Effective Date: August 8, 2025
At smartago.net, we are committed to providing a simple, secure, and privacy-focused experience. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use on our website.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better browsing experience, and provide information to the website owners.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our website and to understand how our service is used, allowing us to improve it. We do not use cookies for advertising, marketing, or tracking users across other websites.
Specifically, we use the following types of cookies:
  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its core features, such as remembering your language preference, maintaining your logged-in session, and ensuring the security of online payments. For example, if you make a purchase, our payment processor (e.g., Stripe) may use strictly necessary cookies for fraud prevention and secure transaction processing. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
  • Performance & Analytics Cookies: We use these cookies to collect aggregated and anonymized information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand website traffic, identify popular pages, and see where users might encounter issues. For this purpose, we use Google Analytics (with IP anonymization enabled). These cookies help us measure the performance of our website without collecting personally identifiable information.

3. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand website usage. Google sets its own cookies to collect information about your interactions with our site in an aggregated and anonymized format.
Payment Processors: If you make a purchase or subscribe to Premium features, we use secure third-party payment gateways like Stripe. These providers may place strictly necessary cookies on your device to securely process your transaction and prevent fraud.

4. Your Choices and Cookie Consent

For users in regions with relevant data protection laws (such as the EU), we obtain your consent for non-essential cookies. A consent banner will appear on your first visit, allowing you to accept or decline analytics cookies.
You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may cause some features of our website to function incorrectly.
