Cookie Policy

Current Site Storage

Smart Market Guide stores one preference named smartmarketguide-cookie in your browser's local storage after you dismiss the cookie notice. It records only the value “accepted” so the notice does not reappear on every visit.

Local storage is similar to cookies but is saved by your browser without being sent with each web request. It remains until you clear site data.

What We Do Not Currently Use

Smart Market Guide does not currently use Google Analytics, its own advertising cookies, personalization cookies, saved search history, or social-media tracking pixels. The site's hosting and security providers may use essential technical mechanisms needed to deliver and protect the service.

Amazon and Affiliate Attribution

Clicking an Amazon product link takes you to Amazon. If the link contains an assigned Associate ID, Amazon and its service providers may place or recognize cookies and collect referral information under Amazon's own privacy and advertising settings.

Amazon generally uses a 24-hour Associate session. Eligible items added to the cart during that session may qualify if purchased before the cart expires, usually within 90 days. These are Amazon attribution rules, not cookies set or controlled by Smart Market Guide.

Managing Your Choices

You can remove the Smart Market Guide preference by clearing cookies and site data for this domain in your browser. You can also configure your browser to block cookies, use private browsing, avoid affiliate links, or visit Amazon directly.

For Amazon's practices and controls, review the Amazon Privacy Notice.

Policy Updates

If Smart Market Guide adds analytics, advertising, personalization, or other tracking technologies, this policy and the site's notice will be updated to describe the technology, purpose, provider, and available controls.

For broader information about data handling, see our Privacy Policy.
