About cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include browser local storage and pixels. Some storage is needed for the site to work; analytics and marketing technologies are optional and stay off unless you choose them.
How we ask for consent
On your first visit you will see a banner with three options: Manage cookies, Reject non-essential, or Accept all. Accept and Reject non-essential are presented with equal prominence. You can change your choice anytime by clicking Cookie preferences in the footer.
Your choice is stored in browser local storage and in a strictly necessary first-party cookie called zbang_consent. The cookie stores the policy version, category choices, timestamp, and expiry so our server can verify marketing consent before any server-side conversion forwarding. Where technically possible, this cookie may be set for .zbang.ai so your choice can be respected across Zbang subdomains. We do not use this consent cookie for tracking.
Reject choices, including managed choices where all optional categories are off, are stored for about six months. Choices that opt into analytics or marketing are stored for about twelve months, unless this policy or the technologies change sooner.

Withdrawal and browser controls
You can withdraw analytics or marketing consent from Cookie preferences. When you withdraw, we stop future tracking calls from our code and try to delete known first-party Google Analytics and Meta cookies such as _ga, _ga_*, _gid, _fbp, and _fbc.
Most browsers also let you view and clear cookies from their settings. For a walkthrough, see aboutcookies.org.
