Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 7, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how needgetsms.com (“NeedGetSMS”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies (local storage, pixels), what they do, and how you can change your choices. It is consistent with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. Some are strictly necessary; others are used only with your consent where the law requires it.
2. Cookies and storage we use
| Category | Example | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choice so the banner does not reappear. | 12 months |
| Essential | i18nextLng | Remembers your language preference. | 12 months |
| Analytics (only if enabled) | Google Analytics cookies | Understand traffic and improve the site. Not enabled unless consented where required. | Up to 24 months |
| Advertising (not currently enabled) | Google AdSense / ad personalisation cookies | Serve and measure advertising. Only used after approval and, where required, after a valid consent choice. | Varies by vendor |
3. Your choices
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the banner shown on your first visit, and change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings (which resets the stored choice) or by using your browser's cookie controls.
Declining non-essential cookies does not block access to the service — essential storage is still needed for basic operation. For personalised advertising controls, see Google's Ads Settings.
4. Consent and EU/UK visitors
Where applicable law requires it (for example, for personalised advertising to users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland), non-essential cookies are not set until you make an affirmative choice. Our banner offers a real accept and decline option — continuing to browse the site by itself is not treated as consent for non-essential cookies. If Google personalised advertising is later enabled, a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework will be used for those regions.
