Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 2025
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners about how visitors interact with their content.
How SmartSignify Uses Cookies
SmartSignify uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as theme preferences (light/dark mode) and session management. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
Examples: Theme preference, session identifiers
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools (including Vercel Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our content. This data is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify individual users from this information. It helps us understand which content is most useful and how we can improve the site.
Examples: Vercel Analytics, page view tracking
Performance Cookies
These cookies help us measure the performance of our pages, including loading speeds, error rates, and core web vitals. This information is used to improve site performance and user experience.
Examples: Performance monitoring, error logging
Affiliate & Marketing Tracking
When you click an affiliate link and proceed to a partner retailer, that retailer may set cookies to track the referral and attribute any resulting purchase to SmartSignify. These cookies are set by third-party retailers, not by SmartSignify directly. We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising or ad targeting on our own site.
Examples: Amazon Associates, Impact, CJ Affiliate tracking
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on SmartSignify are placed by third-party services we use. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern their use of cookie data. We have no control over the cookies set by third-party services, including those placed by affiliate networks when you follow an outbound link from our site.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored and delete them individually or in bulk
- Block third-party cookies from being set
- Block all cookies from specific websites
- Clear all cookies when you close your browser
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website. In particular, disabling essential cookies (such as those used for theme preferences) may cause certain site features to stop working correctly.
Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature. SmartSignify does not currently respond to DNT signals as there is no industry-wide standard for how they should be interpreted. We have described our data collection practices in full in this policy and in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when the policy was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
