Cookies are small values stored by your browser. Smart Energy Center uses them for essential site functions and to remember preferences. This initial site does not load advertising or analytics services.
Essential cookies and local storage
Complianz stores consent choices in first-party cookies such as cmplz_functional, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_statistics, cmplz_marketing and cmplz_banner-status. These record settings, not browsing histories. The configured consent preference lifetime is 365 days.
When an article is opened, energy_reader holds a random identifier for up to 30 days. The rating feature uses a hashed version to reduce repeat votes on the same article. It is not a name or email address. Signed-in WordPress users also receive cookies needed for authentication and administrative preferences.
Optional services
There are currently no configured advertising or analytics tags. The consent interface includes settings for optional service categories so the site has a clear place to manage them if added. Accepting a category does not activate a service that has not been configured.
Change your choice
Use the cookie preferences button below or in the footer to review settings. Your browser can also remove or block cookies. Removing cookies can reset your consent choices and article-rating duplicate checks.
