Cookie policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie policy explains how Smart Robo AI Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on smartroboai.life. It should be read together with our Privacy policy and Terms of use. We are a robotics-autonomy AI engineering studio based in Vancouver, British Columbia — not a wellness brand, financial robo-advisor, toy-robot shop, or online course.

By continuing to use our Site after interacting with the cookie banner, you consent to the cookie practices described below for the categories you accept. You may withdraw or change analytics consent at any time using the banner controls or by clearing site data in your browser.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, maintain security, and — where permitted — understand how visitors navigate pages. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags. In this policy, "cookies" refers to cookies and comparable browser storage unless stated otherwise.

3. How we use cookies

We group cookies into two categories on smartroboai.life:

3.1 Essential cookies (always active)

Essential cookies are necessary for basic Site operation and security. They cannot be disabled through our banner without breaking core functionality. Examples include:

• Cookie consent preference storage — records whether you accepted, rejected or customised analytics cookies so the banner does not reappear on every visit;
• Session integrity tokens that protect form submission and basic navigation state;
• Load-balancing or security headers where provided by our Canadian hosting environment.

Essential cookies are deployed on the basis of implied consent necessary to deliver a functional website, consistent with PIPEDA and BC PIPA reasonable-expectation standards for strictly necessary technologies.

3.2 Analytics cookies (consent required)

Analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are visited, approximate referral sources, device categories and session duration. They are disabled by default until you click "Accept all" or enable them in the "Customise" panel and save. We do not use analytics cookies to profile individuals for unrelated advertising, financial product offers, wellness programmes, or course upsells.

If enabled, analytics data is processed in aggregate form to improve Site structure and content clarity for robotics engineering audiences. IP addresses may be truncated or anonymised per provider configuration.

4. Cookie banner and your choices

When you first visit smartroboai.life, a banner at the bottom of the page presents three options:

• Accept all — enables essential and analytics cookies;
• Reject all — enables essential cookies only; analytics remain off;
• Customise — opens a panel where essential cookies are fixed on and analytics can be toggled before saving.

Your choice is stored locally for six months, after which the banner will appear again so you can revisit your decision. You may change preferences earlier by clearing cookies for smartroboai.life in your browser settings, which will reset the banner on your next visit.

Essential cookies in the customise panel are shown as checked and disabled because they are required for Site operation — this is not pre-checked marketing consent; analytics remains off unless you explicitly enable it.

5. Specific storage keys

Our cookie implementation uses browser local storage to persist consent decisions. Typical keys include a consent status flag and an optional analytics-enabled flag. These records contain no personal identifiers beyond your browser's local profile — they are not used to track you across unrelated websites.

6. Third-party cookies

We minimise third-party cookies. If analytics tools are enabled in the future, their cookies would be disclosed in an updated table on this page with provider name, purpose and retention. Currently, third-party marketing trackers, social-media pixels and retargeting networks are not deployed on smartroboai.life.

Embedded fonts are loaded from Google Fonts via CSS; your browser may request font files directly from Google when rendering pages. That request may disclose your IP address to Google under their infrastructure policies. We select display fonts for readability, not for cross-site tracking.

7. Retention periods

• Consent preference storage: six months, then re-prompt;
• Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser;
• Analytics cookies (if accepted): typically up to thirteen months per industry defaults, or sooner if you withdraw consent.

8. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice and could affect form functionality. Consult your browser's help documentation for current steps — common browsers include Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge.

Do Not Track (DNT) signals are not uniformly honoured across the industry; we treat analytics as off unless you explicitly consent through our banner regardless of DNT settings.

9. Updates

We may update this Cookie policy when we add tools, change hosting providers or respond to regulatory guidance. The "Last updated" date at the top will change accordingly. Material updates may trigger a fresh consent prompt where required.
