Cookie policy
This page explains what cookies are, which ones smartnetlab.digital may use, and how you can accept or reject non-essential cookies.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep basic functions working, and — if you allow — understand how pages are used.
How we use cookies
Smartnetlab uses essential cookies required for core operation (such as remembering your cookie choice) and optional analytics cookies that help us see which articles and engagement pages are read. Analytics cookies are not set unless you choose Accept on the banner. Rejecting optional cookies does not block browsing, forms, or content.
Cookie table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| smartnetlab_cookie_consent | Stores whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies | 1 year (localStorage) | Smartnetlab |
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for aggregated analytics (only if accepted) | Up to 2 years | Google Analytics (if enabled) |
| _gid | Distinguishes visitors for short-term analytics (only if accepted) | 24 hours | Google Analytics (if enabled) |
Essential vs analytics
Essential storage keeps your consent choice so the banner does not reappear on every visit. Analytics cookies, when accepted, measure page views and referral paths. They are not used to sell advertising profiles.
Third-party cookies
If analytics are enabled after consent, third-party providers may set cookies under their own policies. Fonts loaded from Google Fonts may involve network requests; they are configured for display performance and are not used as an advertising channel by Smartnetlab.
Managing or disabling cookies
Use Accept or Reject on the cookie banner. To change a prior choice, clear site data for smartnetlab.digital in your browser, then reload the site and select again. You can also block cookies entirely in browser settings; essential site features will still work, though the banner may reappear if consent storage is cleared.
Impact of disabling
Disabling optional analytics does not affect requesting an estimate, reading field notes, or viewing engagement pages. Disabling all cookies in the browser may reset your consent preference and show the banner again.
