Cookies Policy
Introduction
Zee Venture Limited and its affiliated entities (“Zee Venture Limited”, “we”, or “us”) appreciate your visit to our website or applications and your interest in our services. The protection of your personal data is of fundamental importance to us, and we are committed to ensuring that you can use our websites, applications, and services with confidence. We handle personal information responsibly and in full compliance with applicable data-protection laws and regulatory requirements.
This Cookies Policy explains how we use cookies, similar technologies, and device identifiers (collectively referred to as “cookies”) when you access or use our websites, applications, and services. This includes our advertising tools, platforms, technologies, and branded solutions, as well as websites, applications, or services that integrate or utilise our technologies.
For further information on how Zee Venture Limited processes personal data, including details regarding your rights and our data-protection practices, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies, similar technologies and device identifiers
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your electronic device when you visit a website or application or when you use our services. Similar technologies function by recognising users of our websites, applications, or services, enabling us to operate our platforms efficiently and to tailor content, functionality, and services in a manner that is relevant and appropriate.
Device identifiers may be randomly generated or derived from existing technical information, including IP addresses, browser type and version, operating system and related settings, device characteristics, and mobile or advertising identifiers. These may include, where applicable, Advertising ID or Vendor ID (Apple), Android ID or Google Play Advertising ID (Google), ISDN service numbers, wireless identifiers, publicly available telephone data, mobile network information, and software-related details.
In general, cookies, similar technologies, and device identifiers are used to enhance the usability, performance, and security of Zee Venture Limited’s websites, applications, and services, as well as those of certain third-party providers. They may be used to apply user preferences, support personalised environments (including customised content and advertising where permitted), and, where appropriate, associate users, devices, and accounts.
Some cookies are temporary and remain active only for the duration of a browsing session, while others are persistent and allow preferences or settings to be retained across multiple visits, platforms, or interactions.
What types of cookies do we use and what are their characteristics
To support the functionality, usability, security, and relevance of our websites and applications, Zee Venture Limited uses a range of cookies and similar technologies. These include both persistent cookies, which remain stored on your device for a defined period and are reactivated upon subsequent visits, and session cookies, which are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
Cookies used on our websites and applications serve different purposes and may be categorised as follows:
Strictly Necessary (Functional) Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the proper operation of our websites and applications. They enable core functionality, support secure data transmission, and allow basic preferences—such as language selection, regional settings, and cookie-consent choices—to be stored.
Because these cookies are indispensable to the operation of the site, they cannot be disabled through our cookie-preference tools and do not require user consent. While you may configure your browser to block or alert you to these cookies, doing so may result in certain features or sections of the website or application not functioning correctly.
Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising and targeting cookies are used to assess how users interact with our websites and applications and to support the delivery of relevant products, services, and communications. These cookies may collect information such as IP address, approximate geographical location, and browsing behaviour.
They allow us, and approved third-party providers acting on our behalf, to measure the effectiveness of marketing activities and, where applicable, to display relevant content or advertisements on external websites or applications. Social media platforms may also use such cookies to recognise user segments and present tailored offers.
You may opt out of advertising and targeting cookies at any time through your cookie-preference settings. Where these cookies are managed by third-party providers, Zee Venture Limited requires them, through contractual arrangements, to comply with applicable data-protection laws and to refrain from using collected information for their own independent purposes.
Analytical and Statistical Cookies
Analytical and statistical cookies help us understand how visitors use our websites and applications. They enable us to analyse traffic volumes, identify sources of visits, assess navigation patterns, and evaluate overall performance.
These cookies assist in determining which pages are most frequently accessed, whether technical issues occur, and how user experience may be improved. They may also support the integration of external services, such as embedded media or feedback tools.
Where possible, analytical cookies are configured to avoid the collection of directly identifiable personal data. Any information collected is used by Zee Venture Limited solely in aggregated and anonymised form. Third-party analytics providers are contractually required to comply with applicable data-protection laws and not to use the data for their own purposes.
Performance and Tracking Cookies
Performance and tracking cookies record information relating to the use of our websites or applications, including browsing behaviour, preferences, session activity, IP address, and approximate geographic location. These cookies allow us to monitor user interactions and optimise the performance, responsiveness, and personalisation of our digital services.
As with other cookie categories, performance and tracking cookies may be managed by third-party providers acting on our behalf. Such providers are bound by contractual obligations to comply with data-protection requirements and to refrain from using the data for independent or unrelated purposes.
Are cookies used by third parties and partners
Zee Venture Limited may integrate third-party plug-ins, tools, or components into its websites and applications in order to enhance functionality, improve user experience, and support the performance of our online advertising activities. These third-party technologies may use cookies or similar tracking mechanisms for such purposes.
