Cookie Policy

Hey, player! Welcome to the Cookie Policy of Zefor.net, where we’re not talking about the delicious kind you dunk in milk (though we wish we were). Nope, these are the digital cookies—the tiny bits of code that stick around while you’re blasting through our free, original flash games. We know “policy” sounds like something you’d skip in a game tutorial, but hang with us! We’ll keep it fun, clear, and packed with enough charm to make you forget it’s about techy stuff. Let’s dive in like it’s level one of a boss battle!

What Are Cookies, Anyway?

Cookies are like little save points for your browser. They’re small text files that websites—like ours—drop onto your device to remember things. Not your secret gaming strategies or that time you rage-quit “Pixel Pirate Dash,” but stuff like how you use Zefor.net and what keeps you coming back. Think of them as the friendly NPCs (non-player characters) of the internet: they’re here to help, not to haunt you.

Why We Use Cookies (No, Not for Baking)

At Zefor.net, we’re all about delivering awesome flash games without making you jump through hoops—or pay a dime. Cookies are our behind-the-scenes heroes that help us do that. Here’s what they’re up to:

• Game On, Smoothly: Cookies keep the site running like a well-oiled arcade machine. They remember your settings so you don’t have to start from scratch every time you visit.
• Stats for the Win: We use cookies to track what’s hot and what’s not. Are players loving “Super Blob Jump” or dropping it faster than a laggy controller? This helps us tweak games and dream up new ones.
• Ads That Don’t Suck: Our pals at Google AdSense use cookies to show you ads that might actually interest you—like a shiny new mouse instead of a random lawnmower. It’s how we keep Zefor.net free, so you can keep playing without pulling out your wallet.
• No Creepy Vibes: We’re not spying on your snack preferences or your secret dance moves. The data’s anonymous—think of it as a high score list with no names attached.

Types of Cookies We Drop

Not all cookies are created equal, and we’ve got a few flavors in our jar:

• Essential Cookies: These are the MVPs. They make sure Zefor.net works—like loading the game before you mash the “start” button. No opting out here; they’re as crucial as oxygen to a speedrun.
• Performance Cookies: These little guys count how many players visit, how long they stay, and where they bounce. It’s like our game analytics dashboard, but without the boss music.
• Functional Cookies: They remember if you turned off the sound effects or picked a goofy username (if we ever add that feature—stay tuned!). Basically, they make your next visit feel like picking up where you left off.
• Third-Party Cookies: Google AdSense and our analytics buddies drop these to do their ad-serving and number-crunching magic. They’re not under our control, but they play by their own rules (check Google’s policies for the juicy details).

How Long Do They Hang Around?

Cookies aren’t immortal—like a game character with a health bar, they’ve got an expiration date. Some vanish when you close your browser (session cookies), while others stick around longer (persistent cookies) to keep things consistent. Most of ours expire faster than your patience in a loading screen—anywhere from a day to a year, depending on their job.

Your Cookie Controls (You’re the Player One)

We’re not here to force-feed you cookies like an overzealous grandma. You’ve got the power:

• Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies faster than you can say “respawn.” Check your settings—Chrome, Firefox, Safari, they’ve all got a “cookie jar” you can empty. Just know that saying “no” to essential cookies might make Zefor.net glitchier than a buggy beta.
• Opt-Out of Ads: Google’s got a fancy opt-out tool at adssettings.google.com if you’d rather not have ads tailored to your gaming habits. Your call!
• Incognito Mode: Play in stealth mode, and most cookies won’t even know you were here. Sneaky, huh?

Third Parties (The Co-Op Players)

We don’t hog all the cookies ourselves. Google AdSense and analytics tools (like Google Analytics) sneak some into the mix too. They use them to figure out what ads to show or how many people beat level three. We don’t control their cookie antics—head to Google’s Privacy Policy for the full scoop. Other third-party plugins might join the party too, but they’ve got their own rulebooks.

Keeping Cookies Safe

We guard these digital crumbs like treasure in a dungeon crawler. Our security’s tight—encryption, firewalls, the works—to keep hackers from snagging them. But let’s be real: the internet’s a wild frontier, and no one’s invincible. If something goes wrong (like a data breach boss fight), we’ll shout it from the rooftops—or at least email you ASAP.

Updates to This Policy

If we tweak this Cookie Policy—say, to add more puns or keep up with new internet laws—we’ll slap a fresh date at the top and give you a heads-up. No sneaky patch notes here; we’ll keep it transparent, like a glass-walled game map.
