Cookie Policy

Last updated: 26 February 2026

This page explains how SmartTranslate.ai uses cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies that are necessary 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 the 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 specified period).
  • In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as localStorage may be used to remember preferences and keep the Service working properly.

2. What cookie categories we use

  • Essential: required for the basic operation of the Service, 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 us measure traffic and understand how users use the Service so we can improve performance and UX. We only activate these cookies after you give consent.

3. Consent and preference management

  • On your first visit, a cookie banner is shown where you can accept all cookies or choose only the essential ones.
  • You can change or withdraw 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 before withdrawal.

4. Examples of cookies used in the Service

  • Consent preferences: a cookie set by the banner mechanism (for example, "cc_cookie") to remember user 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 login is available): session cookies from the login 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 run analytics tools in line with 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 the scope permitted by law.
  • Details about personal data processing in connection with analytics are available in the Privacy Policy.

6. How to manage cookies in your browser

  • You can delete cookies and block them from being stored in your browser settings.
  • Blocking essential cookies may cause the Service to function improperly (for example, issues with logging in or saving settings).
