This Cookie Policy explains how ZipYell uses cookies and similar technologies on zipyell.com and its country sites. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. Some are needed for a site to work; others help measure use or show advertising.
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner lets you choose Accept all or Necessary only. Your choice applies to every ZipYell country site and is remembered for 180 days. You can change it at any time:
Until you accept, Google Analytics and advertising tags run in "consent mode": they do not set analytics or advertising cookies. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we do not enable personalised advertising.
