ZyCloud Cookie Policy
Effective: 2026-05-08
We use a small number of cookies. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. The list below is the entire list.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a tiny file your browser stores. It lets us remember things between requests — for example, that you are signed in.
What we use cookies for
| Name | Purpose | Scope | Duration | Strictly necessary? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
zycloud_session | sign-in session | cloud.zyqual.com | session | yes |
zycloud_csrf | CSRF protection | cloud.zyqual.com | session | yes |
zycloud_remember | "stay signed in" | cloud.zyqual.com | 30 days | yes (if you opted in) |
zycloud_locale | UI language preference | cloud.zyqual.com | 1 year | no — preference only |
That's it. We do not set any third-party cookies on the marketing site or the app.
Analytics
We use Cloudflare Analytics for traffic measurement on the marketing site. Cloudflare Analytics is privacy-respecting and does not set cookies on your browser.
For product analytics inside the app (signup → upload → share funnels) we use a self-hosted PostHog instance. PostHog does set a session cookie scoped to cloud.zyqual.com only — posthog-distinct-id. You can opt out from account settings and the cookie will be cleared on your next sign-in.
Marketing trackers
None. We do not run Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Hotjar, or any similar third-party script.
Local storage
We use browser local storage (which isn't a cookie, but functionally similar) for:
- Your in-progress upload queue, so a tab refresh doesn't lose work.
- Your last-opened folder, so we land you back where you were.
- Your selected theme.
These are scoped to cloud.zyqual.com. Clearing your browser storage clears them.
How to refuse or remove cookies
You can refuse cookies in your browser settings. If you refuse zycloud_session you cannot use the app — that's the cookie that keeps you signed in.
To clear ZyCloud cookies in your browser:
- Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy → Cookies → See all site data → search
cloud.zyqual.com→ Remove. - Firefox: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies → Manage Data → search
cloud.zyqual.com→ Remove. - Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → search
cloud.zyqual.com→ Remove.
Changes
We will update this page when we add or remove a cookie. Material changes are notified in-product.
