COOKIE NOTICE & POLICY

SMHa, Inc.

Our Approach

At SMHa, thoughtful design extends beyond the built environment. We believe your experience with our website should be transparent, accessible, and respectful of your privacy.

This Cookie Notice & Cookie Policy explains how SMHa, Inc. (“SMHa,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It also describes the choices available to you regarding the use of cookies.

By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described in this Policy, subject to your browser settings and any cookie preferences you select.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function efficiently, remember certain preferences, improve security, and provide information about how visitors use a website.

Cookies do not typically contain information that directly identifies you. However, information collected through cookies may be associated with other technical information collected during your visit.

How SMHa Uses Cookies

SMHa uses a limited number of cookies to support the operation and improvement of our website.

We do not use cookies to sell personal information or to deliver targeted advertising.

The cookies used on our website generally fall into the following categories.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation and security of our website. These cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation, website security, and basic performance.

Because these cookies are required for the website to function properly, they cannot be disabled through our website.

Examples may include cookies that:

Maintain website security
Enable page functionality
Help prevent malicious activity
Support basic website performance

Analytics Cookies

SMHa uses Google Analytics to understand better how visitors interact with our website.

Analytics cookies help us understand information such as:

Which pages are visited most frequently
How visitors navigate the website
Approximate geographic regions of visitors
Device and browser types
Time spent on pages
General website performance

The information collected is aggregated and used to improve the usability, performance, and content of our website. We do not use Google Analytics to identify individual visitors.

For more information about how Google collects and processes data, please review Google’s Privacy Policy and related documentation.

Marketing Cookies

SMHa does not use advertising, remarketing, behavioral advertising, or marketing cookies on its website.

We do not use advertising platforms such as Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tracking technologies.

If our website practices change in the future, this Policy will be updated accordingly.

Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services integrated into our website, such as embedded maps, videos, or social media content (if used), may place their own cookies.

SMHa does not control these third-party cookies or the information collected through them. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you choose to interact with.

How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies generally fall into two categories:

Session Cookies

Session cookies remain on your device only while your browser is open. They are automatically removed when your browsing session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted manually. These cookies help websites remember certain preferences and improve future visits.

Google Analytics may use persistent cookies with varying expiration periods in accordance with Google’s practices.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most web browsers allow you to manage or disable cookies through browser settings.

You may choose to:

View cookies stored on your device
Delete existing cookies
Block certain cookies
Block all cookies
Receive notifications before cookies are placed

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality and your browsing experience.

Information about managing cookies is available through your browser provider’s support resources.

Google Analytics Opt-Out

If you prefer not to have your website activity measured by Google Analytics, Google provides an Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on that allows you to opt out of Google Analytics across participating websites.

Additional information about Google Analytics is available from Google.

Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting.

Because there is currently no universally accepted standard governing how websites should respond to DNT signals, SMHa does not currently respond differently to browsers that transmit these signals.

Should an industry standard become widely adopted, we may revise this Policy accordingly.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

SMHa may update this Cookie Notice & Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or website functionality.

Your continued use of the website following the posting of changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
