Cookie policy

Last revised: 2026-08-28

This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies we use on zendra.com, what each one does, and how to turn them off. It covers our marketing website. The Zendra app itself runs inside your Shopify admin, and how we handle data there is covered in our Privacy Policy.

What cookies and similar technologies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Some are set by us (first-party cookies) and some by other companies whose tools we use (third-party cookies). Session cookies disappear when you close your browser; persistent cookies stick around until they expire or you delete them.

A few related technologies do similar jobs. Pixels (also called web beacons or tracking pixels) are tiny images or snippets embedded in a page that tell a third party the page was loaded. Local storage keeps data in your browser without sending it back on every request. We list the ones we use below alongside the cookies, since from a privacy standpoint they work the same way.

The cookies we use

This list reflects what zendra.com set as of the revision date above. Durations are the providers’ documented defaults and can change when they update their products. We review this list periodically, but if you spot something here that doesn’t match what you see, please tell us.

Analytics

These help us understand which pages people find useful, where visitors come from, and what’s broken. We use them in aggregate, not to build a profile of you.

CookieSet byPurposeDuration
_gaGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes one visitor from another2 years
_ga_TN8M4NMZP2Google AnalyticsKeeps session state for our analytics property2 years
cb_session_idConversion BridgeIdentifies your visit so we can attribute it to a referral sourceSession

We also run Ahrefs Web Analytics and WordPress.com Stats, which measure page views without setting cookies on your browser.

Advertising

These let us measure whether our ads work, and let Google and Meta show you Zendra ads elsewhere. They’re the ones most people want to turn off, and the section below explains how.

CookieSet byPurposeDuration
_gcl_auGoogle AdsRecords ad clicks so conversions can be attributed90 days
_fbpMeta (Facebook) PixelIdentifies your browser for ad delivery and measurement90 days

The Meta Pixel and Google Ads conversion tags also send a request to Meta and Google when you load a page, which tells them you visited, even when no new cookie is written.

Support and chat

We use Intercom for the chat widget. These cookies keep your conversation with us continuous, so you don’t lose the thread between pages or visits.

CookieSet byPurposeDuration
intercom-id-cphpnclsIntercomAnonymous visitor identifier9 months
intercom-session-cphpnclsIntercomKeeps your chat session active1 week
intercom-device-id-cphpnclsIntercomIdentifies the device you’re chatting from9 months

Browser storage

These aren’t cookies, but they store data in your browser and are cleared the same way — through your browser’s “clear site data” controls.

KeySet byPurpose
lastExternalReferrer, lastExternalReferrerTimeConversion BridgeRemembers where you arrived from, for attribution
_gcl_lsGoogle AdsSupports conversion measurement
intercom.intercom-state-cphpnclsIntercomRemembers whether the chat widget is open and what’s in it

Standard WordPress and Gravity Forms cookies may also be set if you log in or submit a form on our site. Those are strictly necessary to make those features work.

Advertising, and what “sale” and “sharing” mean here

We don’t sell your personal information for money, and we never have.

We want to be clear about a nuance, because the plain-English meaning and the legal meaning of “sell” have drifted apart. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and several similar state laws, using advertising cookies like the Meta Pixel and Google Ads tags can count as a “sale” or as “sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising,” even though no money changes hands. On that definition, our use of those tools may qualify.

If you’d rather we didn’t, the controls in the next section will stop it. You can also send a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser, which we treat as a valid opt-out request where the law recognizes it. We won’t treat you differently for opting out.

How to control these technologies

In your browser. Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies and clear local storage. Blocking everything will break parts of most websites, including ours, but blocking third-party cookies specifically is usually painless.

Global Privacy Control. Some browsers and extensions can send a Global Privacy Control signal automatically on every site you visit. It’s the least effort for the most coverage, and we’d point you there first.

Directly with the providers.

Industry opt-out tools. The Digital Advertising Alliance (U.S.) and Your Online Choices (Europe) let you opt out of interest-based advertising from many companies at once. You’ll still see ads, just less relevant ones.

Opt-outs are usually stored in a cookie, which is a small irony worth naming: clearing your cookies can clear your opt-out along with everything else.

Do Not Track

Browsers once offered a “Do Not Track” setting, but the industry never agreed on what it should mean and most browsers have removed it. We don’t respond to it. Global Privacy Control, described above, is the signal that replaced it, and we honor that where the law recognizes it.

Changes to this policy

We’ll update this page when the tools we use change, and we’ll update the revision date at the top when we do.
