Cookie Policy

Last Updated: April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how eZfan uses them, and what choices you have regarding their use. When you use eZfan, we may place cookies or similar technologies on your device to help us operate the Service and understand how you use it.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device when you visit a website or use an app. They allow the site to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or actions over time.

Similar technologies include:

  • Local Storage: Data stored directly in your browser that persists between sessions;
  • Session Storage: Temporary data cleared when a tab is closed;
  • Pixels / Beacons: Tiny images embedded in pages or emails that notify us when content is viewed;
  • Device Fingerprinting: Identifiers derived from your device's technical characteristics.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions like logging in, setting your privacy preferences, or filling in forms. Examples include session tokens, CSRF protection tokens, and authentication cookies.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our platform by collecting aggregate, anonymized information. They allow us to identify which pages are most popular, detect errors, and measure the effectiveness of features. We use tools such as self-hosted analytics (privacy-first, no cross-site tracking).

Functionality Cookies

These allow the Service to remember choices you make — such as your preferred language, display theme, or notification settings — and provide a more personalized experience.

Security Cookies

Used to detect fraud, protect accounts from unauthorized access, and enforce rate limits. These cookies may store information about authentication state, device trust scores, and anomaly detection flags.

Marketing & Targeting Cookies

Where you have given consent, we or our partners may use these to track your activity across sessions for the purpose of delivering relevant platform promotions. You can opt out at any time via your cookie preferences.

3. Cookie Duration

  • Session cookies — Temporary. Expire when you close your browser;
  • Persistent cookies — Remain on your device for a set period (ranging from 1 day to 2 years, depending on the cookie) or until you delete them;
  • First-party cookies — Set by eZfan directly;
  • Third-party cookies — Set by our trusted partners (payment processors, video infrastructure) when you interact with their embedded services.

4. How We Use Cookie Data

We use information from cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep you logged in and maintain your session securely;
  • Remember your preferences and settings across visits;
  • Measure platform usage and improve features based on real-world behavior;
  • Detect and prevent fraud and security threats;
  • Comply with legal obligations.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options to control cookies:

  • Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings (e.g., Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Cookies; Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security);
  • In-app preferences: Where applicable, you can manage non-essential cookies from within your eZfan account settings;
  • Opt-out tools: For analytics, you may use browser extensions like uBlock Origin or similar privacy tools.

Please note: Disabling essential cookies will prevent the Service from functioning correctly. Some features — such as staying logged in or saving preferences — require cookies to work.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices evolve or as required by law. We will notify you of material changes via in-app notification or email. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
