1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, workstation, or mobile device when you access our website. They enable our web servers to recognize your browser, retain preferences, maintain security tokens, and analyze aggregate navigation patterns so we can optimize portal performance.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies and browser storage mechanisms on our platform into three distinct operational tiers:

These cookies are indispensable for website functionality and security. They manage CSRF protection, AJAX form submissions, user sessions, and store your cookie consent preference (smnx_cookie_consent).

Status: Controlled by User Consent
These cookies collect aggregate, anonymized metrics on page load times, popular infrastructure whitepapers, and navigation flow to help us identify bottlenecks and enhance responsiveness.
3. Functional & Preference Cookies

These enable our portal to remember your choices (such as product category tab selections, preferred viewing units, or saved consultation inquiry states) to streamline your experience.
