Dewey Smart (“we” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (www.deweysmart.com) to provide a better user experience, remember your preferences, and understand how our site is used. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage them. This policy works in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

‍1. What Are Cookies?

‍Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners or others. Cookies can be “first-party” (served by us, only used by our site) or “third-party” (served by other companies whose services we use).Cookies may be session cookies (which are temporary and deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

‍2. What Cookies We Use and Why:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. For example, if our site has a login for scheduling or a shopping cart for purchasing sessions, essential cookies would enable you to stay logged in as you navigate or to remember what’s in your cart. You cannot opt-out of essential cookies because the site won’t work without them.
• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that set cookies to collect information about how visitors use our site. This information is aggregated and anonymous; it may include data like which pages you visit, how long you stay, how you found our site (e.g., via Google search or a link), and technical info about your device or browser. We use this data to understand user behavior and improve our website content and performance. For example, analytics cookies help us see if a lot of users drop off at a certain page, indicating we might need to improve that page.
• Preference Cookies: These cookies remember your preferences to provide a more personalized experience. For instance, if our site offers a language selection or remembers form data (like your email for login), preference cookies save those choices so you don’t have to re-enter them each time.
• Marketing Cookies: Currently, Dewey Smart does not host third-party ads on our site, so we don’t use advertising cookies that profile you for ad targeting. If this changes, we will update this policy. We may have cookies related to our own marketing, such as if we run a promotion and want to track sign-up attribution, but as of now our use of marketing cookies is minimal or none.
• Third-Party and Social Media Cookies: If we embed content from third-party platforms (like a YouTube video or a social media share button), those third sites may set cookies on your browser. We do not control these cookies. For example, clicking a Facebook “Share” button might set a Facebook cookie on your device. These cookies might track your interaction or remember that action.

3. Your Choices:

‍When you first visit our site, you may see a banner or notice about cookies (depending on the jurisdiction). You have a few options to manage cookies:

• Browser Settings: You can set your web browser to refuse some or all cookies, or to prompt you before accepting a cookie. The method for doing so varies by browser (check your browser’s Help menu or settings). If you disable cookies entirely, please note that some parts of our site may not function correctly (for example, you might not be able to log in or complete a purchase).
• Opt-Out of Analytics: To specifically opt-out of Google Analytics, Google provides an opt-out browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This tool prevents Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits. We respect “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals as well, so if your browser is set to DNT, our site will try to honor that for analytics where feasible.
• Cookie Banner Choices: If our site displays a cookie consent banner or tool, you can use that to accept or reject non-essential cookies. For example, you might choose to accept only essential and analytics cookies but reject marketing cookies (if any).
• Clearing Cookies: You can also clear cookies from your browser at any time. Keep in mind that clearing cookies will log you out of sessions and may reset preferences.

4. Changes to This Policy:

‍We may update our Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will update the effective date at the top of the policy when we do so. Significant changes may be communicated via a notice on our site.

‍5. Contact Us:

‍If you have any questions about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, you can contact us at: support@deweysmart.com.

By continuing to use our site without changing your browser settings to block cookies, you consent to our use of cookies as described above.
