Smart-Sure Website Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the owners of the site. They are a bit like a website's short-term memory, allowing it to remember things about you for a short time.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. This includes:

  • Making sure our website works correctly and is easy to navigate.
  • Remembering your preferences, so you don't have to re-enter information every time you visit.
  • Analysing how our website is being used, which helps us understand what content is most popular and how we can improve our services.
  • Providing content that is more relevant to your interests, such as showing you targeted advertisements.

3. The types of cookies we use

We use both 'session' cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and 'persistent' cookies (which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them). The cookies on our site generally fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages are visited most often and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We only use this data to improve how our website works.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
  • Targeting or Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator's permission.

4. Your choices - how to manage cookies

You have the power to control and manage cookies. Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. Please be aware that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our website may become inaccessible or not function properly.
