Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 7, 2025
Our Privacy Policy explains our principles regarding collecting, processing, and storing your information. This policy specifically explains how we, our partners, and users of our services deploy cookies and the options you have to control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient visitor experience and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first-party cookies”) or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third-party cookies”).
Both websites and HTML emails may also contain tracking technologies such as “web beacons” or “pixels.” These are typically small, transparent images that provide statistics for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer similarly. As a result, if you turn off cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for various purposes. Some are necessary for technical reasons, some enable a personalized experience for visitors and registered users, and some allow the display of advertising from selected third-party networks. Some of these cookies may be set when a page is loaded or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a post, for example).
Many cookies we use are only set if you are a registered user (so you don’t have to log in every time, for example), while others are set whenever you visit our website, regardless of whether you have an account.
Please see the Controlling Cookies section below for more information on your choices regarding our cookies.
Where we place cookies
We set cookies in several different locations across our services. These include:
- On our website (https://makeasmoothmove.com/).
- In the administrative dashboard of our website.
- On client sites we host or manage.
- On sites that use our plugins or integrated tools.
- In the emails we send.
Types of Cookie
The table below explains the cookies used on our website and why we use them.
| Category of cookies | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | These cookies are essential for the website to perform its basic functions. These include those required to allow registered users to authenticate and perform account-related functions. |
| Functionality | These cookies are used to store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location. |
| Security | We use these cookies to help identify and prevent potential security risks. |
| Analytics and Performance | Performance cookies collect information on how users interact with our website, including what pages are visited most, as well as other analytical data. We use these details to improve how our website functions and to understand how users interact with it. |
| Advertising | These cookies are used to display relevant advertising to visitors who use our services or visit websites we host or provide, as well as to understand and report on the effectiveness of ads served on our site. They track details such as the number of unique visitors, the number of times particular ads have been shown, and the number of clicks the ads have received. |
| Third-Party / Embedded Content | Sites hosted on our platform may use different third-party applications and services to enhance the experience of website visitors. These may include social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (through the use of sharing buttons), or embedded content from YouTube and Vimeo. As a result, these third parties may set cookies and use them to track your online activity. We have no direct control over the information that is collected by these cookies. |
Controlling Cookies
Visitors may wish to restrict the use of cookies or completely prevent them from being set. Most browsers provide ways to control cookie behavior, such as the length of time they are stored — either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third-party plugins.
