This policy explains what cookies Zapfile sets, why each one exists, and how you can manage them. We aim to use as few cookies as possible while keeping the site functional and measurable.
Zapfile uses necessary cookies that the site requires to function, analytics cookies to understand traffic, and advertising cookies served by Google AdSense. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or track you across unrelated websites beyond what Google Analytics and Google AdSense require to operate.
These cookies are required for the site to function correctly and cannot be disabled. They do not track you for advertising purposes and contain no personally identifiable information. They are set automatically when you visit the site.
