Cookie Policy

Last updated: 12 September 2026. This Global Cookie Policy explains how Smart Approve Evolutions Group ("Smart Approve", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on the Smart Approve Property Platform worldwide. It should be read alongside our Global Privacy Policy. This policy applies to all users globally, and is designed to meet the requirements of the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the EU ePrivacy Directive as implemented in EEA member states, and US state privacy laws including the CCPA/CPRA.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixel tags. Cookies allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time and are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners.

2. Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, including authentication, security, fraud prevention, and remembering consent choices. They cannot be disabled in our systems.

Preference cookies remember your language, region and display settings (including jurisdiction selection such as UK | Europe | USA). They are loaded only with your consent.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can measure and improve it. They are only loaded with your consent.

Marketing cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and, where permitted, to show relevant content. They are only loaded with your consent and are subject to opt-out where applicable.

3. Consent

Before any non-essential cookies are loaded, we present a cookie consent mechanism that lets you accept, reject or granularly manage categories of cookies. You can change your preferences at any time from the cookie preferences link in the site footer. We do not rely on "pre-ticked" boxes or default consent — consent is a clear, affirmative action, and you may withdraw it at any time.

4. Jurisdiction-specific notes

UK and EEA: under PECR and the ePrivacy Directive, consent is required before storing or accessing non-essential cookies. We obtain this consent before loading such cookies.

United States: residents of California and other states with applicable laws may use cookies that fall within "sharing" or "sale" of personal data. We do not sell personal data for monetary consideration. Where applicable, we provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" option and honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) and similar browser signals as a valid opt-out request for the sale/sharing of personal data and certain targeted advertising.

Other jurisdictions: where local law requires consent or an opt-out for certain cookies or tracking technologies, we apply that standard.

5. Third parties

We may use trusted third-party service providers (such as analytics, hosting, email and payment providers) that set cookies or similar technologies on our behalf. These providers process data under their own policies and as our processors. International transfers of any data collected are made with appropriate safeguards as described in our Global Privacy Policy.

6. Managing cookies

In addition to our consent tool, you can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality. Links to manage cookies in major browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge. Note that "do not track" signals are handled in line with the jurisdiction-specific notes above.

7. Changes and contact

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time; the "Last updated" date reflects the most recent version. For any questions about cookies, please contact us through the Contact page.
