1. What Are Cookies?

3. Cookie Categories

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for SmartlyServe to function. Without them, you cannot log in or use the platform. These cookies cannot be disabled while using the Service. They are set by us and stored locally in your browser (localStorage).

Security Cookies

We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect login and registration forms from automated abuse. Google's own privacy policy applies to these cookies: policies.google.com/privacy. If you disable reCAPTCHA cookies, form submissions may be blocked.

Functional Cookies

Google Fonts loads our chosen typefaces from Google's servers. This results in Google receiving your IP address. See Google's Privacy Policy. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

4. What We Do NOT Use

5. Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from using SmartlyServe. Browser-specific instructions:

6. Local Storage

The SmartlyServe app (not the landing page) stores your login session and bakery settings in browser localStorage rather than cookies. This is local to your device and is not transmitted to third parties. It is cleared when you log out.

7. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new features. Material changes will be notified in-app.
