Cookie Policy for Zinc

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how visitors use their site.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website and the Zinc application to function. They enable you to navigate the site and use secure areas (like logging into your dashboard). Without these cookies, the Service cannot be provided.

B. Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and application. This helps us improve our Service and fix technical issues. We utilize the following third-party analytics tools:

1. PostHog

We use PostHog to analyze user behavior on our platform. PostHog helps us understand which features are used most often, where users encounter errors, and how we can improve the user interface.

• Purpose: Product analytics, feature usage tracking, and error logging.
• Data Collected: Anonymous ID, page views, clicks, and session recordings (if enabled).

2. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure web traffic and understand how users arrive at our site.

• Purpose: Traffic analysis, geographic data, and referral sources.
• Data Collected: Client ID, geographical region, device type, browser type, and referring source.

Note: We configure our analytics tools to anonymize data where possible (e.g., anonymizing IP addresses in Google Analytics).

C. Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your login details, language preference, or cookie consent preferences) and provide enhanced, personalized features.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Please note that third parties (including PostHog and Google) may use cookies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them:

• PostHog Privacy Policy: https://posthog.com/privacy
• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4. Your Choices and Consent

In certain regions (such as the European Economic Area), we will ask for your consent to place non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies) on your device.

You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner when you first visit the site. You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing your browser settings or by contacting us.

5. How to Control and Delete Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.

You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you block or delete cookies, some features of the Zinc Service may not function correctly (e.g., you may not be able to log in or retain your session).

Here are links to manage cookies for popular browsers:

• Google Chrome: Manage Cookies in Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox: Cookies in Firefox
• Safari: Manage Cookies in Safari
• Microsoft Edge: Cookies in Edge

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. We currently respond to Do Not Track signals by disabling the storage of analytics cookies where technically possible, but because there is no common standard for how to interpret DNT signals, we cannot guarantee complete compliance with all DNT settings.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology or legislation. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