Neither Zee Venture Limited nor the respective third-party providers have access to the data collected independently by the other party through these technologies. In addition, Zee Venture Limited may use cookies to display advertisements on third-party websites with which we maintain marketing or advertising relationships. In certain cases, these external partners provide us with anonymised and aggregated information regarding user interaction with our websites or online services, including approximate geographic data, browsing patterns, and information about websites on which our advertisements appear. This information is used solely to improve the relevance and effectiveness of our advertising activities.
Data collected for these purposes is typically obtained through cookies and transmitted to servers operated by third-party providers, such as Google Analytics (a service provided by Google Ireland Limited) or Siteimprove (Siteimprove A/S). Depending on the provider, these servers may be located outside Switzerland. The information collected is not directly linked to identifiable individuals and primarily consists of anonymised technical data, including truncated IP addresses or host names, referral URLs, access timestamps, browser type and version, device type and operating system, screen resolution, and other device-related information.
Each third-party provider acts as an independent data controller in respect of the personal data it processes. These providers determine the purposes and means of processing such data and are solely responsible for compliance with applicable data-protection laws. The processing of personal data by these providers is governed exclusively by their respective privacy policies, which also outline your rights and available options for managing your privacy. We also encourage users to review the terms and privacy notices applicable to any social media platforms linked to or integrated into our websites.
Zee Venture Limited uses analytics services provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (“Facebook”) to assess website usage and obtain insights aimed at improving our services. Our websites may integrate Facebook plug-ins that rely on cookies to collect information such as visitor numbers or demographic trends.
Zee Venture Limited processes only aggregated or anonymised data derived from these tools. Facebook alone is able to associate such information with an identifiable individual and is therefore solely responsible for the collection and processing of personal data in this context. The purposes and methods of data processing are governed by Facebook’s Data Protection Guidelines, which also describe your rights and available privacy controls. You may object to or opt out of such processing at any time in accordance with Facebook’s settings and policies.
Zee Venture Limited uses advertising and analytics services provided by Google LLC (“Google”) to analyse website usage and support the optimisation of our services and marketing activities. Cookies are used to measure visitor numbers and gather demographic or usage-related insights.
Zee Venture Limited receives only aggregated or anonymised results from these services. Google alone is capable of linking the collected data to an identifiable individual. Our use of Google advertising and analytics technologies is based on our legitimate interest in improving service delivery and targeting potential customers more effectively.
IP anonymisation is applied where available. Within Switzerland, the European Union, or the European Economic Area, IP addresses are truncated before processing. Only in exceptional circumstances is a full IP address transmitted to Google servers. You may opt out of Google’s data processing at any time using the tools and settings provided by Google.
Our websites may integrate technologies provided by Instagram Inc. (“Instagram”), including buttons linking to our Instagram profile and widgets displaying selected images or videos. When you visit a page containing such features, your browser establishes a direct connection with Instagram’s servers.
In this process, data is transmitted automatically to Instagram and embedded within the website. This may include your IP address, date and time of access, the URLs of pages visited, and information about your browser and operating system. This enables Instagram to recognise that you have visited our website, even if you do not actively interact with Instagram features or do not have an Instagram account.
The collection and processing of such data are governed exclusively by Instagram’s privacy policy. Zee Venture Limited has no influence over the scope or further use of the data processed by Instagram.
How can you change your cookie preferences
On Zee Venture Limited websites and applications, you may adjust your cookie preferences at any time to reflect your individual choices. You may subsequently withdraw your consent by deactivating certain cookies. Any data processed prior to the withdrawal of consent will remain lawful, while future processing based on that consent will cease. To update your preferences, please select the option labelled “Change cookie settings” where available.
Once saved, your preferences will generally apply to future visits to Zee Venture Limited websites and applications. However, due to technical limitations beyond our control, this may not always be guaranteed. For example, your preferences may no longer be recognised if you restart your browser, delete cookies, or access our websites or applications using a different browser or device. In certain jurisdictions, applicable legislation may require you to confirm your cookie preferences upon your first visit and, in some cases, again during subsequent visits.
You may also manage the use of cookies directly through your browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may choose to receive notifications before cookies are stored, block cookies entirely, or configure your browser to reject cookies by default. Additional guidance is typically available within your browser’s help or support section. Cookies that you do not wish to retain may also be deleted manually via your browser settings.
Please note that refusing, blocking, or disabling cookies may affect the functionality and availability of certain features of Zee Venture Limited websites and applications. In some cases, parts of the website or application may not function as intended.
Further information about cookies, including guidance on how to manage or delete them, is available from the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at https://ico.org.uk or at https://gdpr.eu/cookies.
