Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies ZipperLubricant.com uses, which cookies are set by third parties we work with, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website's operators. Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixels, and tags — are sometimes used for the same purposes, and we use the word "cookies" to cover all of them in this policy.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to load and function. They do not identify you personally. Without them, features like page navigation and remembering your preferences during a visit would not work.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are read most, how long people spend on a guide, and where readers come from. This helps us decide which content to update or expand. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Advertising Cookies
We use advertising cookies, including cookies set by Google AdSense and its advertising partners, to display ads on this site. These cookies may be used to:
- Deliver ads based on the content of the page you are viewing (contextual advertising)
- Deliver ads based on your previous interactions with websites across the internet (personalised advertising), where permitted by law and your choices
- Measure whether an ad was shown, clicked, or led to a conversion
- Limit the number of times you see the same ad (frequency capping)
- Detect fraudulent clicks and invalid traffic
3. Specific Cookies and Services
| Service / Provider | Purpose | Category | More information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (Google LLC) | Measures how visitors use the site in aggregate — page views, session length, referrers. | Analytics | Google's policy |
| Google AdSense & DoubleClick (Google LLC) | Serves display advertising, measures ad performance, and, where permitted, personalises ads based on your interests. | Advertising | How Google uses advertising cookies |
| Third-party advertising partners (via Google AdSense) | Google may share ad space with approved third-party vendors. Those vendors may set their own cookies for measurement and personalisation. | Advertising | AdSense vendor information |
The specific cookie names and lifetimes set by Google and its partners change over time. Google maintains authoritative documentation of the cookies they set, linked above.
4. How to Control Cookies
Browser Settings
Every modern browser lets you see the cookies stored on your device, delete them, and refuse new ones. Refer to your browser's help section for instructions — the settings are typically under "Privacy," "Cookies," or "Site data." Blocking all cookies may cause parts of this or other websites to stop working correctly.
Opting Out of Personalised Advertising
You can control whether Google personalises the ads you see, across the sites that use Google advertising:
- Google Ads Settings: adssettings.google.com — turn personalised ads on or off for your Google account or browser.
- Digital Advertising Alliance (US): optout.aboutads.info — opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.
- Your Online Choices (EU/UK): youronlinechoices.com — opt out of interest-based advertising in Europe.
Opting Out of Google Analytics
Google provides an opt-out browser add-on that prevents your data from being used by Google Analytics on any site: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is no single industry standard for how sites should respond to this signal, our site does not currently change its behaviour based on it. You can still control tracking using the browser and opt-out tools described above.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies or the services we rely on changes. The "Last Updated" date at the top of the page indicates when the most recent revision was made. Material changes will be highlighted on the site for a reasonable period after they are published.
7. Contact
If you have questions about how cookies are used on this site, email [email protected]. More ways to reach us are listed on our Contact page.
