Cookie Policy
What this website stores in your browser, and why.
Effective date: 29 September 2026 · Version: 1.0 · Sunbots Innovations LLP
In short
- Only essential storage is used until you make a choice in the cookie banner.
- Analytics (Google Analytics 4, Hotjar) and marketing (Meta Pixel) scripts are injected only after you accept that category. Declining them changes nothing about how the site works.
- If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal we treat analytics and marketing as declined automatically.
- You can change your mind at any time from Cookie settings in the footer of every page.
Cookies and browser storage we use
“Cookies” below includes similar technologies such as localStorage. Names containing <id> vary per site or account.
| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
smarton_consent_v1 (localStorage) | SMARTON | Essential | Stores your cookie choice, the policy version it was made under and the timestamp, so we do not ask again and never load optional trackers you declined. | Until you clear browser storage or change your choice. We ask again if the consent version changes. |
smarton-ui-theme (localStorage) | SMARTON | Essential | Remembers your light / dark / system theme preference. | Until you clear browser storage. |
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Distinguishes visitors so page views can be counted (IP addresses are anonymised). | 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Keeps the current session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
_hjSessionUser_<site-id> | Hotjar | Analytics | Recognises a returning browser so heatmaps and privacy-masked session recordings are attributed to one anonymous user. | 1 year |
_hjSession_<site-id> | Hotjar | Analytics | Holds data for the current Hotjar session. | 30 minutes |
_hjFirstSeen | Hotjar | Analytics | Identifies a new user's first session. | 30 minutes |
_fbp | Meta Pixel | Marketing | Identifies browsers so Meta can measure the results of our advertising campaigns. Considered “sharing” under the California Privacy Rights Act. | 90 days |
_fbc | Meta Pixel | Marketing | Stores the click identifier when you arrive from a Meta advertisement. | 90 days |
YouTube embed cookies | Google / YouTube | Third-party embed | Set by YouTube only when you play an embedded video on our site. Governed by Google's privacy policy. | Per Google's policy |
How to change or withdraw your choice
- Cookie settings in the footer reopens the banner's Manage panel. Switching a category off stops that tracker for the rest of your visit and expires its cookies; a page reload completes the clean-up.
- Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information opens the same panel with marketing switched off, for the California opt-out.
- Global Privacy Control: enable it in your browser or extension and we will apply the opt-out automatically on every visit.
- Browser controls: you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Essential storage keeps the site working; deleting it only means we ask for your choice again.
The SMARTON mobile app
The app does not use browser cookies. It uses software development kits (SDKs) for crash reporting and, only if you switch it on under Settings → Privacy and data, product analytics (PostHog, hosted by Sunbots in India; Firebase Analytics). These are described in section 10 of our Privacy Policy and on the Sub-processors page.
