Cookie Policy

1.What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file that a website puts on your device when you visit. It lets the site remember things — that you have been here before, what you typed into a form, which advertisement brought you here.

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage. For simplicity, this policy calls all of them "cookies."

Cookies cannot read other files on your device, and they cannot carry viruses.

2.How We Use Cookies

Strictly necessary

These make the website work and cannot be switched off. They keep our contact forms, case review pop-ups, and booking calendar functioning, remember your cookie preferences, and provide basic security.

Performance and analytics

These tell us how the site is used — which pages people read, how long they stay, where they leave. It is aggregated and helps us make the site more useful. If you block these, the site still works.

Functional

These remember choices you make, such as form information you have already entered, so you do not have to type it twice.

Marketing and targeting

These measure whether our advertising works and may be used to show our ads to people who have visited this site. They are set by advertising platforms, not by us.

A note specific to a law firm: if you would rather not be shown injury-lawyer advertising after visiting this site — which is a reasonable thing to want — blocking marketing cookies in your browser is the most reliable way to prevent it. Section 5 explains how.

3.Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this site are set by other companies whose services we use:

• HighLevel (LeadConnector) — powers our contact forms, case review pop-ups, and booking calendar. Necessary for those to work.
• Google Analytics — tells us how the site is used. Analytics.
• Google Maps — the map showing our North Charleston office. Functional.
• Google Fonts — loads the typefaces this site uses.
• Google Ads — measures advertising performance, where used. Marketing.
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel — measures advertising performance, where used. Marketing.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing what it does with the data it collects. We do not control their cookies.

Which of these are active can change as our advertising changes. If you want to know exactly what is running at a given moment, your browser's developer tools or a cookie-inspection extension will show you.

4.How Long Cookies Last

• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them. Analytics cookies typically last up to about two years; advertising cookies typically last from 30 days to about two years, depending on the provider.

You can delete any cookie at any time through your browser settings.

5.How to Control Cookies

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies:

• Safari — Settings › Privacy › Block all cookies / Prevent cross-site tracking
• Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
• Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
• Mobile — look under Settings › Privacy in your browser app

If you block all cookies, parts of this site will stop working — in particular the case review forms and the booking calendar, which depend on them. If that happens, call us at (843) 732-8141 instead. You should never have to accept a cookie to reach a lawyer.

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no agreed industry standard for responding to it, and this website does not currently respond to it.

7.Consent

By continuing to use this website, you consent to our use of cookies as described here. You can withdraw that consent at any time by changing your browser settings and deleting the cookies already stored.

If you are visiting from the European Union or the United Kingdom, laws there require your consent before non-essential cookies are set. If you are in one of those regions and have concerns about how cookies were set on your visit, please contact us at [email protected].
