1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages, such as that you are signed in.
2. The cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
zenrch.sid |
Keeps you signed in to the client area and protects our forms against cross-site request forgery. Set only when you open a page with a form (sign-in, reservation or contact) or sign in; simply browsing the site sets no cookies. The admin site uses its own separate copy. | Strictly necessary | 7 days, renewed while you use the site |
zenrch_client |
Remembers that this browser belongs to a client, so our menu shows “Client Area” instead of “Get Started”. Contains no personal data. Set only after a member signs in. | Functional | 12 months |
zenrch_tz |
Stores your device’s time zone (for example “Europe/London”) so we can apply regional availability, including when a VPN is used. Contains nothing else and is not used for tracking. | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
zenrch_access |
Lets a client we have approved use the website from a region where it is otherwise unavailable. Set only when you open a personal access link we sent you. | Strictly necessary | 12 months, or until we revoke the link |
All of our cookies are first-party (set by zenrch.net only), and sent only over secure connections. All except zenrch_tz are HTTP-only, so scripts cannot read them; zenrch_tz is written by our own script because only your browser knows its time zone.
3. What we don’t use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No analytics or behaviour-tracking cookies.
- No social-media pixels or embedded trackers.
- No third-party fonts or scripts that set cookies — our fonts and code are served from our own domain.
Because we only use cookies that are necessary for the service you request, we do not show a cookie consent banner.
4. Third-party sites
Our website links to Discord and other sites. When you visit them, their own cookie and privacy policies apply. Figures such as our Discord member count are fetched by our server and do not place cookies on your device.
5. Managing cookies
You can view and delete cookies at any time in your browser settings, and block them if you wish. If you block zenrch.sid, you will not be able to sign in or submit forms. Deleting zenrch_client simply resets the menu to “Get Started”.
6. Changes to this policy
If we ever add a new cookie, we will update this page first, and ask for your consent where the law requires it.
