Cookie Policy
Learn about the cookies ReelZox uses and how to manage your privacy settings.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve user experiences, and provide analytical data to website administrators.
2. How ReelZox Uses Cookies
We use cookies for a limited number of essential and analytical purposes:
- Essential Session Cookies: We set a secure session identifier cookie named `RZXSID`. This cookie is strictly necessary to maintain your security token validations (CSRF protection) as you browse between pages or submit URLs to download. It contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
- Preferences Tracking: When you accept our Cookie Consent Banner, we set a cookie named `rz_cookies_accepted` with a duration of 365 days. This saves your preference so you are not prompted with the banner on subsequent visits.
- Analytical Performance: We may utilize third-party analytics tools like Google Analytics to track anonymous visitor metrics (e.g. page views, browser types, referral paths). These tools set cookies to compile aggregate performance charts.
- Advertising Networks: As an AdSense-supported utility, third-party marketing vendors (such as Google) utilize cookies (like DART cookies) to serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing interests on our site and elsewhere on the web.
Core Cookies List
| Cookie Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| RZXSID | Essential | Session | Maintains user session security and validates CSRF form submissions. |
| rz_cookies_accepted | Preferences | 365 Days | Remembers your cookie consent banner preferences to prevent duplicate prompts. |
| __gads / _ga | Third-Party | Variable | Set by Google Analytics and AdSense to deliver anonymous metrics and customized ads. |
3. How to Manage Cookies
You have the absolute right to accept, limit, or decline cookies at any time.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can easily modify your browser settings to reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is set. Please check your browser's Help menu for specific instructions (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox).
Please note that disabling cookies completely may impact the Service's operations. Specifically, without session cookies (`RZXSID`), our secure form validation engine will be unable to process video conversion and downloads.
