In short
- Necessary cookies keep you signed in, protect staff sign-in, remember your basket and your consent choice.
- Analytics and attribution are off until you choose Allow analytics.
- Change your choice any time with Cookie settings in the footer.
2Your choice
On your first visit a banner asks you to choose:
- Necessary only: only the items the store needs to work are used.
- Allow analytics: we also use the analytics and attribution items listed below.
Nothing optional is set, and no analytics session is created or event sent, until you choose Allow analytics. Your choice is saved in the zyon_consent cookie for one year. You can change it at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer or the button below. Switching to Necessary only stops further analytics and removes the analytics session id from your browser.
