Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit them. They allow the website to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login state, and browsing behavior.

Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide a better user experience. They are not viruses or malware and cannot access or damage the data on your device. However, cookies can be used to track your activity across websites, which is why we give you control over which cookies we set.

In addition to cookies, we use local storage — a browser technology that stores data on your device. Local storage works similarly to cookies but can store more information and does not expire automatically.

We use two categories of cookies on our website:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. Without them, the website cannot operate properly. They enable core functionality such as:

• Security: Authentication cookies that verify you are logged in to the admin control panel and prevent unauthorized access.
• Session management: Cookies that maintain your session when navigating between pages of the control panel.
• Fraud prevention: Cookies that help detect and prevent brute-force login attempts and other security threats.

These cookies cannot be disabled — they are necessary for the site to work and to keep your data secure.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences. They are optional, and you can choose to accept or reject them:

• Theme preference: Saves whether you prefer light or dark mode, so we don't have to ask every time you visit.
• Cookie consent: Remembers your cookie consent choice (accept, reject, or customized) so we don't show the consent banner on every visit.
• Review popup dismissal: Remembers if you've dismissed the "Write a review" popup so it doesn't reappear.

If you reject functional cookies, these features will not work, and you'll see the consent banner each visit.

We are committed to minimal data collection. We do not use the following types of cookies or tracking technologies:

• Advertising cookies: We don't show ads and don't use cookies to serve targeted advertising.
• Third-party analytics cookies: We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar third-party tracking cookies.
• Behavioral profiling cookies: We don't track your activity across other websites to build a behavioral profile.
• Social media cookies: We don't embed social media widgets that set tracking cookies (our social links are plain hyperlinks).
• Retargeting cookies: We don't follow you around the internet with Zoibox ads.

The table below lists all cookies we set:

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the screen. You have three options:

• Accept all: Enables both strictly necessary and functional cookies. This gives you the best experience (theme persistence, no repeat consent banners).
• Reject: Disables functional cookies. Only strictly necessary cookies will be set. The site will still work, but your theme preference won't be saved and you'll see the consent banner on your next visit.
• Preferences: Opens a modal where you can toggle functional cookies on or off individually. You can enable strictly necessary cookies (always on) and choose whether to enable functional cookies.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie settings” button (if available) or by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View all cookies currently stored on your device.
• Delete individual or all cookies.
• Block cookies from specific websites.
• Block all cookies (first-party and third-party).
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set.

Here are links to cookie management guides for major browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of our website — particularly the admin control panel login and theme preferences.

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to store the following data on your device:

• Cookie consent choice: The object { choice, necessary, functional, ts } stored under the key zoibox-cookie-consent-v1.
• Review popup dismissal: Stored under the key zoibox-review-popup-dismissed.

Local storage data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or by clearing site data in your browser settings.

Our website uses the following third-party services that may set their own cookies or process data:

• Neon PostgreSQL: Our database hosting provider. Does not set cookies on your browser but stores data you submit (contact forms, reviews, newsletter subscriptions) on their servers in the United States (AWS us-east-2).
• Social media links: Our footer contains links to our social media profiles. These are plain hyperlinks — we do not embed social widgets that would set tracking cookies. However, once you click through to a social platform, their cookie policies apply.

We do not use any advertising networks, analytics platforms, or marketing automation tools that set tracking cookies.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie usage, legal requirements, or best practices. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, if we add new categories of cookies, we will update the consent banner to ask for your preference again.
