Collection of Information

I.  Articura Legal's site collects certain information about visitors to its site, even when they are not logged in, such as your IP address, the URLs of the websites and pages you visit before, during and after your visit to Articura Legal's site, the times and dates of such visits, information about the computer hardware and software you use and other information that may be available. Also, Articura Legal's site may place “cookies” on your computer to recognize you on return. The reasons for the aforementioned data collection are two-fold: (1) to enable Articura Legal to enhance your browsing experience, and (2) to provide Articura Legal with information about your visit to its site. You may adjust your browser settings or use other means to prevent cookies from being placed on your computer; however, if you choose to do so, it may result in reduced functionality of the site and a less personalized browsing experience. In any case, as noted above, Articura Legal works diligently to ensure the security of the information it collects from you to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure thereof to unaffiliated third parties. The extent to which Articura Legal uses the information it collects from you is discussed more thoroughly below in the section entitled "Use of Information."
