What are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Like most websites, we use Cookies and Similar Technologies to remember things about you so that we can provide you with a better experience.
- Cookies are small data files created and stored on your browser or device when you visit a website (“Cookies”). They may be served by the entity that operates the website you are visiting (“first-party Cookies”) or by other companies (“third-party Cookies”). For example, we work with third-party advertising and analytics providers, like Google and Meta, which may set Cookies when you visit our websites if you provide your consent for us to use Advertising Cookies or Analytics Cookies (as described below). Some Cookies are temporarily stored on your browser or device and are deleted after you leave the website or close the browser (“session Cookies”), and some Cookies are stored and remain active unless or until they are deleted, or they expire (“persistent/permanent Cookies”).
We use Cookies in combination with similar tools and technologies (“Similar Technologies”) to help us and our third-party advertising and analytics providers better understand how you interact with our Websites to improve our Services and make advertisements more relevant and meaningful to you. Like Cookies, Similar Technologies may be served by the entity that operates the website you are visiting (“first-party Similar Technologies”) or by other companies (“third-party Similar Technologies”). Similar Technologies include but are not limited to:
- Web tags: Small pieces of code that we use to collect data from our Websites. When you perform a particular action on our Website(s), web tags capture relevant data and provide it to third parties, such as our third-party advertising and analytics providers.
- Pixels: Small images placed on our Websites or in our emails. Pixels are often transparent and collect information about your browser or device and can be used to set Cookies.
- Web beacons or tracker pixels: Pixels that we use to target ads and track your behavior on our Websites, such as page views, clicks, and ad interactions.
- Other storage technologies: Allow data to be stored locally on your browser or device, including but not limited to HTML5 local storage and browser cache.
- SDKs: Blocks of code provided by our service providers that may be installed in our mobile applications. SDKs help us understand how you interact with our mobile applications and collect certain information about the device and network you use to access the application.
- Device IDs: If you access our Websites using a mobile device, the advertising identifier associated with your device or other identifiers may be recorded and used for purposes similar to those of Cookies. We do not identify or record a device location without your specific permission.
How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use Cookies and Similar Technologies for a number of reasons, like helping us see which features are most popular, counting visitors to a page, improving our users’ experience, keeping our Services secure, and generally providing you with a better experience. The Cookies and Similar Technologies we use generally fall into one of the following categories.
| Category of Cookies (including Similar Technologies) | Why we use these Cookies (including Similar Technologies) |
|---|---|
| Technical | These Cookies are essential for our services to function properly. Like the other Cookies we use, technical Cookies may be either first-party Cookies or third-party Cookies. |
| Preferences | We use these Cookies to remember your settings and preferences. For example, we may use these Cookies to remember your language preferences. |
| Security | We and our service providers use these Cookies to collect information that helps identify and prevent security risks (including without limitation detecting, investigating, preventing, and addressing possible misconduct or irregularities). |
| Performance | We and our marketing and analytics service providers use these Cookies to collect information about how you interact with our Services and to track your behavior while using our Services. For example, we may use these Cookies to determine if and when you have interacted with a certain page or feature, how long you interacted with it, information about the device and software you used to interact with it, etc. |
| Analytics | We and our marketing and analytics service providers use these Cookies to collect information that helps us understand how our Services are used and to improve our Services, while also allowing us to develop and improve new Services.

For example, when you use our Websites to create an ý account or complete a purchase of an ý product or service (e.g., registering for the LSAT, subscribing to the Credential Assembly Service, etc.), we may collect Personal Information you enter into our registration forms (such as your name, email address, country of residence, zip code, etc.), and we and our third-party advertising and analytics providers (e.g., Google and Meta) may use Analytics Cookies and/or Advertising Cookies along with Similar Technologies (e.g., web beacons and other storage technologies) to collect or receive additional information, including Personal Information, from our Websites and elsewhere on the Internet, which we use to provide measurement services and to target and deliver ads . These Cookies and Similar Technologies de-identify your Personal Information and transmit your de-identified Personal Information to our marketing and advertising service providers.
Similarly, if you provide some of this Personal Information offline (e.g., if you provide Personal Information while creating an ý account over the phone), we may combine it with Personal Information and other information we collected from you online through Analytics Cookies and/or Advertising Cookies and Similar Technologies, and we may transmit the combined data to our marketing and advertising service providers in a de-identified format.
Our marketing and advertising service providers may use the de-identified Personal Information and other information we transmit to them in combination with other Personal Information and other information we collect from you through Analytics Cookies and/or Advertising Cookies and Similar Technologies (e.g., your IP address and geolocation data) and with Personal Information and other information they independently collected from you to help them and ý comply with applicable laws, determine the effectiveness of marketing and advertising services, and deliver advertisements that are more relevant and meaningful to you.
