Cookie Policy

How SMSX uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the people who own the site.

Related technologies do similar jobs. Local storage keeps small values in your browser without sending them with every request, and pixels or scripts can measure whether a page or an advertisement loaded. Where this policy says "cookies", it also covers those similar technologies.

SMSX uses a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies to keep the interface working smoothly. We do not use our own cookies to build advertising profiles about you across other websites.

Types of cookies we use

Because our free SMS verification pages are readable without signing in, the cookie footprint of an ordinary visit is small.

Strictly necessary

These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off from within the site. They support page delivery, security, and basic interface state.

  • Keeping the layout and navigation responsive as you move between pages.
  • Protecting forms and requests against abuse and automated submission.

Preferences

These remember choices you make so the experience stays consistent between visits.

  • Your light or dark theme selection.
  • Interface details such as language label or layout density.

Analytics and advertising

If analytics or advertising cookies are introduced in a future release — for example when advertising partners such as Google AdSense are enabled — this policy will be updated to describe them, and, where required by law, you will be asked for consent before those cookies are set.

Third-party and advertising cookies

When advertising is enabled, approved partners may set their own cookies to measure ad performance and limit how often you see the same ad. These cookies are controlled by the partner, not by SMSX, and are governed by the partner's own privacy and cookie policies.

Google, as a third-party vendor, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, and you can review your choices for many vendors through industry pages such as aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.

How to manage cookies

You are in control. Most browsers let you inspect what has been stored and remove it whenever you want.

  • Block all cookies, or block only third-party cookies.
  • Delete existing cookies, or clear them automatically when you close the browser.
  • Use private or incognito windows, which discard most storage when the session ends.
  • Review the cookie and site-data settings in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge for step-by-step instructions.

What blocking cookies changes

Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the website to stop working as expected. Blocking preference cookies simply means the site forgets choices such as your theme and falls back to defaults on your next visit.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the website evolves or as new features are enabled. The effective date at the top of this page indicates the latest version.
