Cookie 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, analytics cookies. You can manage consent in the cookie banner.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies

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

2. Which categories of cookies we use

  • Necessary: required for the basic operation of the Service, security, session maintenance and remembering key preferences. These cookies are always active and cannot be disabled in the banner (the Service may not work correctly without them).
  • Analytics (optional): help measure traffic and understand how users interact with the Service, so we can improve performance and the user experience. We enable these cookies only with your consent.

3. Consent and managing preferences

  • On your first visit a cookie banner is shown where you can accept all cookies or choose only the necessary ones.
  • You can change or withdraw your consent to 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 prior to the withdrawal.

4. Examples of cookies used on the Service

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

5. Analytics providers and modes of operation

  • 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 what is permitted by law.
  • Details about personal data processing related to analytics can be found 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 cause the Service to malfunction (e.g. issues with logging in or remembering settings).
