More than browser cookies
Technology Type
Plain-Language Explanation
Inventory Metadata
HTTP cookie
Small browser-stored value sent with relevant web requests.

Web / local storage
Browser storage that can persist values without being sent automatically with requests.

Tracking pixel / beacon
Request or tiny resource used to record an event or load identifier-linked data.
Vendor, endpoint, event, data fields, consent gate.
Script / tag
Code executed in the page that may read/write data or send events.
Tag owner, vendor, purpose, trigger, blocking rule.
SDK
Software component embedded in an app or web experience.
Provider, version, capabilities, data fields, platform scope.
Fingerprinting / device signals
Use of device/browser characteristics to distinguish or assess devices.
Feature set, purpose, legal review, consent/exception basis.
PURPOSE ARCHITECTURE
Purpose controls the design — not the vendor or technology
| Approved Purpose Family | Allowed Wording | Prohibited Vague Wording |
|---|---|---|
| Service delivery | Maintain session, route requests, remember consent, provide requested feature. | "Improve your experience" without a specific function. |
| Security / integrity | Authenticate, prevent abuse, protect forms, detect malicious traffic. | "Security" used to justify marketing analytics. |
| Preferences / personalization | Remember language, display, or user-selected settings. | "Personalization" that includes behavioral advertising without disclosure. |
| Analytics / measurement | Measure interactions per the approved measurement model. | "Insights" without data fields, retention, or vendor detail. |
| Advertising / audience | Create or use audiences for targeted advertising, if actually deployed and legally permitted. | Silent cross-site profiling or "partners may use data" catch-all. |
STRICTLY NECESSARY TECHNOLOGIES
A reviewed classification, not a convenience label
Subcategory
Qualification Rule
Example Copy Pattern

Security / anti-abuse
Necessary to protect the requested service, authentication, forms, or network integrity.
"Required to protect the site and requested service from abuse."
Session / authentication
Necessary to keep an authenticated or requested session functioning.
"Required to keep you signed in."
THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES & VENDORS

Field
Required Behavior
Provider name

ZoikoSuite purpose
ZoikoSuite-approved purpose, not vendor marketing language.
Party role
First-party context / third-party service / independent controller only if Legal approves the label.
Status
Active; suspended; planned; retired; unknown — "unknown" cannot publish as active.

CONSENT & CHOICE MODEL
Accept, reject, and customize — with equal prominence
Your privacy choices
We use necessary technologies to operate and protect this site. With your permission, we may also use optional technologies for preferences, analytics, and — where applicable — marketing. You can accept, reject, or choose by category.
COOKIE PREFERENCES — COMPANION CONTROL SURFACE
The policy explains. Preferences controls.
Strictly Necessary
Always active — required to provide or secure the service.
Functional / Preferences
Remember optional settings and convenience choices.
Analytics / Measurement
Measure visits, performance, and interaction patterns.
Advertising / Marketing
Not currently used.
BROWSER, DEVICE & PRIVACY SIGNALS
Recognized signals and their limitations
| Signal | Design Rule |
|---|---|
| Global Privacy Control | Where legally applicable and technically supported, routes into the same suppression state as the dedicated opt-out control. |
| Browser cookie controls | Deletion/blocking may affect stored preferences or functionality — not a substitute for the ZoikoSuite preference UX. |
| Do Not Track | No promised response behavior unless Legal/Engineering explicitly supports it. |
| Enterprise-managed browsers | User consent is never inferred from enterprise settings unless Legal has approved the mechanism. |
RETENTION, EXPIRY & DELETION
Cookie duration and server-side retention are distinct
| Concept | Required Explanation |
|---|---|
| Session cookie | Expires at or near the end of the browser/session lifecycle as technically implemented. |
| Persistent cookie | Has a defined maximum expiry, disclosed from the registry. |
| Withdrawal | Stops future optional collection; clearing existing client storage and deleting prior server records are separate controls. |
PUBLIC WEBSITE VS. AUTHENTICATED PRODUCT TELEMETRY
Preventing a common enterprise misunderstanding
This Cookie Policy governs public-web and browser/app storage/access technologies within its stated scope. It does not automatically describe every audit, security, operational, diagnostic, or product event generated inside ZoikoSuite.
| Surface | Primary Governance Source | Design Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Public marketing website | Cookie Policy + Privacy Policy + Preferences | Full cookie/similar-technology disclosure and choice. |
| Sign-in / authentication | Cookie Policy + Security/Privacy controls | Necessary authentication storage explained; optional tags remain separately gated. |
| Authenticated product UI | Product telemetry docs + Privacy Policy + Trust | Core audit/security events are not classified as "cookies" merely because browser storage is involved. |
| Enterprise / sovereign deployment | Deployment docs + DPA / Privacy Architecture | Public-site cookie settings never assumed to control customer-hosted telemetry. |
CHANGES, CHANGE LOG & RE-CONSENT
Fresh consent when the substance changes
| Change Type | Public Treatment | Consent Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Copy clarification only | Update "Last updated"; preserve effective date if Legal approves. | No re-consent. |
| New optional technology | Update inventory and vendor detail. | Existing consent used only if Legal confirms it remains sufficiently specific. |
| New purpose / category | Prominent policy update + preference prompt. | Fresh consent where required. |
| Advertising / profiling change | Material change notice. | Fresh consent / opt-out treatment as applicable. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
What technologies does ZoikoSuite use? Answered from the published, registry-derived inventory covering cookies, storage, pixels, scripts, and SDKs — not a generic list. | + |
Can I reject optional cookies? Yes, through Cookie Preferences — rejecting is as easy as accepting, and public content remains accessible after rejection. | + |
Does ZoikoSuite use advertising cookies? Only if the registry proves current use; the Advertising/Marketing category is shown as "not currently used" otherwise. | + |
Does deleting cookies delete my data? Deleting a browser cookie clears local storage only — it does not delete server-side records unless verified and disclosed separately. | + |
Does ZoikoSuite honor Global Privacy Control? Where legally applicable and technically supported, the recognized signal feeds the same suppression state as the dedicated opt-out control. | + |
How is this different from the Privacy Policy? This policy covers cookies and similar technologies specifically; the Privacy Policy covers the full scope of personal-data practices. | + |
