Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Snag Agent (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at snagagent.com (“Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
This Cookie Policy is part of our commitment to be transparent about how we collect and use data. Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Snag Agent) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
Types of Cookies We Use
The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Website functions.

•Security cookies: These help maintain the security of our website and your account.

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

Analytics and Customization Cookies
These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Website for you.

•Google Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
•Heatmap cookies: These track cursor movements and clicks to understand how users navigate our website.
Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.
Examples of advertising cookies we use:

Do Not Track
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are currently not set up to respond to such signals.
