1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Softmatica, Inc. ("Softmatica," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit softmatica.net or interact with our marketing pages. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle personal data more broadly. By continuing to use our site after making a choice in the cookie banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described here, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember information about your visit, like your preferred settings or whether you have seen a particular banner, which can make your next visit easier and the site more useful. Some cookies are set by us directly ("first-party cookies"), and others are set by services we use to run analytics or advertising on our behalf ("third-party cookies"). We also use related technologies such as pixels, local storage, and SDKs, which this policy refers to collectively as "cookies" for simplicity.
3. Types of cookies we use
We group the cookies on softmatica.net into four categories. You can control the non-essential categories through the cookie banner or the preferences link in our footer.
Required for the site to function: keeping you logged into a demo session, remembering your cookie choice, and basic load-balancing. These cannot be switched off, since the site cannot work without them.
Remember choices you make, like your preferred theme (light or dark mode) or a partially completed form, so you do not have to re-enter them on every visit.
Help us understand how visitors use softmatica.net, which pages are popular, and where people run into trouble, so we can improve the site. Data is aggregated and does not identify you individually.
Used to measure the performance of our marketing campaigns and, where permitted, to show you more relevant Softmatica ads on other sites. These are the cookies most affected by a "Reject" choice.
4. Cookie declaration
The table below lists the categories of cookies in use on softmatica.net and roughly how long each type persists. Specific vendors and cookie names may change as we update our tooling; this table reflects our current configuration.
| Category | Purpose | Typical duration | Can be disabled? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session state, load balancing, cookie consent record | Session – 12 months | |
| Functionality | Theme preference, in-progress form data | Up to 12 months | |
| Analytics | Page views, referral source, on-site behavior | Up to 24 months | |
| Advertising | Campaign attribution, retargeting, frequency capping | Up to 12 months |
5. Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit softmatica.net, a banner lets you Accept or Reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Info" link in the footer of any page, which reopens the preference banner. You can also block or delete cookies directly through your browser settings; note that blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the site, like saved form progress or theme preference, to stop working correctly. Most browsers let you review and delete cookies already stored on your device, and set a general preference to block cookies from specific sites or all sites going forward.
6. Third-party cookies
Some cookies on our site are placed by third-party services we use for analytics, advertising measurement, and, on certain pages, embedded content. These providers may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. We select and configure these providers, but do not control how they individually process data once it leaves our systems. Disabling advertising or analytics cookies through our banner instructs these providers not to set non-essential cookies on your visit, to the extent the provider supports that signal.
7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers and extensions send a "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Where required by applicable law, we treat a detected GPC signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and the use of non-essential advertising cookies for that visit, consistent with the choice available in our cookie banner.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and technologies we use or in applicable law. Material changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, accompanied by a renewed prompt to review your preferences.
