Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies are, which cookies smartfurniturebuy.com uses, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. It lets the site remember things between pages and visits, such as whether you have dismissed a notice, and it lets third parties such as analytics and advertising providers recognise your browser across sites. Similar technologies, including local storage and tracking pixels, are covered by this policy in the same way.
Cookies this site uses
| Type | Set by | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | smartfurniturebuy.com (WordPress) | Remembering a comment author name, keeping a logged-in editor signed in, security checks. These do not track you and cannot be switched off while using the site. | Session to 1 year |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Counting visits, pages read and how visitors arrive, in aggregate, so we can see which guides are useful. IP addresses are truncated by Google before storage. | Up to 2 years |
| Advertising | Google AdSense and its certified ad partners | Showing ads, limiting how often you see the same ad, measuring ad performance and, where you have consented, personalising ads based on your visits to this and other sites. | Up to 13 months |
Third parties set their cookies under their own policies. Google’s use of advertising cookies is described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads, and the list of ad technology providers Google may work with is at support.google.com/admanager/answer/9012903.
Consent
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you will be shown a consent message before any analytics or advertising cookies are set. You can accept, decline, or choose by purpose, and you can change your choice at any time through the link in the site footer or by clearing your cookies, which will show the message again. Declining does not block the site; it means ads will be non-personalised and analytics will not run.
How to control cookies
- In your browser: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its privacy settings. Blocking all cookies may stop some site features working.
- Google ad personalisation: turn it off at adssettings.google.com.
- Other ad networks: opt out of interest-based advertising at optout.aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (Europe).
- Google Analytics: install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
