At ZapKido, we use cookies and similar technologies to help our website function properly, understand how visitors use our content, and support services such as advertising where applicable.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how they may be used on ZapKido, and the choices available to visitors.
By continuing to use ZapKido, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used in accordance with this policy and your applicable privacy choices.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can store on your device when you visit a page. They allow a website to remember certain information about your visit or recognize your browser during later visits.
Cookies can serve different purposes. Some are necessary for basic website functions, while others help website owners understand traffic, remember preferences, measure performance, or provide relevant advertising.
Similar technologies, such as pixels, local storage, and other browser-based identifiers, may also be used for some of these purposes.
2. How ZapKido Uses Cookies
Depending on the services enabled on the website, ZapKido may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Essential Website Functions
Some cookies may be necessary for the website to operate correctly. They can support basic functions such as security, navigation, page functionality, or remembering certain technical settings.
These cookies are generally used because they are needed to provide a functioning website rather than for advertising purposes.
Website Preferences
Certain cookies may help remember choices made by visitors, such as preferences related to website functionality.
Using these technologies can make repeat visits more convenient by reducing the need to provide the same information again.
Website Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with ZapKido.
Analytics information can help us identify which pages are useful, understand general traffic patterns, find technical problems, and improve the organization and usefulness of the website.
Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about website activity. The information collected may include details such as pages viewed, approximate geographic information, browser or device information, referral information, and general interaction data.
Advertising
If advertising services such as Google AdSense are used on ZapKido, advertising providers may use cookies and similar technologies to serve, measure, and improve advertisements.
Depending on the advertising settings and applicable consent requirements, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
Personalized advertising may use information about a visitor’s previous activity to make advertisements more relevant. Non-personalized advertising generally relies on contextual information rather than a visitor’s previous browsing activity.
Google explains that even non-personalized advertising can use cookies or similar identifiers for purposes such as frequency capping and aggregated reporting where applicable.
For more information about how Google uses information when you use sites or apps that use its services, please review Google’s information about data use.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on ZapKido may be placed by third-party service providers rather than directly by ZapKido.
For example, advertising, analytics, security, embedded content, or other services used on the website may place or access cookies or similar technologies.
These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
When Google advertising products are used, Google and its advertising partners may place or read cookies, use web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers as part of advertising and measurement activities.
The specific third-party providers involved can depend on the services and advertising settings enabled on the website.
4. Your Cookie Choices
Where applicable law requires consent before ZapKido uses certain cookies or similar technologies, ZapKido will provide an appropriate consent mechanism.
Visitors may be able to accept, reject, or manage categories of cookies through the consent options presented on the website.
Your available choices depend on your location and the services ZapKido is currently using.
If you have already provided consent and later want to change your preferences, you can use the available privacy or cookie settings option on the website.
Where Google’s consent management system is used, Google may provide a mechanism that allows eligible visitors to review or change their consent choices.
5. Cookies and Your Browser
Most modern web browsers allow you to control or delete cookies through their settings.
You can usually configure your browser to block certain cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you before a cookie is stored.
However, blocking all cookies may affect some website functions and may prevent certain features from working as intended.
Because browser settings vary between devices and browsers, you should consult your browser’s own help documentation for instructions on managing cookies.
6. How Long Cookies Remain
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session cookies generally remain on your device only while your browser session is active and are removed when the session ends.
Persistent cookies remain for a specified period or until they are deleted. Their duration can vary depending on the service that created the cookie and the purpose for which it is used.
Because ZapKido may use different third-party services, cookie durations can change when those services or their configurations are updated.
7. Information That May Be Associated With Cookies
Cookies themselves do not necessarily contain information that directly identifies you.
However, information collected through cookies or similar technologies may sometimes be associated with other information held by a service provider.
Depending on the technology and service involved, information may include browser or device information, approximate location, pages visited, referring websites, general interaction information, and advertising or measurement identifiers.
The type and amount of information collected depends on the particular service being used.
For information about how ZapKido handles personal information more generally, please review our Privacy Policy.
8. Google Advertising and Privacy
If Google advertising products are used on ZapKido, Google may process information in connection with advertising, measurement, and related services.
Google may use cookies or similar technologies when delivering advertisements or measuring advertising activity.
Where required, visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland will be provided with appropriate consent choices for the use of cookies or local storage and for the processing of personal information for personalized advertising.
Google’s policies and technologies may change over time. For current information about Google’s handling of data on publisher websites, visitors can review Google’s relevant privacy and data-use information.
9. Managing Advertising Consent
If a consent-management system is available, you can use it to manage your choices about advertising cookies and related data processing.
If you initially provide consent and later change your mind, you should be able to revisit the available privacy or cookie settings and update your choices.
Your ability to change or withdraw consent does not necessarily affect processing that occurred lawfully before the withdrawal.
10. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, services, advertising arrangements, analytics tools, or legal requirements change.
When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this page.
Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically so they remain aware of how cookies and similar technologies may be used on ZapKido.
