Cookie Policy
Comprehensive details on how ZERONE LANKA uses cookies and browser storage technologies, and how you can manage your preferences anytime.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device by a website. In addition to HTTP cookies, websites may use modern browser storage technologies (such as localStorage or sessionStorage) to remember information across page views. Throughout this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify cookies and local storage items into four distinct categories:
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential)
Essential for the Website to function securely and reliably. They support core navigation, DDoS mitigation, network routing, and recording your cookie consent preferences. Under applicable laws (including EU ePrivacy Directive and UK PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent because the Website cannot operate properly without them.
B. Functional & Preferences
Allow the Website to remember choices you make, such as saving your project brief consultation draft in your browser so you do not lose your progress if you refresh or revisit the page.
C. Analytics & Performance
Help us understand how visitors engage with the site, aggregate page views, assess loading speeds, and detect broken links. Analytics cookies are completely optional and are disabled by default until you grant explicit consent.
D. Marketing & Cross-Site Tracking
Used only if campaigns or third-party embeds are deployed. We do not use third-party cross-site tracking cookies by default.

4. Consent Mechanism & User Controls
In compliance with GDPR and global privacy standards, our Website:
- Presents equal prominence for Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, and Customize options;
- Keeps all optional categories toggled OFF by default;
- Does not treat page scrolling, inactivity, or continuous browsing as implied consent;
- Provides a persistent link in the footer on every page so you can modify or withdraw your consent at any time.
5. Browser-Level Controls
In addition to our on-site preference centre, all modern web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings, inspect stored cookies, or delete cookies altogether. To learn how to configure your browser, consult your browser's help documentation (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
