4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Smart1Byte uses “Cookies” and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our services and your experience, see which areas and features of our services are popular, and count visits.

Your Choices

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our website.

5. Google AdSense and Advertising

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites that are contained in web cookies in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

  • DART Cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on Smart1Byte. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to Smart1Byte and other sites on the Internet.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).  

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.   
8. Security of Your Information

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our website is at your own risk.
