Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how smilee.ai and selected third parties use them, and how you can control them. For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to make the site work, remember your preferences, or understand how it is used. We also use similar technologies such as browser local storage, tags, scripts, and pixels. In this policy we refer to all of these as "cookies".
Cookies can be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which stay until they expire or you delete them. They may be set by us ("first-party") or by third-party services we use ("third-party").
How we ask for consent
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. Analytics and session-recording cookies are set only after you accept them.
Your choice is stored in your browser and remembered on future visits. You can change or withdraw it at any time by clearing the stored choice or your browser cookies, and you can also block cookies through your browser settings — though some parts of the site may then not work as intended.
Cookie categories
- Necessary
- Required for the site to function and to remember your cookie choice. Always active; no consent required.
- Analytics
- Help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g. which pages are viewed) so we can improve it. Set only with your consent.
- Functionality
- Remember choices such as your language preference for a more personal experience.
