Cookie Notice

1. About this policy

This Cookie Notice explains how zadalau.com (“the Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. The Site is operated by Zada Lau, trading as Grumpy to Great (Hong Kong) and as a sole trader (Australia).

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site operators. Similar technologies (such as local storage) work in comparable ways. In this policy, we use “cookies” to refer to all of them.

3. Our approach to cookies

We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking on this Site. We do not build profiles of you or follow you around the internet.

The only cookies and similar technologies in use on zadalau.com fall into the categories below.

4. Cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, navigating the Site, or submitting forms. They do not store personally identifiable information beyond what is needed to operate the Site. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under most privacy laws.

Examples:

• Session and security tokens that keep the Site working correctly
• A cookie that remembers your cookie preferences, so we don't ask you repeatedly

Functional storage (newsletter signup)

When you subscribe to the newsletter, our email provider (Brevo) may set a cookie or use local storage to manage the signup process and prevent duplicate submissions. This is limited to the functioning of the signup form.

5. Third-party cookies

Because we do not run analytics or advertising, the Site itself sets very few third-party cookies. The main third party involved is:

• Brevo (our email provider) — may set limited functional cookies in connection with the newsletter signup form. Brevo's own cookie and privacy practices are described on Brevo's website.

This Site does not embed Calendly or any booking widget. (Bookings for meditation sessions and classes are handled on mettafi.com, which has its own cookie policy.)

6. Managing your cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

• See what cookies are stored and delete them individually
• Block third-party cookies
• Block all cookies from particular sites
• Block all cookies from being set
• Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that if you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Site may not function correctly.

Browser-specific instructions are available from your browser provider (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and others all publish guidance).

7. Consent

Where required by law (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR and ePrivacy rules), we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. Because we do not use analytics or advertising cookies, the consent burden on this Site is minimal.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows when it last changed.
