This Cookie Policy explains how SmartGen (smartgentools.com) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This policy is designed to be fully compliant with global data protection regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and Google AdSense requirements.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you donât have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SmartGen) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2. Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
