1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, smartphone, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work efficiently, provide personalized content, and gather analytics on how users navigate the platform.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, United Settlement) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality (such as advertising, interactive content, and web analytics) to be provided on or through the website.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We utilize both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device until deleted or until they expire) for the following purposes:
A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into a portal, filling out web forms (e.g., requesting a debt relief consultation), or navigating through secure areas.

These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners (e.g., ad networks, social media platforms). They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements for United Settlement services on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
