2. Categories of Cookies & Local Storage We Use
Understanding the technical cookies required to run our web platform
- Strictly Necessary Cookies — Essential for authenticated sessions, security CSRF validation, and account access across staff, client, and partner portals. Staff and partner sessions carry a hard 24-hour expiry that is enforced on our server on every request, regardless of how long the cookie itself persists in your browser. The platform cannot function without these cookies.
- Functionality & Preference Cookies — Store session state such as UI preferences, active workspace selections, selected language, or draft signature parameters during document signing flows.
- Performance & Analytics — Help us understand server throughput, API usage stats, and client load times so we can optimize performance. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.
Key Session Tokens
- session_id 24 Hours (hard limit) / Essential
- csrf_token Session / Security
- magic_token 30 Minutes, single-use / Royalty Partner Login
- reset_token 24 Hours, single-use / Password Recovery
- theme_pref 1 Year / Preference
No Third-Party Ad Trackers
SmartDevSystems does not use third-party cross-site ad-tracking networks, data brokers, or targeted advertising cookies.
We only use first-party session tokens and minimal operational cookies necessary to authenticate users, protect forms against spam/CSRF attacks, and ensure system reliability.
3. Managing & Disabling Cookies
Most modern browsers allow you to control cookie settings through their preference panels. You can configure your browser to block all cookies or notify you when a cookie is being set.
Browser Settings
Disable or clear cookies via Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge security settings.
Impact of Disabling
Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging into portal accounts and executing electronic contracts.
Session Expiration
Staff sessions expire automatically after 24 hours regardless of activity, and immediately if you close your browser or log out.
