Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function, improve security, remember user choices, and, where permitted, analyse how visitors use the website.

We also use similar technologies, such as browser localStorage. LocalStorage is not technically a cookie, but it can store information on your device and is therefore disclosed in this Cookie Policy.

We use certain cookies and similar technologies because they are strictly necessary to provide the website, protect the security of the service, enable account access, process login requests, or remember your privacy choices.

Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, for example analytics cookies, we use them only with your prior consent. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through the Privacy Settings link available on our website: Open privacy settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

1. Strictly necessary cookies and storage — These are required for website security, login, account access, fraud prevention, form protection, and remembering your cookie choices. These technologies are not optional where they are necessary for the service you request.
2. Functional or preference storage — These help remember settings or maintain access to your account. Some of these technologies may be necessary for the logged-in service.
3. Analytics cookies — These help us understand how visitors use our website and improve our online services. We use analytics cookies only with your prior consent.
4. Security technologies from third-party providers — These help protect our forms and accounts from bots, spam, abuse and automated attacks.
5. Third-party asset providers — Some providers serve fonts, icons, scripts, or other static assets. These providers may receive technical connection data when your browser requests those assets.

When you first visit our website, you can manage your cookie choices through our cookie banner.

You can:

• accept non-essential cookies;
• reject non-essential cookies;
• change or withdraw your consent at any time through the Privacy Settings: Open privacy settings;
• delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Your browser settings usually allow you to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies and other site data. The exact steps depend on the browser you use.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies or browser storage may affect login, account access, payment security, form submission, or other core website functions.

These technologies are used to provide the website securely and to enable functions requested by you.

Authenticated sessions on Zunge.online are based on JWT bearer tokens stored in browser localStorage, not on a persistent .AspNetCore.Cookies session cookie.

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our online services. Google Analytics is loaded only after you give consent through the cookie banner.

The legal basis for analytics cookies is your consent.

Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Information on possible international transfers relating to Google Analytics is provided in section 11 below.

We use Cloudflare Turnstile on login, registration and contact forms to protect the website against bots, spam, abuse and automated attacks.

These cookies are used for security and fraud-prevention purposes.

Our website may load static assets from third-party providers. According to our current technical inventory, these providers typically do not set cookies through our website, but your browser may contact their servers to load fonts, icons, scripts or similar assets.

When your browser contacts these providers, technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page and time of access may be transmitted.

Embedded YouTube content

Our website may include embedded course-related videos or study materials from YouTube. YouTube is operated by Google. Embedded YouTube content may use cookies or similar technologies, or cause your browser to transmit technical data to Google, when the video player is loaded or activated.

Where embedded YouTube content is not strictly necessary for the website function requested by you, it will be loaded only after you have actively chosen to display the relevant embedded content. Once activated, Google may process your data under its own privacy and cookie information. Where technically possible, we may use YouTube privacy-enhanced mode.

TikTok, Instagram and Telegram are not treated as cookie providers for this website unless we embed their widgets, login tools, discussion tools, media players, posts, or similar technologies directly on the website. If we add such technologies, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, request consent before they are loaded.

Further information about hosting-related processing is provided in our Privacy Notice.

Our services may be used by minors as part of language learning. Where consent is required for non-essential cookies or similar technologies and we know that the user is below the applicable age of digital consent, consent must be given or authorised by a parent or guardian.
