Necessary storage, plainly described.
The pilot currently uses authentication and security technology—not advertising trackers. This page explains the line and when a consent control would become necessary.
1. What this notice covers
“Cookies” is convenient shorthand. UK rules can also apply to local storage, pixels, scripts, device identifiers and other technology that stores information on, or accesses information from, a phone or computer.
This notice covers the Zeronda site. Third-party pages opened in a new tab, including provider dashboards or documentation, apply their own storage practices.
2. What the pilot uses now
| Purpose | Technology/provider | Why it is used | Consent position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication and session | Clerk cookies and related browser storage | Sign users in, maintain the requested session and protect private workspace routes. | Treated as strictly necessary only to the extent it is essential for the sign-in service the user requests. |
| Security and integrity | Application and provider security signals | Prevent misuse, validate requests and protect accounts. | May be strictly necessary when limited to security and fraud-prevention purposes. |
| User-entered form state | In-page application memory | Keep the current step or values while the page is open. | No persistent tracking purpose; the current build should not repurpose it. |
Cookie names and durations can vary with Clerk configuration and browser behaviour. The operator must export and verify the actual cookie/storage inventory from the deployed pilot rather than publishing guessed identifiers or lifetimes.
3. What is not currently used
The application code does not currently add advertising cookies, behavioural profiling, social-media pixels or a separate product-analytics service. Because the intended current storage is limited to essential authentication and security, Zeronda does not display a decorative “accept all” banner.
If any non-essential technology is introduced, it must be blocked until the user receives clear information and makes a valid choice where PECR requires consent. Continuing to browse is not valid consent, and rejecting non-essential storage must not prevent ordinary access.
4. Your controls
You can use browser controls to inspect, block or delete cookies and site data. Blocking essential authentication storage may prevent sign-in or end an existing session. Zeronda should not make a non-essential feature masquerade as “necessary” merely because it is useful to the operator.
There is no non-essential preference centre today because no optional category has been intentionally enabled. If that changes, the site should provide equally accessible accept and reject controls and remember the choice for a proportionate period.
5. Audit and changes
The deployed site should be re-audited after changes to Clerk, hosting, embeds, analytics, error monitoring or marketing tools. This notice must be updated with accurate providers, purposes and durations, and any required consent must be obtained before—not after—non-essential storage begins.
Run a browser-level storage audit in the actual deployed environment, record cookie owners/purposes/durations, confirm Clerk settings, and implement consent controls before enabling optional analytics, advertising or cross-service tracking.
