1. What Are Cookies & Local Storage?
Cookies are small data text files saved on your web browser when visiting websites. Similar technologies include HTML5 Local Storage, session cookies, and mobile device storage mechanisms (such as Android SharedPreferences and SQLite databases).
These technologies allow our systems to recognize your device, maintain security sessions, protect against automated spam, and deliver a smooth user experience.
2. How ZoraGram Uses These Technologies
ZoraGram prioritizes user privacy. On our marketing website and web endpoints, we use cookies solely for functional and security purposes:
- Security & CSRF Tokens: Temporary cryptographic session tokens (e.g.
zg_csrf_token) prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks when submitting forms. - Rate Limiting: Timestamps are held in temporary server sessions to protect contact forms and deletion endpoints from spam abuse.
- Session Continuity: Ensuring that administrative users can securely navigate maintenance dashboards.
3. Types of Cookies We Utilize
We categorize our web cookies as follows:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for website navigation and secure form processing. Without these, contact, deletion, and appeal requests cannot be verified.
- Functional Cookies: Remember your interface preferences (such as light or dark mode preferences where supported).
- Zero Third-Party Advertising Cookies on Web: Our marketing website does not embed invasive third-party tracking pixels or behavioral data brokers.
4. Mobile App Storage & SharedPreferences
Inside the ZoraGram Android application (com.zoragram.friendship), equivalent mechanisms are used:
- Auth Tokens: Securely stored encrypted tokens keep you signed into your account so you don't need to re-enter your password on every launch.
- Multi-Account Storage: Cached profile references enable instant switching between personal and business profiles.
- Media Cache: Temporary disk caching of reel thumbnails and post graphics ensures smooth offline viewing and reduced cellular data consumption.
5. Managing Your Preferences
You can control or clear cookies at any time through your browser settings:
- Web Browsers: Adjust settings in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking necessary cookies will disable form submissions.
- Android App: Clear app cache anytime in your device settings under
Settings > Apps > ZoraGram > Storage > Clear Cache.
