1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Zapic ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our social media automation platform.

We are committed to transparency and privacy-by-design. All cookies we use directly are either strictly necessary for the platform to function or are privacy-focused analytics that do not track individuals or collect personal identifiable information.

✓ Privacy-First Approach

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or social media pixels. Our analytics solution (Umami) is GDPR-compliant and respects user privacy without requiring a cookie consent banner.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language, login status, and other settings that can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.2. Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website:

Our analytics solution is privacy-focused and GDPR-compliant, using Umami Analytics which doesn't track personal data or require consent banners under GDPR regulations.

These cookies and local storage enhance functionality and personalization:

Note: Local Storage data remains on your device and is only used when you interact with specific features of the platform.

Currently, we do not use targeting or advertising cookies on our platform. If we implement such features in the future, we will update this policy and request your explicit consent before placing any advertising cookies.

  • Legitimate interest (Analytics): Umami Analytics is a privacy-focused analytics service that does not collect personal identifiable information and complies with GDPR requirements without requiring explicit consent.

Important: Our analytics solution (Umami) is designed with privacy in mind and does not track individuals, collect personal data, or use tracking cookies that require consent under GDPR. All data is anonymized and aggregated.
