What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit websites. They help websites remember information about your visit, making your browsing experience more efficient and allowing sites to function properly.

Cookies can store various types of information, from essential session data to preferences and usage patterns. They're widely used across the internet to improve website functionality and user experience.

How We Use Cookies

SmartCrack Level uses cookies to enhance your experience on our website, understand how visitors interact with our content, and improve our services. We use different types of cookies for different purposes, as detailed below.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function correctly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility.

Essential cookies are typically set in response to your actions, such as adjusting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in information. You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the website may not function properly as a result.

Examples include:

• Cookie consent preferences
• Session management
• Security features

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This data helps us improve the website's functionality and content.

Information collected may include:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• How you arrived at our website
• Devices and browsers used to access the site
• General geographic location (country or city level)

This information is aggregated and anonymised, meaning we cannot identify individual users from this data.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track your visits to our website and other sites to build a profile of your interests. This allows us to display more relevant advertising and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

These cookies may be set by our advertising partners and can be used to build a profile across multiple websites. They don't store directly identifiable personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services we use. These might include analytics providers, advertising networks, or social media platforms.

Third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we have no control over their cookies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you encounter.

Duration of Cookies

Cookies have different lifespans depending on their purpose:

Session Cookies

These temporary cookies expire when you close your browser. They help the website remember your actions during a single browsing session.

Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They remember your preferences across multiple visits, improving your experience on return visits.

The duration of persistent cookies varies based on their purpose, ranging from a few days to several years. Our cookie preference settings, for example, persist for one year.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies on our website:

Cookie Preference Centre

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner asking for your consent. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or access detailed settings to choose which categories you're comfortable with.

You can change your preferences at any time through the cookie settings available in our website footer.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• See which cookies are stored and delete them individually or all at once
• Block third-party cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites
• Block all cookies
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that blocking all cookies may impact your ability to use certain features of our website and others.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals websites you visit that you prefer not to be tracked. Currently, there is no industry standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, and our website does not specifically respond to these signals.

However, you can use our cookie preference centre to limit tracking through analytics and marketing cookies.

Consent and Legal Basis

We use essential cookies based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional website. For non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing), we rely on your explicit consent, which you provide through our cookie banner or preference centre.

You can withdraw consent at any time by changing your cookie preferences. Withdrawing consent doesn't affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
