What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website operators information about how visitors use the site.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on smartcogai.com, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes, which fall into the following categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic site functionality. These cookies do not collect personal information used for marketing purposes. Because they are necessary for the site to work, these cookies cannot be disabled.
Examples include session cookies that maintain your browsing session, CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection tokens that keep forms secure, and authentication cookies that keep you logged in if you have an account.
Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and choices to provide a more personalized experience. They are not strictly necessary for the site to function, but they improve your experience.
Examples include your theme preference (light or dark mode), language preferences, and previously dismissed banners or notifications.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting information about which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and where they come from. This data is used in aggregate form to improve the website. We do not use analytics cookies to identify individual visitors.
[If you use Google Analytics, Plausible, or another tool, list it here. Example:]
We use [Analytics Tool Name] to collect anonymized website usage data. This tool may set cookies on your device to distinguish unique visitors and track session information.
Marketing Cookies
[If you do not currently run marketing/retargeting cookies, use this text:]
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on smartcogai.com. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and request your consent before placing any marketing cookies on your device.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services that we use. These services may include our analytics provider, Cloudflare (for security and performance optimization), and our payment provider's checkout interface, if present on the page.
Each of these third parties has its own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review their policies for more information about how they handle data.
SmartCog Chat Widget Cookies
If you interact with a SmartCog-powered chatbot on a Customer's website, the chat widget may use cookies or local storage to maintain your conversation session across page navigations, remember that the chat window was open or closed, and store a session identifier for continuity.
These are classified as strictly necessary or functional cookies for the operation of the chat widget.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit smartcogai.com, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings icon that remains accessible on the site.
