Cookie Policy
Effective date: 20 February 2026 · Last updated: 20 February 2026
This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the zivantoes website, and how you can manage them. You can also update your preferences directly from this page.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow a website to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, which pages you viewed, and whether you've been to the site before.
Cookies are not programs and cannot access files on your device. Most websites use them in some form. Browsers generally accept cookies by default, but you can change your browser settings to decline them if you prefer — though this may affect how some parts of a website function.
2. Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Always active)
These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They handle things like session management and remembering your cookie consent choice.
Examples: session cookie, cookieConsent · Duration: Session or up to 12 months
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
These help us understand how visitors interact with the website in aggregate — which pages are visited most, where people arrive from, and how they navigate. We use this to improve the site. Data is anonymised.
Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) · Duration: Up to 26 months
Marketing Cookies (Optional)
These are used to personalise advertising and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. They may be set by third-party services such as Google Ads.
Examples: _gcl_au, fr (Facebook) · Duration: Up to 90 days
Preference Cookies (Optional)
These remember choices you've made — such as language or display settings — so you don't need to re-enter them on each visit.
Examples: userLang, displayPref · Duration: Up to 12 months
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some features of our website may involve cookies set by third-party services. These are subject to the respective third-party privacy policies:
- Google Analytics — aggregated visitor behaviour data
- Google Ads — campaign measurement (if marketing cookies are enabled)
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel — advertising attribution (if marketing cookies are enabled)
We do not control these third-party cookies directly. You can opt out of Google Analytics measurement by using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies can be either session cookies — which expire when you close your browser — or persistent cookies — which remain on your device until their set expiry date or until you delete them.
- Essential cookies: session-based or up to 12 months
- Analytics cookies: up to 26 months (standard Google Analytics window)
- Marketing cookies: typically 30–90 days depending on the platform
- Preference cookies: up to 12 months
