Cookies Policy

Last updated: March 31, 2026

We only use cookies that are necessary to provide our service. No advertising trackers. No third-party profiling.

Essential Cookies

Required

Required for core authentication, security, and service functionality. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Service.

Functional Cookies

Remember your preferences such as theme mode (dark/light) and language settings. Disabling these will reset preferences on each visit.

Analytics Cookies

Help us understand which features are used most often so we can improve the platform. These are internal analytics only — no third-party trackers.

Device Identifier

An anonymous UUID stored in an HTTP-only cookie to enforce free trial limits for unauthenticated users. Contains no personal information.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.

Cookies are not viruses. They cannot run programs or install software. They contain only text data. Modern browsers give you full control over which cookies to accept, and our site will function (with limited personalization) even if you disable non-essential cookies.

Some cookies are stored temporarily for the duration of your browser session and deleted when you close the browser (session cookies). Others persist for a set period (persistent cookies) to remember your preferences across visits.

The following table lists every cookie SmartLink Pilot may place on your device, its purpose, and how long it lasts.

Cookie Name	Purpose	Duration	Category
next-auth.session-token	Maintains your authenticated login session across browser sessions	30 days	Essential
next-auth.csrf-token	Security token that prevents cross-site request forgery attacks	Session	Essential
next-auth.callback-url	Stores the page to redirect to after successful login	Session	Essential
device_id	Anonymous random UUID used to track free trial link usage (no PII)	1 year	Device
smartlink-theme	Stores your chosen theme preference (dark/light mode) in localStorage	Persistent	Functional
__Secure-next-auth.session-token	Secure version of session token used in production HTTPS environments	30 days	Essential

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising/retargeting cookies. No third-party companies can track you through our platform.

How to Manage & Delete Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies (session-token, csrf-token) will prevent you from logging in to SmartLink Pilot. Disabling functional cookies will reset your theme preference on each visit.
