Cookie policy

One cookie, only after you sign in, and no third party ever hears from you.

Version 2 · last updated 13 Sept 2026

1 The short version

Rare for a cookie page: there is genuinely almost nothing to tell you.

  • 1.1 Browsing this site sets no cookies at all. Read the rules, the store and this page, and nothing is stored on your device.
  • 1.2 One cookie is set when you sign in, because that is the only way to keep you signed in from one page to the next.
  • 1.3 No analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, no social media embeds, no third-party fonts or scripts.
  • 1.4 Nothing on this site talks to another company while you read it. Not one request leaves our server.
  • 1.5 That is why the notice has a single "I agree" button and no "accept all" or "reject" choice — there is no optional tracking to switch on or off.

2 The one cookie, in full

What it is called, what is in it, and when it appears.

  • 2.1 Name: zap.sid, or __Host-zap.sid over HTTPS.
  • 2.2 When: the moment you sign in with Discord, or submit a form. Never before that.
  • 2.3 What is in it: a long random number and nothing else. Your name, your purchases and your coins live in our database, matched to that number.
  • 2.4 Flags: HttpOnly so no script on the page can read it, SameSite=Lax so another site cannot make your browser send it, and Secure so it only travels over HTTPS.
  • 2.5 How long: it expires after a day of not being used, and is deleted outright after 30 days, when you sign out, or when you use "sign out everywhere" on your security page.
  • 2.6 Purpose: keeping you signed in, and stopping cross-site request forgery. Both are what the law calls strictly necessary, which is why they need no consent.

3 The one thing stored outside a cookie

Your browser remembers that you pressed "I agree" on the notice at the bottom of the screen.

  • 3.1 A single value, zap.notice, is kept in your browser's local storage when you press "I agree" on the cookie notice.
  • 3.2 It exists so the notice does not reappear on every page. It is never sent to our server and we cannot read it.
  • 3.3 Clearing your browsing data removes it, and the notice simply shows once more.

4 What this site does not do

Worth stating plainly, because most sites in this corner of the internet do all of it.

  • 4.1 No Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom or any other analytics.
  • 4.2 No advertising, no retargeting, no conversion pixels from Meta, TikTok or anyone else.
  • 4.3 No fingerprinting, no session recording, no heatmaps.
  • 4.4 No fonts, icons or scripts loaded from a CDN — everything is served from this domain, so no other company ever learns you visited.
  • 4.5 We do not sell, rent or share data with anybody for marketing. There is nothing to sell.

5 When another company is involved

Only when you deliberately do something that needs them, and never while you are just reading.

  • 5.1 Signing in sends you to Discord, on purpose, because that is how signing in with Discord works. Discord's own privacy policy applies while you are on their page.
  • 5.2 Paying sends you to our payment provider's hosted checkout. They handle your card details; those never touch our server.
  • 5.3 Your Discord avatar is loaded from Discord's image servers once you are signed in, so your browser tells them it fetched a picture. Signed out, that never happens.
  • 5.4 Each of those is a page you chose to go to. None of them runs quietly in the background.

6 Your control

You can refuse the lot, with one consequence.

  • 6.1 Block cookies for this site in your browser settings and everything public still works — the rules, the controls, the store, this page.
  • 6.2 The only thing that will not work is signing in, because the cookie is what remembers that you did.
  • 6.3 Sign out on your account page to delete it immediately, or use "sign out everywhere" to end every session on every device.
  • 6.4 Ask us for a copy of everything we hold on you from your account security page, as a spreadsheet, any time.
  • 6.5 Questions, or you think something here is wrong? Open a ticket and a person will answer it.

Something not clear?

If a point here does not cover your situation, ask before you act. A question in Discord takes a minute; an appeal takes a lot longer.
