Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 23, 2026

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They allow websites to "remember" your preferences, recognize you on subsequent visits, and provide a personalized experience.

In addition to traditional cookies, modern web technologies also include HTML5 Web Storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) — a local browser storage mechanism, similar in functionality but technically different. This policy covers both cookies and the use of local storage.

2. Essential local storage (HTML5 Web Storage)

Zeff Scout primarily uses localStorage (HTML5 local storage) for application functionality, instead of traditional cookies. Local storage is used exclusively on the application domain and is not automatically transmitted to the server with each HTTP request, unlike cookies.

From a legal standpoint, the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) primarily regulates cookies. Local storage used exclusively for essential functionalities (authentication, user preferences) benefits from the exception for "strictly necessary technical storage" and does not require consent.

2.1 Essential local storage keys

The following keys are stored in your browser via localStorage, exclusively for the proper functioning of the platform:

KeyPurposeDuration
emag_tokenAuthentication token for the active sessionUntil logout
emag_refreshSession refresh tokenUntil logout
zs_cached_planActive subscription plan (local cache for performance)Until logout
zs_langLanguage preference (RO/EN)Persistent
cookie_consentRemembering your cookie preferencesPersistent

This data is stored exclusively locally, in your browser. It is not automatically transmitted to third-party servers and can be deleted at any time by clearing site data in your browser settings.

3. Analytics cookies (optional — requires consent)

If you provide explicit consent, we may use Google Analytics to understand how the platform is used and to improve it. The collected data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

NameProviderPurposeDuration

_gidGoogle AnalyticsVisitor differentiation24 hours

These cookies are set only if you explicitly accept analytics cookies through the consent banner. Without your consent, Google Analytics is not activated.

4. Marketing cookies (optional — requires consent)

If you provide explicit consent, we may use Facebook Pixel (Meta Platforms) for remarketing campaigns. These cookies are activated only with your consent.

5. Third-party cookies

Certain platform functionalities use external services that may set their own cookies:

6. How to control cookies and local storage

6.1 From the site banner

On your first visit, we display a banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing). You can change your preferences at any time.

6.2 From your browser

All modern browsers allow managing cookies and local storage data from their settings:

Warning: if you clear essential local storage (localStorage), you will be logged out of the platform and will need to log in again.

7. Policy changes

This policy may be updated periodically. The current version will always be available on this page, with the date of the last update shown at the top.
