Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. It allows the site to remember information about your visit, such as your preferred language or your login session. The term "cookie" here also covers similar technologies: browser local storage (localStorage), session tokens and technical identifiers.

Zlobby is a social and dating platform operated by Emeric Mathis EI (Cavaillon, France). This policy applies to the website www.zlobby.com and to the application accessible from that domain, anywhere in the world.

2. Legal framework and consent

Placing cookies that are not strictly necessary requires your prior consent, in line with the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, EU Regulation 2016/679). Essential cookies rely on the legitimate interest of delivering a service you requested and do not require consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Depending on your region, other frameworks may apply: the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) for California residents, or the equivalent laws of your country. The mandatory law of your country of residence remains applicable and prevails where it offers stronger protection.

3. Types of cookies used

🔒 Essential cookies (required)

These cookies are necessary for the site to function (authentication, security, load balancing) and cannot be disabled. Without them, login, messaging, lobbies, purchases and browsing are impossible.

🎯 Preference cookies (essential to comfort)

These cookies remember your display choices to give you a consistent experience: interface language and visual theme. They are not used to track you.

📊 Audience measurement cookies (optional)

Where applicable, and only with your consent, audience measurement cookies help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. These cookies are not placed until you have accepted them.

4. Third-party services and related processing

Zlobby relies on providers (processors) that may place technical cookies or receive certain data to deliver the service. Transfers outside the European Union are governed by standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or equivalent safeguards.

• Supabase Inc. (Singapore): database, authentication and file storage; sets the session cookies.
• Vercel Inc. (United States): application hosting and delivery; technical performance and security cookies.
• Stripe Payments Europe Ltd (Ireland): payment processing (Pro and Legend subscriptions, credit packs). Stripe may set anti-fraud security cookies during a payment. Zlobby never stores your card data.
• Anthropic PBC (United States): automated moderation of content and photos via the Claude AI. This service uses no cookies but receives the submitted content for analysis (see our privacy policy).
• Google Ireland Ltd (Ireland): audience measurement (Google Analytics), set only after your consent; writes the _ga and _gid cookies.
• Cloudflare Inc. (United States): bot protection on the sign-up and sign-in forms (Turnstile); sets technical security cookies that are necessary for the service.
• Resend Inc. (United States): sending of transactional emails.
• Federated login providers (Google, Apple, Discord, GitHub): if you choose to sign in via one of them, they may set their own cookies at authentication time.

These third parties have their own cookie and privacy policies, which we invite you to consult.

5. AI moderation and service features

Zlobby offers two distinct worlds: a Social network and a Dating mode enabled only by your explicit choice (opt-in). A profile photo is required at sign-up and is subject to automated AI moderation. All content (posts, comments, messages, photos, bios) may be analysed by the moderation AI to protect the community. These processing activities do not rely on cookies but are detailed in our privacy policy and our terms of use.

6. Managing cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time:

• Via our cookie banner: accessible at any time via the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of the page
• Via your browser settings: you can configure your browser to refuse cookies or be alerted when a cookie is sent

Browser configuration:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• Edge

7. Consequences of refusing cookies

If you choose to refuse certain cookies:

• Essential cookies: the site will not function correctly (login impossible)
• Preference cookies: your language and theme will not be remembered between visits
• Audience measurement cookies: we will not be able to measure site usage to improve it

8. Your rights

In accordance with the GDPR and applicable laws, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability over your data. For any question relating to cookies or your data, contact us at contact@zlobby.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of your country. In France, this is the CNIL.

9. Updates to this policy

We may update this cookie policy at any time. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. We encourage you to check this page regularly.

External creator players

Zlobby does not load an external iframe, tracking pixel or browser request to a creator platform before you explicitly click to load that player. After the click, the selected provider may process technical data or set cookies under its own policy.

Players never autoplay. Your loading choice applies only to the selected card for the current visit.
