Cookie policy

## What cookies are Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences or understand how pages are used. ## How we use cookies Smartnetworkingsolutions uses **essential** cookies required for basic operation (including remembering your cookie consent choice) and, only if you accept, **analytics** cookies to understand aggregate visit patterns. Rejecting non-essential cookies does not block browsing, forms, or content. Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key `smartnetworkingsolutions_cookie_consent`. ## Cookies table | Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider | |------|---------|----------|----------| | `smartnetworkingsolutions_cookie_consent` | Stores Accept / Reject preference for the cookie banner | Until cleared (localStorage) | Smartnetworkingsolutions | | `sns_session` | Maintains basic site session integrity for form tokens where used | Session | Smartnetworkingsolutions | | `_ga` | Distinguishes visitors for aggregate analytics (only if accepted) | Up to 2 years | Google Analytics | | `_gid` | Distinguishes visitors for short-term analytics (only if accepted) | 24 hours | Google Analytics | Essential items run regardless of analytics consent. Analytics cookies are not set when you choose Reject. ## Managing and disabling cookies You can: - Use **Accept** or **Reject** on our cookie banner - Clear site data / localStorage for smartnetworkingsolutions.digital in your browser settings - Block or delete cookies via your browser’s privacy controls Browser instructions differ (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Consult your browser’s help documentation for cookie settings. ## Third-party cookies If you accept analytics, Google may set cookies as described above and process data under its own policies. We do not control third-party storage beyond our consent signal. See also our [privacy policy](/privacy/). ## Impact of disabling Disabling essential storage may cause the cookie banner to reappear on each visit. Disabling analytics only affects our ability to measure traffic; all public pages, engagement information, and the contact form remain available. ## Updates We may update this page when cookie practices change.
