1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device. Similar technologies, such as your browser's local storage, work in much the same way. They help sites remember your choices, work properly and, if you allow it, understand how they are used. This policy covers cookies and similar technologies on zestreelraccon.com, operated by Zestreel Horology Media Ltd (Company No. 14872306).
2. How we use them
We keep our use of cookies to a minimum. At the time of writing, the Site uses only the strictly necessary storage listed below to remember your cookie choice. Optional categories for functional, analytics and marketing storage exist so that you remain in control if we introduce them. Optional scripts will not load unless you have allowed that category.
3. Categories
- Strictly necessary: required for the Site to work or to honour your consent choice. These do not need consent under UK law (PECR) and cannot be switched off in our settings.
- Functional: remember preferences that improve your experience. Used only with your consent.
- Analytics: give us anonymous statistics about which pages are read, to improve our guides. Used only with your consent.
- Marketing: would be used for partner or advertising content. We do not currently use any, and it stays off unless you opt in.
4. Storage we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| zr_cookie_consent_v1 | Local storage (strictly necessary) | Stores which cookie categories you accepted or rejected, so the banner is not shown again. | Until you clear your browser data |
| zr_consent | First-party cookie (strictly necessary) | Backup flag indicating that you have made a choice, in case local storage is unavailable. | 12 months |
The cookie banner appears only until you make a choice. Once you accept, reject or save preferences, it will not return on later visits or on other pages, unless you clear your browser data or we materially change how we use cookies.
5. Your choices
When you first visit, a banner lets you choose Accept All or open Preferences to select categories individually. You can change your mind at any time:
- Select here or in the footer of any page.
- Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before you withdrew it.
6. Browser controls
Most browsers let you view, block and delete cookies and local storage through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may mean we cannot remember your choice, so the banner may reappear. Guidance is available at aboutcookies.org.
7. Third-party content
The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts and photography from Unsplash. When your browser requests these resources, those providers receive technical information such as your IP address, as with any web request. Please see their own policies for details. Links to external sites, such as watch manufacturers, are governed by those sites' policies.
8. Changes
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes. If we introduce new categories, we will ask for your consent again where needed.
