  1. Cookies, Web Beacons & Other Technologies

Cookies: We, as well as our website analytics, optimization, and marketing partners, may use Internet technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, and Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage to collect information about your computer or device and your online activity.

 

We use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize pages on our Websites, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.

 

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the LRM, CPA, LLC Website you visit. LRM, CPA, LLC keeps track of the Websites and pages you visit within LRM, CPA, LLC, in order to determine what portion of the Website is the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and promotions within LRM, CPA, LLC to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

 

Cookies can be used to help recognize your browser across different web pages, websites, and browsing sessions and to personalize and improve your experience on the Website.  For example, cookies are used in order to:

  • Allow us to gather aggregated statistical data about the use of our Website;

  • Help us improve your navigation of our Website;

  • Enable us to store your preferences for certain kinds of information and marketing offers;

  • Help us to provide features such as personalized offers or ads that we believe may be of interest to you;

  • Allow us to store your username and customer identification number so that we recognize you when you return to our Website; and

  • Help us understand the effectiveness of our online advertisements.

 

Web beacons and other Internet technologies:  Web beacons are small pieces of code placed on Web pages, videos, and in emails that can communicate information about your browser and device to a server.  Web beacons can be used, among other things, to count the users who visit a Web page or read an email, or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a user viewing a Web page or email.  Local Shared Objects are similar to cookies in that they are stored on your device and can be used to maintain information about your activities and preferences. 

 

Our Website may use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, in order to better understand your use of our Website and how we can make improvements. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit a website, what pages you visit when you do so, and what other websites you used prior to coming to such website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit a website, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with your personal information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit a website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Website is governed by the Google Analytics privacy terms.

Data Security

The security of customer information is very important to us, and we have implemented a number of reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls. LRM, CPA, LLC follows accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted, both during transmission and once LRM, CPA, LLC receives the Personal Information. When sensitive Personal Information (such as a account number) is collected on our Websites and/or transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the web page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. We limit access to those employees who assist us in providing the services you order. The computers/servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

 

However, you should understand that there is no such thing as complete security, and LRM, CPA, LLC does not guarantee that there will be no unintended disclosures of your Personal Information.
