This Cookie Policy explains how SmartRetry (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at https://www.smartretry.com (“Website”).
1.What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over time. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, SmartRetry) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.”
Most cookies on our Website are first-party cookies routed through Cloudflare Zaraz, our server-side tag management platform. Microsoft Clarity is integrated directly into our Website and sets both first-party cookies (under smartretry.com) and third-party cookies (under clarity.ms and bing.com domains).
2. How can I control cookies?
You can manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Preference Center, accessible via the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of every page. The banner appears automatically for new visitors and offers three options:
- Accept All – Allows all cookies
- Reject All – Allows only strictly necessary cookies
- Customize – Choose specific categories
Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are required for the Website to function. If you reject other cookies, you can still use our Website normally.
Your choice is stored for one year. After one year, we will ask you to renew your consent. You can also reset your choice at any time by clicking “Cookie Preferences” in the footer.

5. Conversion API (CAPI)
In addition to browser cookies, we use Meta’s Conversion API to send conversion events directly from our servers to Meta. When you submit a form, we may transmit hashed versions of your contact information (email, phone, name) to help match conversions to ad campaigns. This data is hashed using SHA-256 and cannot be reverse-engineered.
The Conversion API is only activated when you have explicitly consented to advertising cookies. If you reject advertising cookies, no data is sent to Meta through CAPI, even though it is a server-side technology.
6. Information you provide directly
When you submit a form on our Website (such as a demo request or contact form), you provide us with information like your name, email, phone number, and company details. This information is processed separately from cookies, based on your explicit request to contact us. We use this information to respond to your inquiry, provide our services, and (with your consent) measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns through Meta’s Conversion API and similar tools.
This processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, not this Cookie Policy.
7. Controlling cookies through your browser

You can also opt out of specific tracking services directly:
- Google Analytics: Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Microsoft (Clarity & Bing): Privacy Dashboard
- Meta: Ad Preferences
