Cookies Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, work in the same way. They help a website remember your actions and preferences and understand how the site is used.

Cookies can be "session" cookies, which disappear when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.

Why we use them

Cookies let us keep the website fast, secure and easy to use. They help us remember that you have already seen a message, protect forms from abuse and measure which pages are helpful, so that we can spend our time improving the pages people actually read. We only use cookies for purposes described in this policy.

Cookies we use

We keep the use of cookies to a minimum. The categories are:

Essential: needed for the website to work, for example to keep pages secure and to keep you signed in to the admin area where applicable. These cannot be switched off.
Preferences: remember your choices. For example, when you dismiss the language banner, we save that choice in your browser's local storage so the banner does not appear again.
Analytics: if enabled, we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are visited and how the site performs. The data is aggregated and helps us improve the website.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal data, and we do not use them to read anything stored on your device outside our own website.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties such as analytics providers or embedded services. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy policies of those providers. The panel at my.smmtarget.net may use its own cookies to keep you logged in and to protect your session, and those cookies are described in the panel's own terms.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers also let you choose to be warned before a cookie is stored, or to accept cookies only from sites you trust.

Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the website from working.
Clearing local storage will make the language banner appear again.
If analytics is enabled, you can also install your browser's opt-out tools to stop analytics tracking.

Because settings differ between browsers and devices, please check your browser's help pages for exact instructions.

Retention of cookies

How long a cookie lasts depends on its purpose. Some are deleted when you close your browser, and others stay longer so that your preferences are remembered on your next visit. You can delete any cookie at any time in your browser settings without affecting your account in the panel.

Where the law requires your consent for non-essential cookies, we ask for it before setting them, and you can withdraw it at any time by clearing your browser data or changing your browser settings. Essential cookies do not require consent because the website cannot work properly without them.

Changes

We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes, for example when we add a new tool or service. The date at the top of the page shows the latest revision, and we encourage you to review it from time to time.
