Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 2026  ·  Last Updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and tracking technologies SMAC (joinsmac.com) uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Related technologies, like tracking pixels, work similarly by recording activity in your browser without necessarily storing a file on your device.

About the Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., on joinsmac.com. It only loads after you accept cookies in our banner (or on return visits once you've accepted). Once active, it reports events like page views, checkout starts, and purchases back to Meta. This helps us understand which ads are working and lets Meta show our ads to people more likely to be interested in SMAC.

Data the Meta Pixel may collect includes your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages and actions you take on our site. Meta may combine this with other data it holds about you if you have a Facebook or Instagram account. Meta's own use of this data is governed by Meta's Privacy Policy.

How to Control Cookies

  • Our cookie banner: when you first visit joinsmac.com, you can Accept or Decline non-essential tracking. Your choice is remembered on that device and browser.
  • Browser settings: most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site, like member login, from working correctly.
  • Meta ad preferences: manage how Meta uses your data for ads at facebook.com/adpreferences.
  • Browser opt-out tools: ad-blocking extensions and browser "Do Not Track" or tracking-protection settings can limit pixel tracking, though we do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals directly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our tracking tools change. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date.
