COOKIES POLICY:

This policy covers our use of the information collected by the Smartika Store website during your visit.

What is a “cookie”?

A “cookie” is a text file containing small amounts of information which a server downloads to your personal computer (PC) or mobile when you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device.

There are different types of cookies which are used to do different things, such as letting you navigate between different pages on a website efficiently, remembering preferences you have given a website, and improving your overall experience. Others are used to provide you with advertising which is more tailored to your interests, or to measure the number of site visits and the most popular pages users visit.

Another type of cookie would remain on your PC for a period of time. These are known as “persistent” cookies.
