1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Zorywire uses cookies, browser storage, network requests, and similar technologies on the public site and in non-public admin areas.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. If this policy changes, we will update the date above.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies include browser storage, session storage, and network requests that help a site operate, remember choices, secure access, or measure basic usage.
3. Categories we use
Zorywire uses two categories of technologies:
- Necessary technologies, which are required to operate and secure the Site.
- Basic analytics, which uses a basic analytics provider for audience measurement and can be turned off.
4. Necessary technologies
Necessary technologies are used to operate the Site, protect access-controlled areas, remember privacy choices, and maintain security. They are always on because the Site or a requested feature may not work properly without them.
5. Basic analytics
We use a basic analytics provider for audience measurement. This helps us understand aggregate site usage, such as page views, popular pages, referring websites, device and browser types, entry pages, exit pages, and general usage patterns.
This use is limited to aggregate statistics and Site improvement. It is not used to identify public readers, create reader profiles, track users across websites, or for advertising.
Basic analytics may use browser storage or cookies while it is enabled so the analytics SDK can maintain anonymous visit and session state.
You can object to basic analytics at any time through Cookie settings.
6. How to object or change choices
You can turn basic analytics off or back on at any time. Turning basic analytics off does not block access to the Site.
7. Technologies we use
The table below summarises the main technologies we use. It is written to help readers understand what is used, why it is used, whether anything is stored on their device, and whether it can be turned off.
