This Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies are used on the Picked Smart website and product experience.

Effective date: March 12, 2026Cookie Policy

Cookies help us keep sessions secure, remember useful settings, understand product performance, and maintain a smoother user experience. We try to use them in a targeted and proportionate way.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small data files placed on your browser or device. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, tags, and SDK-based identifiers that serve comparable purposes.

Some cookies are essential to make the service work. Others help us understand performance, remember preferences, or improve product quality.

2. Essential cookies

We use essential cookies or equivalent storage mechanisms to support login sessions, authentication state, fraud prevention, security controls, load balancing, and product functionality that customers expect when using the service.

Because these technologies are necessary to provide the requested service, they generally cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.

3. Preference and functional cookies

We may use cookies to remember language preference, UI settings, dismissible notices, and similar choices that help deliver a smoother and more consistent experience.

These settings cookies are typically low risk, but they still form part of our broader privacy and browser storage practices.

4. Analytics and performance technologies

We may use analytics or performance tools to understand product usage patterns, measure traffic, identify errors, and improve reliability and design decisions. Where required by law, we will seek the necessary consent before placing non-essential cookies or similar trackers.

Analytics data is usually aggregated or pseudonymized, but it can still be treated as personal data under some privacy laws.

5. Third-party services

Some third-party tools integrated into the site or product may place their own cookies or similar identifiers subject to their own policies. Examples can include payment, analytics, chat, or embedded content providers.

We evaluate external services carefully, but customers and visitors should also review the privacy information for relevant third-party providers where appropriate.

6. Managing cookie choices

You can usually control cookies through browser settings, device settings, and consent preferences presented on the site. Blocking some cookies may affect functionality or limit how well the service works.

If you clear your browser storage or switch devices or browsers, you may need to reapply your preferences.

7. Updates and contact

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of browser technologies evolves or as legal requirements change.

Questions about our cookie practices can be sent to hello@pickedsmart.com.

If you are comparing policies or checking a requirement, you can keep your place and jump back when you are done.
