Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones zonerespawn.com uses, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to remember something about your visit — such as a preference you have chosen. They cannot run programs or access other files on your device.
2. How we ask for consent
On your first visit we show a banner with three equal choices: Accept All, Reject All, and Cookie Settings for per-category control. Nothing beyond essential cookies is set until you make a choice, and rejecting cookies never limits your access to any part of the site. You can change your mind at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
3. The cookies we use
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| zr_consent | Essential | Remembers the cookie choices you made, so we do not ask on every visit. | 180 days |
| Analytics cookies | Analytics | Set only if you consent, to help us understand in aggregate which articles are read. Not currently active. | Up to 12 months |
| Marketing cookies | Marketing | Set only if you consent and only if we run promotional campaigns. Not currently active. | Up to 12 months |
4. Categories explained
- Essential — required for the site to function (for example, remembering your consent choices). These cannot be switched off, because the site would not work correctly without them.
- Analytics — help us understand readership in aggregate. Off by default; used only with your consent.
- Marketing — would be used for promotional campaigns. Off by default; used only with your consent.
5. Third-party content
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts. Font files are fetched from Google's servers when a page loads; this request includes your IP address, as with any web resource. We do not embed social media widgets or advertising trackers.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
Beyond our settings panel, every modern browser lets you view, block and delete cookies for any site. Check your browser's help pages under "cookies" or "site data". Blocking essential cookies may mean the banner reappears on each visit.
