1. Introduction
At Smart Agent Alliance, accessible at smartagentalliance.com, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and understand where our visitors come from.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions.
Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about how their site is being used.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Session management
- Security features
- Basic functionality
Analytics Cookies
We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool, to understand how visitors interact with our website. Unlike traditional analytics, Plausible:
- Does not use cookies for tracking
- Does not collect personal data
- Does not track users across websites
- Is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR
Plausible collects anonymous, aggregate data including page views, referral sources, and general device/browser information. No individual user tracking occurs.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as:
- Remembering your preferences and settings
- Enabling embedded content (such as YouTube videos)
- Providing social media sharing features
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These may include:
- YouTube: Embedded video content (we use privacy-enhanced embedding when possible)
- Social media platforms: Share buttons and embedded content
These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use cookies. We encourage you to review their policies for more information.
Note: We use Plausible Analytics which does not set any cookies, making our analytics fully privacy-respecting.
4. How Long Do Cookies Last?
Cookies can be either “session” or “persistent” cookies:
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to remember you during a single browsing session.
- Persistent cookies: These remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They are used to remember your preferences across multiple visits.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Our Analytics Approach
We use Plausible Analytics, which is privacy-focused and does not require cookies. This means there is no need to opt out of analytics tracking on our site - your privacy is protected by default.
6. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Currently, there is no uniform standard for responding to these signals, and our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.
