Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The Zim uses cookies and similar technologies on this website (the-zim.pages.dev and any associated subdomains, the "Site"). It supplements our Privacy Policy.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make sites work, to remember preferences, and to provide statistics or advertising.

2. What we use

We use the minimum cookies necessary to operate and secure the Site. We do not set marketing, analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies of our own.

Strictly necessary (always on)

Name	Set by	Purpose	Duration
__cf_bm	Cloudflare	Bot management — distinguishes humans from automated requests to protect the Site from abuse.	~30 minutes (rolling)
cf_clearance	Cloudflare	Records that a visitor has passed a security challenge so they aren't repeatedly challenged.	Up to 1 year

These cookies are essential for the Site to function safely. Disabling them may cause the Site to fail to load or to repeatedly issue security challenges.

Cookies we do not set

• No analytics cookies (no Google Analytics, Plausible, etc.).
• No advertising or remarketing cookies.
• No social-network tracking pixels.
• No personalization cookies.

3. Third-party requests

The Site loads webfonts from Google Fonts when you open a page. Google does not set tracking cookies in this delivery flow, but it does receive technical request data (IP, user-agent) to deliver the font files. Google's handling of that data is governed by Google's privacy policy.

4. Local storage and similar tech

The Site does not use local storage, session storage, IndexedDB, or fingerprinting techniques to track you across visits. Some media players in your browser may cache video segments while the trailer or intro plays; this is standard browser caching, not a tracking cookie.

5. Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Steps vary by browser:

• Safari: Settings → Safari → Privacy & Security → Block All Cookies.
• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage cookies.

Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the Site from loading or functioning correctly.

6. Do Not Track

Because the Site does not perform tracking, our behavior does not change based on Do Not Track signals. We respect those signals by default.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
