J.C. ERNST AND COMPANY
WEBSITE COOKIE POLICY
Effective Date: October 24, 2026 | Last Updated: October 24, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how J.C. Ernst and Company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on its primary website (the "Website"). The Website may introduce or link to separate ventures, brands, and businesses. Unless a linked site expressly adopts this Policy, that site may have its own privacy and cookie practices.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, or other tools that recognize a device or help measure website performance. Some cookies are set by us (first-party cookies); others may be set by outside service providers (third-party cookies).
2. How We May Use Cookies
Depending on the Website’s configuration, we may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, maintain security, understand how visitors use pages, and improve content and performance. We will not use every category described below unless the corresponding technology has actually been enabled on the Website.
3. Categories of Cookies
|
Category |
Purpose / examples |
|
Strictly necessary |
Support essential functions such as website delivery, security, load balancing, and form/session functionality. These may be required for the site to work. |
|
Functional / preferences |
Remember settings or preferences, if enabled, such as display choices or other user selections. |
|
Analytics / performance |
Help evaluate traffic, popular pages, page performance, and errors, if an analytics service is enabled. |

Help deliver, measure, or personalize marketing across sites, only if such technology is implemented. |
The categories above describe potential uses, not a verified inventory of cookies currently deployed on the Website.
4. Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until deleted. Actual retention periods depend on the cookie and the provider that sets it.
5. Third-Party Services and Linked Websites
The Website may use services supplied by hosting providers, embedded media platforms, analytics vendors, form services, or security providers. Those providers may set cookies where enabled and permitted. When you follow a link to a separate venture or third-party website, that site’s own policies and choices may apply. We do not control independent third-party cookie practices.
6. Your Cookie Choices
You can usually view, block, or delete cookies in your browser settings. Browser tools differ by device and browser. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause certain features to function incorrectly. Where the Website uses optional cookies that require consent under applicable law, visitors should be offered an appropriate choice before those technologies are activated, and a way to change that choice where required.
7. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals or other privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control. The Website’s response depends on its actual configuration and applicable law.
8. Information Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the services enabled, cookies and related tools may collect technical details such as IP address, device and browser type, approximate location inferred from IP, referring website, pages visited, and interaction or performance data. Some of this information may constitute personal information under applicable law. Please read our Website Privacy Policy for more about handling information and exercising privacy rights.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy as technology, operations, or legal requirements change. We will post the updated Policy here with a revised “Last Updated” date. When required by law, we will provide additional notice or request renewed consent.
