What this site collects, why we collect it, and how to turn it off.
Last updated August 28, 2026.
This page explains what information this website collects, why, and what happens to it. It is written to be read rather than to be impressive, and it describes what the site actually does.
We collect two things: what you send us through the contact form, and basic information about how visitors find and move through the site. We do not sell any of it, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not use it to build a profile of you. Analytics data is handled by Google; everything else stays with the firm.
If you use the contact form, we receive the name, phone number, email address and description of your situation that you choose to enter. That message is delivered to the firm by email and is reviewed by an attorney or staff member.
Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive details through this form. Email is not a secure channel, and until we have run a conflicts check and agreed in writing to represent you, no attorney-client relationship exists. That is a real limitation, not a formality — see the section below.
Google Analytics. This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit, which pages they read, and roughly where they are located. Google sets its own cookies for this purpose and processes that data under its own privacy terms. We see aggregate reports, not individual identities.
Our own attribution cookie. We set a single first-party cookie named se_attr that lasts 90 days. It records the first page you landed on, the site that referred you (for example a search engine), any campaign tag in the link you clicked, a count of visits, and the dates. If you later submit the contact form, that information is attached to your message so we can tell which pages and which advertising are actually helping people find us.
That cookie contains no name, email address, phone number or account identifier. It is never sent to a third party and it is never sold. Its entire purpose is to let a small firm tell whether its own marketing is working.
Server logs. Our web host records standard request logs, including IP addresses, as part of operating and securing the site.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, and the site will continue to work normally — the form still sends, the pages still load. Browsers set to send a Do Not Track or global privacy signal, and browsers with tracking protection or ad blockers enabled, will typically prevent both the analytics and the attribution cookie from being set. We do not attempt to work around those settings.
To remove the attribution cookie specifically, clear cookies for this site in your browser.
The attribution cookie expires on its own after 90 days. Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention period configured in that product. Contact-form messages are retained as part of the firm's records; where we decline a matter, we keep only what is necessary to run future conflicts checks.
This is worth stating plainly because it protects you as much as us. Sending a message through this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. We cannot agree to represent you until we have checked for conflicts of interest and both sides have signed a written agreement.
Under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, information you share as a prospective client is treated as confidential even if we never take your case — and it can also prevent us from representing someone else. That is a good reason to keep an initial message brief and general, and to save the details for a conversation.
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (Business & Commerce Code Chapter 541) applies to businesses that are not small businesses as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Sadovsky & Ellis, PLLC is a small business, so most of that chapter does not apply to us. The obligation that does apply to small businesses — Section 541.107, which prohibits selling sensitive personal data without consent — we satisfy by not selling data at all.
Regardless of what the statute requires, if you want to know what information we hold about you, or want it deleted, write to us at the address below and we will handle it.
If we change how this site collects information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
