Cookie Policy

Updated November 4, 2026. This page describes cookies and browser storage used for the website’s features and optional analytics.

Current tracking status

Optional analytics, controlled by your choice.

When you allow analytics, SMD uses Google Analytics 4 to understand website visits and selected interactions. Analytics stays off if you reject it. Advertising and retargeting tags are not part of this setup.

Essential technologies

Needed for core site functions

Webflow and other production services may use strictly necessary technologies to provide hosting, security, form handling, load balancing, or other functionality required for the website to operate.

Functional technologies

Features such as scheduling or chat

The website uses session storage to carry advisor project context into the inquiry form and remember whether the site introduction has been shown during your browsing session. Session storage is distinct from cookies. Optional AI follow-ups send your message, recent conversation, and project context to SMD's advisor service. The booking page links out to HubSpot's meeting scheduler rather than embedding it; HubSpot's own storage and privacy choices apply when you visit that external service.

Analytics technologies

Analytics only when you allow it

Google Analytics loads only after you allow analytics. Its first-party analytics cookies are configured to expire within 180 days, without extending that lifetime on each visit. Your analytics choice is saved locally for up to 180 days. Names, email addresses, phone numbers and inquiry messages are not included in SMD’s Analytics events.

Advertising and marketing

Not enabled by default

SMD will not describe advertising or retargeting technologies as active unless they are actually installed. If marketing tags are introduced later, the consent experience and this policy will be updated accordingly.

Your choices

Control optional cookies and browser storage

Use Analytics choices in the footer to allow or reject optional analytics at any time. Rejecting analytics does not prevent you from sending an inquiry, using the advisor or opening the booking page. Browser controls can also clear site data; this may remove saved inquiry context. External services provide their own privacy and storage choices.

Policy updates

The disclosure follows the real production stack

SMD will update this page whenever cookie categories, service providers, purposes, or consent controls materially change. The active cookie inventory will be reviewed whenever new website technology is introduced.
