This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how zimobe-sibeye.info uses them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context for how we handle personal information on this website.
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work correctly, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators about how visitors use their sites.
Cookies are not programs. They cannot carry viruses, install software, or execute code. They are simply data files that your browser stores and sends back to the originating website on subsequent visits.
Session cookies exist only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting directly. Third-party cookies are set by external services (such as analytics providers) that are loaded as part of the page.
This website uses the following cookies:
zsi_consent (first-party, persistent, 365 days). This cookie stores your cookie consent preferences. It records whether you have accepted or declined optional cookie categories. Without this cookie, the consent prompt would appear on every page visit. This cookie is strictly necessary for the consent management function to work.
_ga and _ga_* (third-party, persistent, up to 2 years). These cookies are set by Google Analytics. They assign a unique identifier to your browser session and collect aggregate data about how visitors navigate the site, including pages visited, time on site, and traffic source. This data is used to understand how readers use the site and which articles are most read. These cookies are set only if you accept analytics cookies in the cookie preferences menu.
_gid (third-party, persistent, 24 hours). Also set by Google Analytics. Distinguishes users and is used in conjunction with _ga. Set only with your consent to analytics cookies.
We organize cookies into two categories:
Strictly Necessary cookies are required for the website to function correctly. They include the consent preference cookie (zsi_consent) described above. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies, as the site cannot function without them. No personal information is collected through strictly necessary cookies on this site beyond what is needed to remember your consent choice.
Analytics cookies are optional. They help us understand how visitors interact with this website by collecting anonymized data about browsing behavior. Accepting analytics cookies enables Google Analytics tracking. Declining analytics cookies means Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*, _gid) will not be set, and no behavioral tracking data will be collected during your visit.
You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie preferences link in the bottom-left corner of any page on this site. Your updated preference will be saved and applied immediately.
In addition to using our cookie preferences tool, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. The process varies by browser:
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data
Please be aware that deleting or blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites. If you delete the zsi_consent cookie, the cookie consent prompt will appear again on your next visit.
For Google Analytics specifically, you may also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on prevents Google Analytics from collecting data in any browser where it is installed, regardless of your cookie settings on individual websites.
We may update this Cookie Policy if we change which cookies we use or how we use them. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If we add new cookie categories or materially change how existing cookies are used, we will reset cookie consent preferences so that you are prompted to review and re-confirm your choices.

Additional information about how personal data collected through cookies is handled is available in our Privacy Policy.
This website is operated from the United States and our cookie practices are designed to comply with applicable US privacy laws. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) classify certain data collected through cookies as personal information when it can be associated with a California resident. We honor California residents' rights to opt out of the collection of personal information through analytics cookies by providing clear opt-out controls in the cookie preferences tool.
No federal law in the United States currently requires cookie consent notices in the same way that the EU's ePrivacy Directive and GDPR do. However, we provide a cookie consent mechanism as a matter of transparency and respect for our visitors' preferences, in accordance with general US privacy principles and state-level requirements where applicable.
Illinois residents may have additional rights under the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). To the extent that cookies on this site collect information that qualifies as personal information under PIPA, our Privacy Policy and the rights described therein apply.
