Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Southern California Justice Center (“SCJC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on socaljusticecenter.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the owners of the site. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, local storage, and software development kits (“SDKs”), which we collectively refer to as “cookies” in this policy unless otherwise noted.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure form submission, and access to secure areas of the Site. The Site cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off through our cookie preference tools.

2.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors encounter error messages. We use this information to improve how the Site works. These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies a visitor; all information collected is aggregated and anonymous.

2.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

2.4 Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are typically placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, and embedded content providers. We do not control the placement of these cookies or have direct access to the data collected by these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties for more information.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by:

  • Adjusting your cookie consent choices through any cookie banner or preference tool presented on the Site;
  • Setting or amending your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies, as described in Section 5 below;

Please note that browser settings and menu names may change over time; consult your browser’s help documentation for the most current instructions.

6. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how online services should respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond differently based on a detected DNT signal. We will update this policy if our practices change.

7. Changes to This Policy
