Cookie Policy
Below is an original, detailed, user-friendly, and Google AdSense-compliant "Cookie Policy" for your flash gaming website, Zavu.net. It’s written in natural English to feel authentic and approachable, ensuring it meets AdSense requirements (e.g., transparency about cookies and ad-related data collection) while being easy for users to grasp. It avoids robotic phrasing to sound human-crafted.
Cookie Policy – Zavu.net
Last Updated: March 07, 2025
At Zavu.net, we’re all about delivering free flash games that you can enjoy right in your browser. To make that happen—and keep it fun and smooth—we use cookies and similar tools. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and what choices you have. We’ve kept it straightforward because we want you to feel comfortable while gaming with us. Let’s dive in!
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites save on your device (like your phone or computer) when you visit. They help sites remember things—like your preferences or what you clicked on—so your next visit is even better. Think of them as little helpers that keep Zavu.net running smoothly without asking for your name or personal details.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for a few key reasons, all tied to making your time on Zavu.net enjoyable:
- Essential Cookies: These are must-haves to keep the site working. They let you navigate pages, load games, and stay connected without hiccups. Without them, Zavu.net wouldn’t function properly.
- Performance Cookies: These track how you use the site—like which games you play or how long you stick around. This helps us figure out what’s working and what needs a tweak, so we can keep improving.
- Advertising Cookies: Since Zavu.net is free, we team up with ad partners (like Google AdSense) to show you ads. These cookies help them deliver ads that match your interests—like gaming gear or cool apps—based on anonymized data (e.g., your location or browsing habits). No personal info like your name or email is shared here.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our ad and analytics partners—like Google—may also drop their own cookies when you visit Zavu.net. They use these to:
- Measure how ads perform (e.g., if you clicked one).
- Show you personalized ads instead of random ones.
- Avoid showing you the same ad over and over.
These partners have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to check out. For example, if we use Google AdSense, you can learn more in Google’s Privacy Policy. Rest assured, we only work with trusted companies who keep your data secure.
4. What Data Do Cookies Collect?
Cookies on Zavu.net don’t grab anything super personal. Here’s what they might pick up:
- Your IP address (a number tied to your internet connection).
- Browser type (e.g., Chrome or Firefox) and device info.
- Pages you visit on our site and how you interact with them.
None of this tells us who you are—it’s all anonymized and used to make the site better or support our ads.
5. Your Cookie Choices
You’ve got control over cookies! Here’s what you can do:
- Accept Them: By using Zavu.net, you’re okay with our cookies. Most people keep them on for the best experience.
- Manage Them: Your browser lets you block or delete cookies anytime. Head to its settings (usually under “Privacy” or “Security”) for the how-to. Just know that turning off cookies might make games or ads act a little wonky.
- Opt Out of Ads: Want less personalized ads? Visit tools like Google’s Ad Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page to adjust what you see.
6. How Long Do Cookies Stick Around?
Some cookies vanish when you close your browser (session cookies), while others hang out longer (persistent cookies)—up to a year or so—to remember you next time. Our ad partners might set their own timelines, but you can clear them out whenever you want.
7. Keeping Things Secure
We take care to protect the data cookies collect with standard security measures—like encryption where needed. Still, no system is foolproof, so we’re always on guard to keep things safe.
8. Updates to This Policy
As Zavu.net grows or tech changes, we might tweak this Cookie Policy. If anything big shifts (like how we use cookies), we’ll let you know on the site. The “Last Updated” date at the top will clue you in on what’s new.
