Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 16, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how SmartAIGist (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on smartaigist.com (the “Site”), and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences, and give the site owner and its partners information about how the site is used.
Cookies may be “session cookies,” which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent cookies,” which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them. “First-party” cookies are set by us, while “third-party” cookies are set by other companies whose services we use.
2. The Types of Cookies We Use
Essential cookies
These cookies are needed for the Site to work. They support basic functions such as loading pages, keeping the Site secure, and remembering your cookie choices. The Site cannot work properly without them.
Comment cookies
If you leave a comment on an article, WordPress may save your name, email address and website in cookies on your device, for up to one year, so you do not have to type them again next time. These cookies are optional, and you can decline to save them when you comment.
Analytics cookies
We may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site: which pages are read most, how people find us, and how long they stay. We use this information, in aggregate, to improve our content and the reading experience.
Advertising cookies
We may display ads through third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense. These partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads, to limit how often you see the same ad, to measure ad performance, and, where permitted, to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Site are set by third-party services rather than by us. These may include:
- Google Analytics, for traffic and usage statistics
- Google AdSense and Google’s advertising partners, for serving and measuring ads
Google uses advertising cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this Site and to other sites on the internet. We do not control how third parties use their cookies. To learn more, see:
4. Your Choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Your browser. Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies in their settings. Search for “[your browser name] cookie settings” for step-by-step instructions.
- Personalized ads. You can manage or turn off ad personalization with Google at Google Ads Settings.
- Industry opt-out tools. You can opt out of interest-based advertising from many participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance or, in Europe, Your Online Choices.
- Google Analytics. You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended, and your experience may be affected.
5. Consent
Where the law requires it, such as for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and certain other regions, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time. Essential cookies do not require consent.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no agreed standard for how websites should respond to it, the Site does not currently change its behavior when it receives one.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in the law. When we do, we will post the updated version here and change the “Last updated” date above.
