01 Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Smart RWD Web ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on smartrwdweb.com (the "Site").

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

02 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly, remember your preferences, and gather aggregate statistics about how the site is used.

Cookies can be classified by their lifespan:

  • Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — are covered by this policy too.

03 Legal Framework

We aim to comply with global data protection laws, including:

  • EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, as amended) — requires prior consent for non-essential cookies.
  • EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — governs how personal data collected via cookies is processed.
  • UK GDPR and PECR — equivalent UK legislation.
  • India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) — governs processing of digital personal data of Indian residents.
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) — for California residents, including the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.
Important: For visitors from the EU, UK, and similar jurisdictions, we do not set non-essential cookies until you actively consent via our cookie banner. Browsing the site alone is not consent.

04 Cookies We Use

We group cookies into four categories based on their purpose:

Category Purpose Consent Required?
Strictly Necessary Required for the Site to function — session management, security (CSRF protection), load balancing, and remembering your cookie preferences. No
Analytics / Performance Help us understand how visitors use the Site — pages viewed, time on page, errors encountered. Data is aggregated. Provider: Google Analytics 4. Yes
Functional Remember your preferences — language, region, form state, and display settings. Yes
Marketing / Advertising Used to deliver relevant advertising, measure campaign performance, and prevent ad fraud. Yes

Specific Cookies We Set

Cookie Name Category Purpose Duration
PHPSESSID Necessary Maintains your session while you browse the Site. Session
cookie_consent Necessary Stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask again on every visit. 12 months
_ga Analytics Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users. 13 months
_ga_<ID> Analytics Google Analytics 4 — maintains session state. 13 months
_gid Analytics Google Analytics — distinguishes users (legacy). 24 hours

If you do not see a cookie in this table, it may be set by a third-party service as described in Section 05.

05 Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use to operate and improve the Site. These third parties may also combine the information they collect with data from other sources.

Provider Purpose Their Policy
Google (Analytics) Website traffic analysis Google Privacy Policy
Google (reCAPTCHA) Spam and bot protection on forms Google Privacy Policy
Hostinger Web hosting infrastructure Hostinger Privacy Policy

We have no control over cookies set by third parties. Please refer to their policies for details.

06 Your Consent

When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie banner asking you to accept, reject, or customize cookies. No non-essential cookies are set until you make a choice.

Your consent is opt-in and freely given.
· You can reject all non-essential cookies with one click.
· You can accept or reject categories individually.
· You can withdraw consent at any time — see Section 07.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time:

Note: if the button above does not open the consent panel, your browser may be blocking the consent script — you can still manage cookies via your browser settings (see Section 08).

07 Managing & Deleting Cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

  • Cookie banner — click "Manage Cookie Preferences" in Section 06 above to change or withdraw your choices.
  • Browser settings — block or delete cookies directly in your browser. See Section 08 for step-by-step guides.
  • Opt-out tools — for analytics and advertising cookies, you can use industry opt-out tools such as aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com .

Please note: blocking certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. For example, disabling necessary cookies may prevent you from submitting our contact form.

08 Browser Cookie Guides

For instructions on managing cookies in your browser:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Opera

For mobile browsers, refer to your device's help documentation.

09 Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will:

  • Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
  • Where required, reset cookie consent and re-ask for your preferences.
  • Post a prominent notice on the Site if the change is significant.
