1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Leena Software Solutions ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website https://zerodataupload.com/ when you use our ZeroDataUpload privacy-first web utilities platform.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and use personal data.

2. 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 and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device's hard drive. They help us improve your experience and ensure our website functions properly.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• Traffic sources and user behavior patterns

3.3 Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)

These cookies are used to deliver personalized advertisements and measure advertising effectiveness.

Provider: Google AdSense
Purpose:

• Deliver targeted advertisements
• Measure ad performance and effectiveness
• Frequency capping to limit ad repetition
• Cross-site tracking for advertising purposes

Data Collected:

3.4 Similar Technologies: Browser Storage

Besides cookies, the site keeps a few values in your browser's local storage. Local storage stays on your device and is never sent to us or to anyone else:

• zdu-cookie-consent and zdu-cookie-consent-ts: your banner choice and when you made it (kept 365 days)
• theme: your light or dark theme
• zdu-search-index: a cached copy of the site search list, refreshed daily
• Per-tool settings and history under keys that start with the tool's name (for example dice-roller-theme)

Clearing your browser's site data for zerodataupload.com removes all of it.

5. Your Cookie Choices

5.1 Browser Settings

All browsers allow you to manage cookies:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

5.2 Cookie Consent Management

Which control decides the optional cookies depends on where you are:

• In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent message is the one prompt, and our own cookie banner does not appear. The message asks for your choice on how Google and its advertising partners use cookies and your data for ads, and it also carries the analytics choice: the analytics cookies (Google Analytics) are set only when you accept, in that message, the purposes they need (storing and accessing information on your device, measuring content performance, understanding audiences through statistics, and developing and improving services) for Google.
• Everywhere else, our cookie banner controls the analytics cookies. When you first visit our website, it lets you accept them ("Accept All") or reject them ("Reject Non-Essential"). Your choice is kept in your browser for 365 days. Our banner does not control advertising cookies: Google's ad code may set them whatever you choose in our banner (see section 3.3). Visitors in US states with privacy laws also see Google's message for those laws, which shows its own link for opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
• "Privacy and cookie settings" in the footer reopens whichever applies at any time: Google's message in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and our cookie banner everywhere else. "Cookie Settings" in the footer does the same.

5.3 Third-Party Opt-Outs

Google Analytics Opt-out:

• Browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/

Google AdSense Opt-out:

• Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
• Industry opt-out tools: Digital Advertising Alliance

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies

7. International Considerations

These laws require the following. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent message applies them to both the analytics and the advertising cookies (see section 5.2). Elsewhere our cookie banner applies them to analytics cookies only; advertising cookies are not yet covered there (see section 3.3).

7.1 GDPR (EU/UK)

• Consent required for non-essential cookies
• Right to withdraw consent at any time
• Clear information about cookie purposes
• Opt-in consent (not pre-ticked boxes)

7.2 CCPA (California)

• Right to opt-out of cookie-based data sharing
• No discrimination for opting out
• Clear disclosure of data sharing practices

7.3 DPDPA (India)

• Consent required for non-essential cookies
• Clear purpose specification
• Right to withdraw consent

8. Data Security

Cookie data is protected through:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
• Secure cookie flags where appropriate
• Regular security assessments
• Access controls and monitoring

10. Applicable Laws

This Cookie Policy describes our cookie practices with reference to the following laws. Sections 3.3, 5.2 and 7 explain where Google's consent message is the control and where our banner does not yet cover Google's advertising cookies:

• EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• ePrivacy Directive (Cookie Law)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA)
• Other applicable privacy and data protection laws

11. Consent Record Keeping

Your choice and the date you made it are stored only in your own browser (local storage), for 365 days, so the banner does not ask again. We keep no copy on any server: no record of your choice, the date or your IP address.

This Cookie Policy explains our cookie practices as they are today.
