C. Tracking Tools

1. Cookies
“Cookies” are small computer  files transferred to your device or to your browser that contain  information such as user ID, user preferences, lists of pages visited  and activities conducted while using Hoon.law. We use cookies to: (I)  improve the services we provide on our website, (ii) to support and  improve the experience of our website visitors, (iii) measure  performance, and for (iv) analytics and fraud prevention.

For more information on cookies, including  how to control your cookie settings and preferences, visit  http://www.allaboutCookies.org. You can also manage cookies in your web  browser (for example, Edge, Explorer, Chrome, Safari). If you choose to  change cookie settings, you may find that certain functions or features  of our website may not work as intended.

2. Web Beacons
“Web Beacons” (a.k.a.  clear GIFs or pixel tags) are tiny graphic image files embedded in a web  page or email that may be used to collect information about the use of  our website. The information collected by web beacons allows us to  analyze how many people are using Hoon.law, what pages or services they  are using, and for what purpose.

3. Web Service Analytics
We use  third-party analytics services in connection with our website,  including, for example, to register mouse clicks, mouse movements,  scrolling activity and text typed into Hoon.law. We use the information  collected from these services to help make our website easier to use  and as otherwise set forth in Section VII “How We Use Your Information.”  These analytics services generally do not collect personal information  unless you voluntarily provide it.

4. Mobile Device Identifiers
As with  other Tracking Tools, mobile device identifiers help Hoon Law LLC learn more about our visitors’ demographics and Internet behaviors in  order to personalize and improve the services we provide on our website.  Mobile device identifiers are stored on mobile devices that may track  activities occurring on and through it, as well as the applications  installed on it. Mobile device identifiers enable collection of personal  information (such as media access control, IP address, and relative  location) and Traffic Data.

D. Behavioral Advertising

We do not track your online activity across other websites or engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.

E. Opting Out of Cookies and Mobile Device Identifiers

You may be able to reject cookies and/or  mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your  browser or device. Although you are not required to accept firm cookies  or mobile device identifiers, if you choose to block or reject them, you  may not have access to all features available within Hoon.law.

You can further change your preferences  for cookies on our website Hoon.law and opt out of most third-party  cookies (with the exception of necessary or essential cookies that are  required for the website to function properly on your device) through  the Cookie Settings button and manager on our website.

Our Privacy Policy does not cover the use  of cookies and other Tracking Tools by any third parties, and we are not  responsible for the privacy practices of any third party. Please be  aware that some third-party cookies could continue to track your  activities online even after you have left Hoon.law

F. “Do Not Track” (DNT) and Universal Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some web browsers (including Safari,  Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track”  (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor  does not want to have their online activity and behavior tracked. If a  web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the  web service operator may refrain from collecting certain personal  information about the browser’s user. Not all browsers offer a DNT  option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what  constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators,  including Hoon Law LLC, do not proactively respond to DNT  signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit  https://allaboutdnt.com.

New standards are being developed for a  Universal Opt-Out Mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”),  which allow users with GPC-enabled browsers and devices to send a  signal that will communicate the user’s request to opt-out of sales of  their personal information and to opt-out of certain sharing of their  personal information. The CPRA and other laws allow for the acceptance  of Opt-Out Preference Signals such as the GPC, as an option for  individuals to transmit an Opt-Out of selling/sharing personal  information. If we detect and recognize such a signal from your device  or browser, we will honor it.

We do not engage in automated decision  making. We may use information (including information that has been  de-identified and/or aggregated) to understand who uses our website and  how we can deliver a better user experience. We use information,  including personal information, to provide the legal and other services,  improve or develop new services, and to advertise our services.  Specifically, such use may include:
