This Cookie Policy is supplemented by our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device, keep your session active, remember preferences or analyse how the Website is used.

In this policy, the term “cookies” also includes similar technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, technical identifiers, scripts, pixels and other mechanisms used to store or access information on your device.

2. Types of cookies by duration

• Session cookies – temporary cookies that are usually deleted when the browser is closed or when the session expires.
• Persistent cookies – cookies that remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them.
• Local or session storage – data stored by the browser in localStorage/sessionStorage. localStorage may remain until manually deleted, while sessionStorage is usually deleted when the browser tab or browser is closed.

3. Categories of cookies used on the Website

3.1. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the Website to function, including security, session management, consent preferences, cart, checkout, payment flows or similar technical functions. They cannot be disabled from the cookie panel, but they can be blocked from your browser settings. If you block them, some Website functions may not work correctly.

3.2. Performance / analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand, at an aggregated level, how the Website is used, which pages are visited and how we can improve the user experience. They are activated only if you consent to the “Performance” category.

3.3. Functionality cookies

These cookies and similar technologies allow additional functions, such as Google Maps, the AI/chat assistant or the storage of certain interface choices. They are activated only if you consent to the “Functionality” category, except where a function is strictly necessary for a service expressly requested by you.

3.4. Marketing / targeting cookies

These cookies may be used for advertising campaign measurement, remarketing, ad personalisation or frequency capping. In the code reviewed for the Website, no active scripts for Meta Pixel, Google Ads / DoubleClick, TikTok Pixel, Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity were identified. If we activate such technologies, they will be blocked until consent is obtained and this policy will be updated.

• Google Analytics – may be used for statistics and performance measurement if enabled through Website scripts. It must be loaded only after consent for the “Performance” category.

• Google Cloud AI / Gen App Builder – may be used for the AI/chat assistant. The script must be loaded only after consent for the “Functionality” category or after an explicit user request.
• Netopia Payments – may be used for payment processing. The payment is processed through the payment processor’s platform, according to its own policies. ZADA does not store full card details.
• External links – the Website may contain links to third-party services such as ANPC, ADR/ODR, Netopia or social networks. If you access these links, those websites may use their own cookies and policies.

6. How can you manage your consent?

When you first access the Website, a cookie consent panel is displayed. You can:

• accept all optional cookies;
• refuse all optional cookies;
• select the categories you want individually;
• change your preferences later through the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

Closing the banner without making an explicit choice should not be interpreted as acceptance of optional cookies. If you have not given consent, optional cookies must remain disabled.

You can also delete or block cookies from your browser settings. However, if you block strictly necessary cookies, some Website functionalities may not work correctly.

7. How can you delete cookies from your browser?

Browser settings differ depending on the browser. They are usually found under “Settings”, “Privacy and security”, “Cookies and site data” or a similar section. You can also consult general information about cookie management at: https://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/ .

We may update this Cookie Policy when legal, technical or operational changes occur, including when we add, remove or modify third-party services that use cookies or similar technologies. The updated version will be published on this page.
