Cookie Policy
Last updated:
Smart Business Wizard is operated by AI Tech.
This Cookie Policy explains how AI Tech uses cookies and similar technologies on https://smartbusinesswizard.com and in the application at https://app.smartbusinesswizard.com. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. “First-party” cookies are set by us; “third-party” cookies are set by another domain. Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies last for a set period.
2. Our marketing website
Our marketing website does not set advertising, social-media or third-party analytics cookies, and does not use tracking pixels. Our network provider, Cloudflare, may set a short-lived security cookie (__cf_bm) to tell people from automated attacks. The website keeps two small preferences in your browser’s storage: the currency you chose for prices, and whether Babu’s sounds and read-aloud are on. Our hosting and network providers record standard server logs for security and reliability. If we add analytics or marketing tools in future, we will update this policy first and, where the law requires, ask for your consent.
3. The application
The application uses strictly necessary cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in, protect forms against cross-site request forgery, and remember basic preferences. These are required for the Service to work and cannot be switched off in the Service.

4. Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in to the application. We honor Global Privacy Control signals as described in our Privacy Policy. Because we do not use advertising cookies, “Do Not Track” signals do not change how our website behaves.
5. Changes and contact
We will update this policy when our use of cookies changes and revise the “Last updated” date above. Questions: privacy@smartbusinesswizard.com.
