What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to remember preferences, and to provide information to site operators about how the site is used.

Third-Party Cookies
Some features of Zula Path may involve third-party services that set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and they are governed by the respective third parties' privacy and cookie policies. Third parties whose services may set cookies include:
- Supabase: Database and authentication infrastructure.
- Vercel: Hosting and CDN delivery.
- Resend: Email delivery service (email open tracking, where applicable).
Where we use affiliate links to third-party services (such as English language test providers), those sites operate under their own cookie policies.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookie usage through the following methods:
- Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings menu. Blocking essential cookies will impair or prevent login and core platform functions.
- In-platform preferences: Where a cookie consent interface is available on Zula Path, you can manage non-essential cookie categories directly.
- Opt-out tools: For analytics cookies, you may be able to opt out using browser privacy extensions.
Please note that some browsers handle cookies differently on mobile and desktop. Changes made in one environment may not carry over.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Zula Path does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals from browsers. You can manage your preferences directly using the methods described in Section 5.
