Cookies Policy

Last updated: 26/02/2026

This page explains how SmartTranslate.ai uses cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies that are necessary for the operation of the Service and — with your consent — analytical cookies. You can manage consent in the cookie banner.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies

  • Cookies are small text files stored on the user’s device (e.g. a computer or phone).
  • They may be session cookies (deleted after closing the browser) or persistent cookies (kept for a specified period).
  • Aside from cookies, similar technologies (e.g. localStorage) can be used to remember preferences and ensure the Service works correctly.

2. What categories of cookies we use

  • Necessary: required for the basic functioning of the Service, security, maintaining sessions and remembering key preferences. These cookies are always active and cannot be disabled in the banner (the Service will not function properly without them).
  • Analytical (optional): help measure traffic and understand how users use the Service, to improve performance and the user experience. These cookies are only activated after you give consent.

3. Consent and managing preferences

  • On your first visit a cookie banner is displayed where you can accept all cookies or choose only the necessary ones.
  • You can change or withdraw consent for analytical cookies at any time by reopening the settings in the cookie banner (or by deleting cookies in your browser).
  • Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

4. Examples of cookies used in the Service

  • Consent preferences: a cookie set by the banner mechanism (e.g. "cc_cookie") to remember the user’s selections.
  • Language preferences: a cookie that stores the chosen language variant (e.g. "smartTranslate_language").
  • Analytics (with consent): cookies from analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics: "_ga", "_gid" and related variants).
  • Authentication (if sign-in is available): session cookies from the sign-in provider may be used to maintain sessions and security.

5. Analytics providers and modes of operation

  • On the Service we may use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode v2 and Cloudflare Web Analytics.
  • We load and activate analytics tools according to your choices in the cookie banner. If you do not consent to the analytics category, we do not activate analytics cookies and we limit tracking to what is permitted by law.
  • Details on the processing of personal data related to analytics are available in the Privacy Policy.

6. How to manage cookies yourself in the browser

  • You can delete cookies and block their storage in your browser settings.
  • Blocking necessary cookies may lead to incorrect functioning of the Service (e.g. problems with signing in or remembering settings).
