1. What Are Cookies & Similar Technologies?
Gezirota ("we" or "Platform") uses cookies, browser local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage), and cookieless technical signals to enhance user experience, maintain security, and analyze site performance when you visit our website.
Cookie: A small text file saved to your device or browser when visiting a website. Cookies allow the website to remember your device and keep your consent preferences active.
2. Cookie Categories & Tools Used
Technologies used on our platform are classified into four main categories:
a) Essential Category (Always Active)
Strictly necessary for the core functionality of the website, information security, and saving your consent choice (gzOnay). Cookieless usage and error logging operate without writing any cookies to your device. This category cannot be disabled.
b) Analytics Cookies (Optional - Subject to Explicit Consent)
Helps us measure visitor traffic, popular travel routes, and usage statistics. Loaded only if you click "Accept All" or enable "Analytics" in the cookie panel:
- Google Analytics 4: Collects aggregate usage statistics. IP anonymization is active; ad signals are disabled.
c) Product Analytics (Optional - Subject to Separate Explicit Consent)
PostHog Cloud EU measures the planning funnel and return visits. It creates a persistent browser identifier and loads only with “Product analytics” consent. Data is hosted in Frankfurt/Germany (EU), and PostHog session replay is disabled.
d) Session Recording Cookies (Optional - Subject to Separate Consent)
Creates session playbacks and heatmaps from clicks, scrolling, and mouse movements to detect usability issues:
- Microsoft Clarity: Records screen interactions, form contents, and free text without masking. Only the optional email field in the “Report an error” form remains masked. Operates only upon separate explicit consent.
