Cookie Policy

To allow Smartsoft Limited’s (hereinafter referred to as “Smartsoft”) website to work properly, we sometimes place small data files called cookies on your device.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

• First party cookies are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. Only that website can read them. In     addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also     set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
• Persistent cookies are cookies saved  on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

When you first visit Smartsoft’s site, you will be prompted to either accept or refuse cookies.

The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as language, etc.). This way, you will not have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our site.
