1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small cryptographic text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit web applications. They allow websites to remember state, maintain security sessions, prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and gather anonymous aggregated performance telemetry.

2. Our Commitment to Data Minimization

ZA AGENCY prioritizes clean, lightweight web engineering. We do not use intrusive third-party cross-site advertising trackers. We limit our cookie usage strictly to essential technical operations and privacy-preserving performance diagnostics.
