Cookies Policy
Tracking technologies, such as cookies, tags, pixels, digital fingerprints, web beacons, and similar scripts, are used to store and/or share information about website visitors, their systems, and browsers. Information collected by cookies and other tracking technologies varies depending on each website's components and can be of a personal nature (information that directly or indirectly identifies you) and of non-personal nature (information that does not directly or indirectly identify any single individual, such as cookies used to enable language settings on a website). Information of a personal nature may include details about the device you are using, the browser you are using, your IP address, the previous website you visited, whether you clicked on one of our ads, and your browsing behavior.
Some of the cookies and tracking technologies that we use are strictly necessary and exist to technically enable the website and its components, as well as enable security measures. Strictly necessary cookies are activated without user consent because they are considered necessary for the website to function effectively and in a secure way. All cookies and other tracking technologies that are not classified as strictly necessary are subject to the consent from website visitors.
This notice is for visitors to our website (e.g. www.bakerbotts.com) (“Cookie Notice”). It outlines information about the cookies (including similar tracking technologies) we use, as well as the categories of information we collect, and the purposes for which the cookies and other tracking technologies collect information.
For further information on how Baker Botts handles Personal Information please see our Privacy Policy.

Cookie List
Our websites use first-party and third-party cookies. We classify these cookies into the following categories:
=> Strictly necessary cookies which provide the service, application, and other essential functionalities of our website.
=> Functional cookies which provide enhanced performance for some website resources and services, as well as adopt a higher level of personalization to the user experience in some cases.
=> Performance cookies which provide quantitative measurements regarding our website and its resources and are used for purposes such as troubleshooting and analytics.
=> Targeting cookies which provide behavioral advertising and re-marketing of analytical data.
Below we show a detailed list of the cookies we use on our websites and the purposes for which we enable each cookie or tracking technology.
We scan our sites regularly with our Cookie Scanner to keep the list as accurate as possible. You should keep in mind that there may be occasional subtle variations when comparing our public list with your scan, as changes can occur depending on the type of browser you are using and your interactions with other websites.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
As noted above, these cookies provide the service, application, or resource requested. Without these cookies, your request cannot be performed appropriately, and our website may not function as expected, or in a secure way. These trackers are set to manage essential actions, such as requesting website visual elements, page resources, or user login/logoff. We also use these cookies to set up essential functionalities to guarantee the security and efficiency of the service requested, like authentication and load balancer requests.

Our Content Delivery Network (CDN)
In addition to the cookies and other tracking technologies described above, our websites use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that enables our website to load correctly and securely reach website visitors.
Our CDN is provided by Cloudflare, a company headquartered in the USA. For more information, please see our Privacy Notice.
Cloudflare's systems collect payload data from HTTP requests, including website visitors' IP addresses. Whereas payload is localized to the region where visitors come from, IP addresses are securely transferred to the Cloudflare servers in the USA, securely stored in volatile storage for a maximum of seven days, and then they are deleted.
Cloudflare uses the Anycast routing technology to enable its CDN functionalities without the need to store or retain any payload data processed during a HTTP request so we can deliver content cached in the nearest Cloudflare's Edge Server. We receive communication from Cloudflare about what kind of element is necessary to load (e.g. HTML elements like text, fonts, and layout) due to a user's visit to our website.
Retention of Information
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Cookie Notice.
Legal Basis for Cookies
We rely on your consent as the legal basis for setting and reading all cookies and similar technologies except those that are strictly necessary for the operation and security of our website. For strictly necessary cookies, our legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functioning website.
International Transfers
Some of our service providers—including analytics, CDN, and embedded content providers—process Personal Information in countries outside your own, including the United States. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
Managing Your Cookie Settings
To the extent that it is technically feasible, and insofar as trackers are not related to any strictly necessary purposes, we will block all non-essential trackers until you provide your consent, as we operate our sites on a strict opt-in basis to safeguard and respect your privacy.
These include all trackers used for marketing and analytics, as well as targeted advertising. Please note, however, that accepting only necessary cookies may mean that some features are unavailable or will not work properly and therefore may affect your browsing experience when compared with a user who has accepted these functionalities.
Before using our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner where you can choose to, 'Accept All Cookies’, ‘Essential Only’ or 'Cookie Settings’ for a more tailored approach to cookie management.
If you do consent to the use of non-essential trackers, you can customize and withdraw your consent granularly at any time (except concerning strictly necessary cookies) in our Cookies Preference Center where you can specify which cookies and tracking technologies you consent to.
You can also manage your cookie preferences by interacting with the floating cookie icon located on the bottom left-hand side of the web page.
For cookies and similar technologies that are classified as strictly necessary, due to the essential nature of such technologies in our application, you will not be able to disable them in our Preference Center. The banner and Preference center provides you with notice and transparency about our usage of strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies used in order to provide the service requested.
