All About Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your computer (or other device, such as a smartphone or tablet), when you visit a website. Cookies have many uses – they can be used to identify a user’s device, remember settings or preferences and to make navigation of web pages easier for users. They – and other information they provide – can also allow the owners of sites to track behaviour, improve security settings or display tailored content. There are different types of cookie – session cookies (which are deleted after you leave the browser window) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period of time or until deleted). Some cookies are set by websites you are visiting (first party cookies), others may be set by services in use on that website (third party cookies).

How We Use Cookies On The Sites and App

Public Notary 109 uses cookies through its site (https://np109.com/) and mobile apps (available through iOS and Android), designed to facilitate your interactions and bring efficiencies to our services. For example, when you visit our online appointment booking system, cookies help recall your preferred slots or previous booking parameters to eliminate repeated entries. The notarial costs calculator uses cookies to store your session data and deliver the calculations continuously without having to re-enter the same information repeatedly. If you use our mobile offering, certain cookies are used by us in order to deliver you push notifications and bundled in-app messaging, keeping you up to speed on pertinent legal updates, appointment evolution, or even just an update on the status of your current request. We also use cookies to retain usage metrics which help guide our ongoing development, improvement and digital service delivery.

You can opt to accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or select individual cookies as per your specific needs. The cookies settings on most web browsers also allow you to control cookies. This means that you can choose to accept or decline cookies at any time, or delete them if necessary. Instructions on how to handle cookies in your browser are available via its help menu or reputable websites can assist with step-by-step instructions. Please note that disabling some cookies might compromise one or more functions of our website, including access to specific features such as the fee calculator or appointment scheduler functionality.

Cookies, Tracking and Personal Data

Public Notary 109 is committed to ensuring the protection of your personal information. In addition to being able to collect anonymous or aggregate data, some cookies may also be able to process information that directly or indirectly relates to an identifiable individual, such as user preferences, IP addresses, etc. All personally identifiable data processed by use of the aforementioned cookies is done in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law in the United States. Public Notary 109 will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information against misuse, disclosure or appropriation without authorization.

Third-Party Cookies and Third-Party List Integration

Those third parties may directly set cookies on your system when you view their content via our website (e.g., by ‘liking’ or ‘sharing’ a web page or clicking on a social media button). We carefully vet all of our partners to ensure that they meet high privacy standards; however, we do not control third-party provider cookies. We encourage you to review the cookie policies of such providers for information about their practices. You may use your browser settings, or the consent management functions available on our website itself, to manage or block third-party cookies.
