Cookie Notice
Last Updated: November 11, 2026 • Effective Date: November 1, 2026
1. What Cookies & Storage Mechanisms We Use
Websites use tiny text files (“cookies”) and browser local storage keys to remember consent preferences, keep page navigation fast, and credit affiliate referrals when visitors follow product recommendations.
2. Cookie Categories
Strictly Necessary Preference Storage
Stores your cookie consent choice (`sba_cookie_consent`) in local browser storage so the consent prompt does not reappear on every page load. Contains zero personally identifiable information.
Aggregated Performance Telemetry
Measures aggregate page load stability and broken route telemetry without selling individual browsing histories.
Affiliate Referral Cookies
When you select a merchant link from SmartBuy Atlas, the destination retailer (for example, Amazon) places a standard referral attribution cookie on their own domain under their privacy policies.
3. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can clear or restrict cookies anytime through Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox privacy preferences, or re-select “Essential Only” after clearing browser site data for SmartBuyAtlas.com.
