Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 28, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SmartBuy.app (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your choices for managing them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide reporting information to site owners. Cookies do not contain personal data that identifies you to anyone outside the site that set them, unless you have provided that information directly.
How We Use Cookies
SmartBuy.app uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies — required for the site to function. These power your shopping cart, login session, and language preference. The site will not work correctly without them.
- Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand which articles readers find useful, where traffic comes from, and how to improve content. Aggregate, anonymized data only — we do not track individuals across the web.
- Affiliate & cashback tracking cookies — when you click an outbound link to Amazon, AliExpress, Hostinger, or another partner, a small cookie records that you came from SmartBuy.app. This allows us to earn a commission on qualifying purchases and to credit any cashback offered through our cashback program. The cookie does not record what you buy or share that information with us.
- Preference cookies — remember your chosen language, dark/light mode, and which cookie banner choices you have already made so we do not ask again.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third parties whose services appear on our pages, including:
- Google (Analytics, AdSense once enabled, reCAPTCHA on forms)
- Amazon Associates and other affiliate networks
- Cashback partners we integrate with
- OneSignal for optional browser notifications
- Embedded YouTube, Pexels, and social-media widgets
Each of these third parties operates under its own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control how they use cookie data after it is set.
Managing & Disabling Cookies
You have several ways to control cookies on SmartBuy.app:
- Cookie banner — when you first visit, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser data for smartbuy.app.
- Browser settings — every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Search for “cookies” in your browser’s settings menu. Note that disabling essential cookies will break features such as login and language selection.
- Affiliate & analytics opt-outs — you can opt out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally to reflect new technologies we adopt or changes in regulations. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the most recent revision took effect. Continued use of SmartBuy.app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
