Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, such as preferences and how you interact with pages, making your next visit easier and the site more useful. This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies (like local storage) SMARKIT uses on smarkit.co.za (the "Site").

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Understand how visitors find and use our Site, so we can improve it;
• Remember your session so features like our contact form work correctly;
• Protect the Site against malicious traffic and abuse; and
• Measure the performance of our content and marketing efforts.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

These are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They include session storage used by our contact form to briefly cache content (such as testimonials and portfolio items) so pages load faster on repeat visits within the same session.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (via Google's gtag.js) to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and which device or browser is used. This helps us understand what's working and where to improve.

Security & Performance

We use Cloudflare for content delivery and security monitoring. Cloudflare may set cookies or use similar technologies to detect and mitigate malicious traffic, and to help our Site load quickly for you.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Site are placed by third-party services we use, rather than by SMARKIT directly. These providers have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review:

• Google (Analytics & Fonts)
• Cloudflare

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings: you can block, delete, or be notified when cookies are set. Since strictly necessary cookies are required for core Site functionality, disabling all cookies may affect how parts of the Site work, such as form submission.

To manage or disable cookies in your browser:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
