Cookie Policy
This site is built to work without tracking. It sets no cookies and loads nothing from third parties unless analytics has been switched on, and even then only after you say yes. This page lists every cookie and similar technology we may use, what it does, and how to control it.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. "Similar technologies" include browser local storage, pixels and scripts that can identify a device. Laws such as the EU ePrivacy Directive, the UK PECR and the GDPR require your consent before any non-essential cookie is set; US state laws require notice and, in some cases, an opt-out.
2. What we use
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
zq_consent | Local storage (not a cookie) | This site | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so the banner does not reappear. Only created if analytics is enabled and you make a choice. | Until you clear it or reset your choice | Strictly necessary for the choice you made |
_ga, _ga_* | Analytics cookies | Google Analytics 4 (only if enabled) | Distinguishes visitors and sessions to produce aggregated statistics on which pages help people. IP addresses are truncated; no advertising features are used. | Up to 14 months (we set analytics data retention to 14 months) | Only after you click "Accept analytics" |
Current status: analytics is enabled on this site only when our administrators have configured it; when it is not configured, no analytics scripts are loaded, no cookies are set and no banner is shown. Forms on this site submit through your own email application by default, which sets no cookies.
3. Third-party requests
Fonts, icons, styles and scripts are served from this site's own servers, so viewing a page sends no request to any third party. If analytics is enabled and accepted, your browser will contact Google's servers to load the analytics script and send usage events; Google's processing is described in its own privacy policy. If our administrators configure a form-processing service, submitting a form will send your entries to that service; the Privacy Policy lists the categories of providers we use.
4. Your choices
- Banner. When analytics is enabled you see a banner with "Reject non-essential" and "Accept analytics". Rejecting is as easy as accepting, and nothing is set until you choose.
- Change your mind. . The banner will be shown again on the next page load (only if analytics is enabled).
- Browser settings. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the site works fully without them.
5. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal: if your browser sends it, we treat it as a rejection of analytics and will not show the banner or load analytics. We do not respond to the older "Do Not Track" header because there is no accepted standard for it, but as this site does no tracking by default the effect is the same.
6. Changes and contact
We update this page when the cookies we use change. Questions: dpoAdmin, Data Protection Officer, admin@zenius.tech.
