Cookie Policy
This page explains the cookies used on akhiezerlaw.com and how to control them. Last updated: October 27, 2026.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site recognize your browser on later visits.
Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called first-party cookies. The Google Analytics cookies on this site are first-party cookies: they are stored under akhiezerlaw.com, and the information they help collect is sent to Google for processing.
Cookies on this site
The only cookies set for visitors are Google Analytics cookies, and only with consent where it is required.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another to count visits | 2 years |
| _ga_51WXNE715X | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current visit (session) | 2 years |
Your cookie choice is remembered in your browser’s local storage under the name ak_consent, so the banner does not appear on every page. Site administrators also receive WordPress login cookies when they sign in; ordinary visitors do not.
Consent
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland see a banner and can accept or reject analytics cookies. Until they accept, Google Analytics does not store cookies on their device. For other visitors, analytics cookies are on by default, and anyone can turn them off.
How to change your choice
- Click Cookie settings here or at the bottom of any page
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings
- Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
More about how information is handled is in the Privacy Policy.
Why this site uses analytics
Analytics shows which articles readers find useful, which topics to write about next, and whether pages load and display properly on phones and computers. It is not used for advertising, and Google signals and advertising features are turned off.
No cookies are needed to use the site
Every page works without cookies. There are no logins, shopping carts or forms for visitors, so rejecting analytics cookies does not limit what you can read or do on the site.
Your choice on each device
Your cookie choice is stored in the browser you are using, not in an account. If you visit from another device or browser, or clear your browser data, you will need to make your choice again. You can change it at any time through Cookie settings.
How analytics works with and without consent
With your consent, Google Analytics uses the cookies above to recognize repeat visits and to measure how people move through the site, which pages they read and for how long. Reports are aggregated; I do not see who you are.
Without consent, Google’s Consent Mode stops analytics cookies from being written or read. Google may still receive basic signals, such as the fact that a page was loaded, without cookies or identifiers. Google uses these only in aggregated or modeled form.
Global Privacy Control
If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal and you have not made a choice in the cookie banner, analytics cookies are turned off for you automatically. You can still turn them on through Cookie settings if you wish.
Links to other websites
Articles link to outside sites such as the USPTO, the courts and LinkedIn. This site does not embed their content, so they cannot set cookies while you are reading here. If you follow a link, the other site’s own cookie and privacy policies apply.
Managing cookies in your browser
In Chrome, Edge and Firefox, look under Privacy (or Privacy and security) in Settings. In Safari, open Settings and then Privacy. From there you can block cookies or delete those already stored. This site does not need cookies to display pages, so blocking them will not stop it from working.
Changes and questions
If the cookies used on this site change, this page and the date at the top will be updated. For questions, contact me through a message on LinkedIn.
