Cookie Policy

Version of September 21, 2026

Short version: today this review stores two small pieces of information in your browser, both needed to make the site behave, and nothing else. There are no third-party cookies. The rest of this page explains the categories in the cookie banner and how to change your mind.

If you only came here to switch something off, the footer button described under "Changing your choice" takes a few seconds. If you are curious how it all works, read on; nothing below requires technical knowledge.

Cookies and browser storage

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a site asks your browser to keep. Every time your browser asks that site for another page, it sends the cookie back, which is how a site can recognise a returning visitor. Cookies set by the site you are reading are called first-party cookies; those set by other companies whose scripts run on the page are third-party cookies, and they are the ones usually used to follow people across the web.

Local storage and session storage

Local storage and session storage do a similar job without travelling to the server with every request. The browser keeps the value, and only scripts on the same site can read it. Local storage lasts until it is cleared; session storage is wiped when the tab closes.

We treat all three the same way: anything we store on your device falls under this policy and under the choice you make in the banner.

The three categories

The banner groups storage by purpose, so you decide once per purpose rather than once per item.

Essential

Security and your settings. These are always on, because without them the site cannot remember what you already told it. They contain no identifier that follows you from site to site. Refusing them would mean the banner reappearing on every page, which helps nobody.

Statistics

This category would cover measuring which sections people read and how fast pages load, so we can fix slow or confusing parts of the review. It stays off unless you switch it on. Counting visits in this sense means totals per page, such as how many readers reached the payments section, not a record of what one named person did.

Marketing

This category would cover recording whether a link from a partner brought you here. It also stays off unless you switch it on. Leaving it off has no effect on the offer you see at Zoccer, since the operator attributes a visit through the /tunnel/ link, not through anything stored on our pages.

Why the switches exist when nothing is installed

No statistics or marketing tool is installed on this site at the moment, so turning these categories on changes nothing yet. We keep the switches so that your answer is already on record if that ever changes. If we add a tool, we will name it here, with its provider and what it stores, before it runs, and it will load only for visitors who have agreed.

What we store today

• zc_consent in local storage: your answer to the banner, as a short record of which optional categories are on or off. It stays until you clear your site data, so the banner does not reappear on every visit.
• zc_l in session storage: the language version you chose. It disappears when you close the tab.

That is the complete list. There is no hidden third key, no advertising identifier and no fingerprinting script that tries to recognise your device from its settings.

Why browser storage instead of cookies

We chose browser storage over classic cookies on purpose. A cookie rides along with every request to the server; these two keys never leave your device, and our pages read them only to decide whether to show the banner and which language to open. Neither key is sent to us or to anyone else, and neither contains your name, email or IP address.

No third parties on our pages

Fonts are served from our own server, and the site loads no ads, social buttons, maps or embedded videos, so no other company can set a cookie through our pages. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, look at the storage panel for this site, and you will find the two keys above and nothing else.

What happens on your first visit

1. The page loads with only the essential storage available; nothing optional runs yet.
2. The site checks for a saved zc_consent record. If one exists, the banner stays hidden and your earlier answer applies.
3. If there is no record and your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, the refusal is saved for you and the banner is skipped.
4. Otherwise the banner appears. You can read the whole review while it is open; answering simply saves your choice so it does not come back.

Picking a language works alongside this. It writes zc_l for the current tab and has no effect on your consent record.

Cookies and Canadian privacy law

Under PIPEDA, storing information on a visitor's device is part of handling personal information whenever it can be tied to a person, and the consent a site asks for has to be meaningful: people should understand what they agree to before they agree. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has published guidance on online tracking that stresses clear explanations, no tracking of children and an easy way to say no at any time.

Our setup follows that reading. The optional categories start switched off, the banner explains each one in a sentence, and withdrawing takes the same two clicks as agreeing. The two essential keys identify no one, which is why they do not need a switch of their own.

Changing your choice

1. Scroll to the footer of any page and press the "Cookie settings" button.
2. The banner opens with your current choice shown on each switch.
3. Turn Statistics or Marketing on or off, then press Save. "Reject all" and "Accept all" set both at once.

A new choice takes effect straight away and replaces the old record in zc_consent. You can change it as often as you like; there is no waiting period and nothing to confirm by email.

Clearing everything in your browser

You can also delete everything we stored by clearing site data for this site in your browser settings. The banner will then ask again on your next visit. The wording differs a little between browsers, but the route is similar:

• Chrome and Edge: open Settings, go to the privacy section and look for site data or cookies, then search for this site and remove it.
• Firefox: open Settings, choose Privacy and Security, and under Cookies and Site Data use the option to manage data for individual sites.
• Safari on Mac, iPhone or iPad: find Privacy and the website data list, then remove the entry for this site.
• On Android, the browser's own settings menu holds the same option under site settings or storage.

Clearing data for all sites at once works too, though it will also log you out of other websites you use.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal or has Do Not Track switched on, we treat that as a refusal. The site saves Statistics and Marketing as off and does not show the banner. You can still open "Cookie settings" and change it yourself if you want to.

Global Privacy Control is built into some privacy-focused browsers and can be added to others through an extension. Do Not Track is an older setting found in most browsers' privacy menus. Many sites ignore both. We read them because a setting you took the trouble to switch on deserves to be respected without an extra click.

Several devices and private windows

Your choice lives in one browser on one device. Since we have no accounts, there is no way for us to carry it over, so the banner will ask again when you open the review on your phone after answering on a laptop, or in a different browser on the same machine.

Private or incognito windows behave the same way, only more strictly: local storage there is usually wiped when the private session ends, so the banner may appear each time you start a new one. That is your browser protecting you, not a fault in the site.

Zoccer's own cookies

When you follow a link to Zoccer, you leave this site. Zoccer and Casolinia Group set their own cookies for login, security, payments and marketing, and those are governed by the brand's cookie and privacy policies, not by this one. The affiliate link may tell the operator that you arrived from this review; that happens on their side, under their terms.

Managing cookies on the casino side

If the brand's site shows its own cookie banner, the choice you make there is separate from the one you made here, and changing one does not change the other. The clearing steps above work for any site, so you can remove the operator's stored data the same way if you wish. Some of its cookies are needed to keep you logged in and to secure payments, so refusing everything there may mean logging in more often.

Questions readers ask about the banner

Does refusing change anything I can read?

No. Every page, table and guide in the review is available whatever you choose, and the buttons to Zoccer work the same way. Refusing only keeps the optional categories off, and today they are empty anyway.

Why did the banner come back?

Usually because site data was cleared, either by you, by a cleaning app or by the browser at the end of a private session. It can also happen after switching browser or device. Answer it once more and the new record takes over.

Can the stored keys be used to identify me?

They hold a record of switch positions and a language code. Neither contains a random identifier, and since they never reach our server, we could not match them to a visit even if we wanted to.

Changes to this policy

We revise this page whenever the storage used by the site changes, and the version date at the top shows the current text. Adding any new key, or any tool in the Statistics or Marketing category, will appear here first, with a plain description of what it stores and for how long.

A choice you saved under an earlier version stays valid for everything it covered. If a future tool falls into a category you already switched on, you will still find it described here before it starts, and you can switch that category off again from the footer in a moment. Removing a tool is announced the same way, so the list on this page always matches what your browser actually holds.

Questions

For anything about cookies or storage, please write to us by email. A question about what you see in your browser's storage panel is welcome too; tell us which browser you use and we will explain what each entry means. The wider picture of what we handle and your rights under Canadian privacy law is in our Privacy Policy.
