This Cookie Policy explains how SMRT Payments ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on websites under the smrtpayments.com domain (including subdomains such as legal.smrtpayments.com) and in certain product experiences. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites function, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. We also use local storage and similar technologies for the same purposes.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly Necessary – Required for core functionality and security (e.g., page rendering, fraud prevention). These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Functional – Remember preferences such as language, region, and accessibility settings.
- Performance/Analytics – Help us measure and improve site performance (e.g., page load times, traffic patterns). Data is aggregated whenever feasible.
- Advertising/Targeting – Not used on our legal site. If used elsewhere, they would help deliver relevant content or limit ad frequency.
Examples
| Category | Purpose | Typical Lifespan |

Your Choices
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Browser controls – Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See your browser’s help menu for instructions.
- Private/Incognito mode – Limits storage to your current session.
- Device settings – Mobile OS settings may provide additional controls.
Turning off certain cookies may affect site functionality. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the site to work and cannot be disabled via our systems.
Do We Use Third‑Party Cookies?
We minimize third‑party cookies on our legal site. Some subdomains or embedded content may load third‑party resources (e.g., fonts, videos, analytics). Those providers may set their own cookies; their policies apply.
Do Not Track
Because there is no industry standard for responding to Do Not Track (DNT) signals, we do not currently respond to DNT. We will review this approach if standards evolve.
Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our services. Material changes will be communicated through the site or by contact methods on file when appropriate.
