Cookie policy
A cookie is a small file that a website stores in your browser. We use very few: those the site needs in order to work and, only if you accept, Google Analytics cookies to measure traffic. This policy follows the Belgian Act of 13 June 2005 on electronic communications (art. 129) and the recommendations of the Data Protection Authority.
1. Our principles
- No non-essential cookie is set before you choose.
- Refusing is as easy as accepting: both buttons sit at the same level in the banner.
- You choose by category and can change your mind at any time with “Manage my cookies” at the bottom of every page.
- Your choice is kept for 6 months at most, after which we ask again. It applies to zoolinko.com and its subdomains (app., panel.).
- We keep proof of your choice (random identifier, date, choices, policy version), without your name or IP address.
- No advertising cookies, no social network trackers.

Local storage: to work offline, the site may keep a copy of some public pages in your browser (service worker). The web and mobile apps keep your sign-in token and preferences on your device. These are strictly necessary and are not used to track you.
Third-party content: maps (OpenStreetMap) set no cookie, but your browser contacts their servers to display map tiles. The Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn icons are plain links: nothing is loaded from those networks unless you click.
3. Audience measurement
If you accept, we use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are viewed, for how long and from which type of device. The data are statistical; we do not use Google’s advertising features. If you refuse, Google Analytics is not loaded. Separately from cookies, our server keeps technical logs (pages viewed, IP address) for security and internal statistics: see the privacy policy.
4. Managing your choices
You can also delete cookies in your browser settings; the banner will then reappear on your next visit. If you withdraw your consent, audience measurement cookies are deleted.
