us using the method described below.

17. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect information collected through cookies and similar technologies.

No website, browser, network, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors should use appropriate browser security, protect account credentials, install current software updates, and avoid accessing sensitive accounts through untrusted devices or networks.

18. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our technologies, services, providers, practices, or legal obligations change.

The revised policy will be posted on SiteLaws.com with an updated “Last Updated” date. We may provide additional notice when required by law or when a change materially affects visitor choices.

Continued use of SiteLaws.com after an update does not constitute consent to nonessential cookies where applicable law requires an affirmative choice.

19. Relationship to Other SiteLaws Policies

This Cookie Policy supplements the SiteLaws Privacy Policy. If a conflict exists concerning cookies or similar technologies, this Cookie Policy will govern that subject unless applicable law requires otherwise.

The SiteLaws Terms and Conditions govern general use of SiteLaws.com and its services.

20. Contact SiteLaws

Questions, requests, or complaints concerning this Cookie Policy or SiteLaws cookie practices may be submitted through the contact form or privacy-request method provided on SiteLaws.com.

21. Important Notice

Cookie requirements vary according to location, technology, business practices, and the laws that apply to a particular organization. SiteLaws may revise its cookie controls and disclosures as its services develop and legal requirements change.
