Cookie Policy
The essential cookies and local storage Zephy uses to keep the service working.
Last updated 22 June 20261. About this policy
This policy explains how Zephy, operated by Sohail Gsais in the United Kingdom, uses cookies and similar browser storage. Contact support@sohailgsais.com with questions.
Zephy currently uses essential and preference storage only. It does not currently use advertising cookies or optional analytics cookies.
2. What cookies and local storage are
Cookies are small text values stored by your browser and returned to a website with later requests. Local storage keeps a preference in your browser without sending it with each request. These technologies can keep you signed in, preserve a preference, or protect a short-lived authorisation flow.
3. Storage Zephy uses
| Purpose | What it does | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication and session | Secure cookies created by Zephy’s authentication system keep you signed in and protect account requests. | For the session or until the configured expiry or sign-out. |
| Theme preference | zephy-theme and matching local storage remember whether you selected light
or dark mode. | Up to one year, unless cleared sooner. |
| Gmail connection security | zephy_gmail_state and zephy_gmail_pkce protect and complete the
OAuth connection you initiate. | Up to 10 minutes and removed after callback. |
| Registration protection | Cloudflare Turnstile may use necessary browser signals or storage to distinguish legitimate registration attempts from abuse when enabled. | As determined by Cloudflare for the security check. |
4. Consent and control
The storage listed above is used because it is necessary to provide a feature you request, protect the service, or remember your selected appearance. Zephy therefore does not show an optional-cookie consent banner at present.
You can delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in, Gmail connection, or other account functions from working.
If Zephy later introduces optional analytics, advertising, or similar non-essential storage, this policy will be updated and an appropriate consent choice will be presented before those technologies are used.
5. Updates
This policy may change as Zephy’s technology changes. The updated date above shows the latest version. Material changes to optional tracking practices will be brought to your attention.
