This page explains which cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies may be used on ZVM Labs.
Short version: the site does not use advertising cookies, does not create advertising profiles, and does not sell personal data. Local browser data is mainly used for reading convenience, and analytics are used for aggregated article view counts.
Current State
| Technology | Purpose | Advertising tracking |
|---|---|---|
localStorage for theme | Saves light, dark, or automatic theme | No |
localStorage for menu | Saves top-menu scroll position | No |
localStorage for reading modes | Saves available interface preferences, where used | No |
localStorage for home intro | Remembers that the home-page brand intro has already been shown in this browser | No |
| GoatCounter | Aggregated publication view counts | No |
| Hosting server logs | Availability, troubleshooting, security | No |
ZVM Labs does not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, behavioral profiling, or selling/sharing data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
localStorage
localStorage is browser storage on your device. It may be used to save technical interface preferences, such as:
- selected visual theme;
- menu scroll position;
- reading or accessibility modes;
- whether the home-page brand intro has already been shown;
- state of some interface elements.
These values stay in your browser. They are not intended to identify you personally and are not used for advertising.
GoatCounter Analytics
ZVM Labs uses GoatCounter for privacy-friendly, aggregated article view counts. The counter helps understand which materials are read, which topics are useful, and where the site structure should improve.
GoatCounter is not used for advertising, retargeting, or building an individual reader profile. The script loads from https://gc.zgo.at/count.js, and statistics are associated with https://vasiazozulia.goatcounter.com.
Browser Controls
You can:
- clear cookies and site data in your browser settings;
- block third-party scripts or tracker requests through browser settings or extensions;
- clear
localStoragefor thezvm.ukdomain; - use private browsing mode;
- disable JavaScript if you need a more static reading mode, with the understanding that some interface conveniences may stop working.
If Technologies Change
If ZVM Labs adds non-essential cookies, advertising technologies, embedded content with tracking, paid conversion tracking, or another analytics provider in the future, this page should be updated before or when that change goes live.
For non-essential cookies or similar technologies that require consent under applicable rules, the site should provide a clear way to accept, reject, or change preferences.
