This Cookie Policy explains how Smartnumbers Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.smartnumbers.ca (the "Website"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how visitors use their site.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services operating on that website ("third-party cookies").
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies as they are required for the Website to operate. They do not collect personally identifiable information.
Example: A cookie that remembers your cookie consent preference so we do not show you the consent banner on every page visit.
These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and whether they encounter any error messages. This information is used in aggregate form to help us improve how the Website works. These cookies do not collect information that identifies individual visitors.
If we use a third-party analytics service (such as Google Analytics), that service may set its own cookies on your device. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any such third-party services.
At present, we do not use marketing or advertising cookies on our Website. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and seek your consent where required.
The following table describes the specific cookies currently in use on our Website:
| Cookie Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sn_cookie_consent | Strictly Necessary | Stores your cookie consent preference to prevent the consent banner from appearing on every page. | 1 year (localStorage) |
We will update this table as our use of cookies changes.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently alter its behaviour in response to DNT signals, but we will review this position as standards develop.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies or applicable law. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
