Cookie Policy
cookies-v2.01.Categories and control
Necessary storage supports security, sessions and the consent mechanism and cannot be disabled through the banner. Functional storage remembers requested preferences. Analytics and marketing storage is optional and remains blocked until the matching consent. Categories are independent, so accepting analytics does not accept marketing.
2.Current browser-storage inventory
The inventory describes storage owned or deliberately enabled by the current SMAT website. Connected third-party pages may set their own storage outside SMAT’s domain.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Lifetime / trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| smat_consent | Necessary | Stores consent categories shared across SMAT subdomains | Up to 365 days |
| smat_marketing_consent_ref | Necessary | Signed server reference proving anonymous marketing consent | Up to 365 days; HttpOnly |
| Session and security cookies | Necessary | Authentication, request integrity and abuse protection | Session or configured security lifetime |
| Language and interface preferences | Functional | Keeps the interface choice requested by the visitor | Until changed or cleared |
| Google Tag Manager storage | Analytics and Marketing | Writes to the browser only after the consent that governs it: analytics storage after analytics opt-in, advertising storage after marketing opt-in. Without the matching consent the tag runs denied, measuring without storage and without an identifier | Only after the matching opt-in; provider-defined lifetime |
| _fbp and _fbc | Marketing | Meta attribution and campaign measurement | Only after marketing opt-in; provider-defined lifetime |
| smat_utm_params and smat_ref | Marketing | Keeps campaign and referral attribution | Only after marketing opt-in; cleared on withdrawal |
3.Giving and withdrawing consent
The first visit presents equally available accept, reject and settings choices. Optional storage is not written before consent. You can reopen cookie settings from the website, change individual categories or reject optional storage. Withdrawal applies prospectively and clears SMAT-owned optional marketing state where technically possible. Browser controls can also delete stored values, but blocking necessary storage may prevent sign-in or requested functions.
4.Updates and contact
We update this policy and its version when the implemented browser-storage inventory or purposes materially change. We do not describe a planned tool as active. Questions and privacy requests can be sent to [email protected].
