Cookies and IP
Addresses
To serve you more efficiently and effectively, we use "cookies"
technology. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive that
contains information about the user. Cookies are not way linked to Consumer
PII. Once the user closes their browser, a cookie typically terminates. Cookies
enable a web site to "personalize" itself for each user and reduce
the time it takes for pages to load on your computer. In order to optimize your
experience, cookies also help with the collection of customer tracking data. We
may also capture customer tracking data on some of our partner's web sites,
related to activity involved with the completion of offers listed on our web
site. This information is used to monitor the performance of our partners. If
you reject cookies, you may still use our site, but your ability to use some
areas of our site will be limited. We also keep track of Internet Protocol (IP)
addresses and may disclose your IP address during the course and scope of our
business. An IP Address is a number that is used by computers on the network to
identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet.
Some of our non-affiliated business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on
our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. This Privacy
Policy covers the use of our cookies only and does not cover the use of cookies
by any advertisers.
Clear Gifs
We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is
effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in
function to cookies, and are used to track the online movement of Web users.
Clear gifs are not tied to users' personal information. We also use clear gifs in
our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails the recipients have opened.
This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the
effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. If users would like to opt-out of
these emails, please see the Opt-out section within any email you receive from
us or unsubscribe from our homepage by clicking here.
Opting-Out
We offer you choices when we ask for personal information, whenever reasonably
possible. We provide you the opportunity to "opt-out" of having your
personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for
this information. You may decline to provide personal information to us and/or
refuse cookies in your browser, although some of our features or services may
not function properly as a result.
If you no longer wish to receive newsletter and promotional communications, you
may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each
newsletter or communication or by emailing or calling us per the information
contained on our contact page. You may continue to receive email communications
from us up to ten (10) business days from the time we receive your unsubscribe
request. Please note that The Otto Firm can only control its own mailing list
and policies. Third party advertisers that maintain their own mailing lists may
send communications that advertise our services, and you may need to contact
these parties directly in order to stop receiving their communications.
Although The Otto Firm only supports permission-based emails, The Otto Firm
does not obligate itself to restrict third parties advertising The Otto Firm
beyond that which is required by applicable law.
