Cookie Policy (EU)

Last updated: 8 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Smashology Media (“Smashology”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on smashologymedia.com.

1. Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for the site to work, protect forms and accounts, remember privacy choices, and provide security. They cannot be switched off through this banner.

2. Optional analytics and advertising technologies

When you choose to allow optional cookies, we may use Google Site Kit and related measurement technologies to understand readership and improve the site. Google AdSense setup code is installed, but the site has not been approved to serve AdSense ads. Loading third-party code can involve requests to Google even when no advertisement is displayed. Verification of all consent integrations is ongoing; this page does not certify that every integration has passed that review.

3. Your choices

You can accept or reject optional cookies, manage individual categories, and change your decision later through Your Privacy Choices. Automatic handling of Global Privacy Control signals is still being verified. This policy does not confirm that a browser signal has been applied. Use the cookie controls or the contact routes on Your Privacy Choices to communicate an opt-out request. Do Not Track is not treated as consent.

4. Third-party services

Some pages may contain embedded media, sharing tools, or links to third-party services. Those services may set cookies only in accordance with your consent and their own privacy notices. Their availability can change as the site develops.

5. Retention and updates

Cookie names, providers, and retention periods can change when site features or vendors change. We review this policy and update it when the site behavior changes. Your consent record is managed by our consent banner.

6. Contact

Questions about cookies or privacy can be sent to info@smash-ology.com. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
