Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 15, 2025
What This Policy Covers
When you visit smart-neuron.com, we use different tracking technologies to make your experience smoother and to understand how people interact with our site. This isn't about surveillance—it's about making things work better.
Cookies are small text files that sit on your device. They remember things like your preferences or how you navigate through pages. Some are essential for the site to function. Others help us see patterns so we can improve what we offer.
Why We Use Tracking Technologies
Here's the thing: websites need some basic tools to function properly. Without certain cookies, you'd have to re-enter information every time you click to another page. That gets old fast.
Beyond the basics, we also want to know what's working and what isn't. If everyone leaves the site from a particular page, that tells us something important. We can fix problems we wouldn't otherwise notice.
We don't sell your browsing data to third parties. The information we collect stays with us and serves one purpose: improving your experience on our site.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. They handle things like security, load balancing, and remembering what's in your session. You can't turn these off without breaking core functionality. Think of them as the site's operating system.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—language preference, region settings, things like that. They make return visits feel more personalized without us having to ask you the same questions twice.
Analytical Cookies
We use these to understand traffic patterns. Which pages get the most attention? Where do people spend time? Where do they bounce? This helps us refine content and structure. The data is aggregated, not personal.
Marketing Cookies
If you've seen our content elsewhere online after visiting our site, that's these at work. They track visits across websites to show relevant content. You have control over whether these run or not.
What Gets Tracked
We collect information about how you move through the site. Pages visited, time spent, links clicked. We see browser type, device type, operating system. We log IP addresses to understand geographic distribution.
- Session data: What happens during your visit from start to finish
- Device information: Screen size, browser version, whether you're on mobile or desktop
- Interaction patterns: Which buttons get clicked, how far people scroll, where they exit
- Referral sources: How you found us—search engine, direct link, social media
- Geographic location: Country and city level, not precise coordinates
None of this identifies you personally unless you've provided contact information through a form. Even then, we keep that separate from browsing behavior data.
How Long Data Stays Active
Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies disappear when you close your browser. Others stick around longer because they need to remember your preferences for future visits.
| Cookie Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session only | Site functionality and security |
| Functional | 12 months | Preference storage |
| Analytical | 24 months | Usage pattern analysis |
| Marketing | 6-12 months | Targeted content delivery |
Once a cookie expires, it's automatically deleted. You can also clear them manually anytime through your browser settings.
Your Control Options
You're not locked into accepting everything we set. Modern browsers give you granular control over what runs and what doesn't.
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
You can block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or review each one individually. Just know that blocking essential cookies will break some site features.
Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting. We respect that signal when it's turned on, though it doesn't prevent essential cookies from functioning.
Third-Party Tools
We use a few external services that set their own cookies. Google Analytics helps us understand site traffic. These tools have their own privacy policies, which you should review if you want complete transparency.
When you interact with embedded content—videos, maps, social media widgets—those platforms may also set cookies. That's outside our direct control, but we choose partners carefully.
Changes to This Policy
We update this document when our tracking practices change or when regulations require it. The date at the top shows when the last revision happened. Major changes will be noted clearly rather than buried in fine print.
If we start using cookies in fundamentally different ways, we'll let you know through a site notice or direct communication if we have your contact information.
