Cookie Policy

Last updated: 26/02/2026

This page explains how SmartTranslate.ai uses cookies and similar technologies. We use essential cookies needed for the Service to function and, with your consent, analytics cookies. You can manage your consent in the cookie banner.

1. What cookies and similar technologies are

  • Cookies are small text files stored on a user's device (for example, a computer or phone).
  • They may be session cookies (deleted when the browser is closed) or persistent cookies (stored for a set period of time).
  • In addition to cookies, similar technologies (for example, localStorage) may be used to remember preferences and keep the Service working properly.

2. Which cookie categories we use

  • Essential: required for the Service's core operation, security, session management, and remembering key preferences. These cookies are always active and cannot be turned off in the banner (because the Service will not work properly without them).
  • Analytics (optional): help measure traffic and understand how users use the Service so we can improve performance and the user experience. We only activate these cookies after you give consent.

3. Consent and managing preferences

  • When you visit for the first time, a cookie banner appears where you can accept all cookies or choose only the essential ones.
  • You can change or withdraw your consent for analytics cookies at any time by reopening the settings in the 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 (for example, "cc_cookie") to remember the user's choices.
  • Language preferences: a cookie that remembers the selected language variant (for example, "smartTranslate_language").
  • Analytics (after consent): cookies from analytics tools (for example, 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 the session and security.

5. Analytics providers and operating modes

  • The Service 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 limit tracking to the legally permitted scope.
  • Details about personal data processing in connection with analytics can be found in the Privacy Policy.

6. How to manage cookies yourself in your browser

  • You can delete cookies and block them from being saved in your browser settings.
  • Blocking essential cookies may cause the Service to function incorrectly (for example, problems with sign-in or saving settings).
