Cookie Fundamentals
Plain Language Guide
Small files with practical storefront functions.
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and identifiers that perform related functions.
These are set directly through the Smartion website and are commonly used for storefront operation, preferences, consent records, analytics, and customer experience functions.
These may be placed by service providers that support checkout, payment processing, analytics, advertising measurement, embedded content, fraud prevention, or other site features.
Session cookies usually expire when you close your browser. They may help maintain temporary activity such as navigation state, checkout progress, or cart continuity.
Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until removed. They may remember preferences, recognize a returning browser, or support measurement over time.
