Last updated:
Zinochat (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website https://zinochat.com and our web application at https://app.zinochat.com (together, the “Site”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding their use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.
Cookies may be first-party (set by our Site) or third-party (set by services we use). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt out of these cookies.
- Functional Cookies: These remember preferences that make the Site easier to use. We do not currently use any functional cookies on our website.
- Analytics and Performance Cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages they view and how they arrived. We use this data to improve performance and user experience.
- Advertising Cookies: These are set through the Meta Pixel, a tool provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”), and the OpenAI Ads Pixel, a tool provided by OpenAI, L.L.C. (“OpenAI”). They help us measure how well our advertising on Facebook, Instagram, and ChatGPT works, count sign-ups that result from those ads, and show our ads to relevant audiences. Meta may use the information collected to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on its platforms.
