Cookie notice
What this site keeps in your browser, and what the delivery network in front of it adds by itself.
Effective from 2 September 2026 · published by Oliver Hayes, Coolaroo VIC, Australia
1. The short answer
ZoneAngle sets no cookies of its own, and the publisher installs no analytics package, no tag manager and no social widget on these pages.
One measurement script does load, and it is not the publisher’s: Cloudflare, the delivery network in front of this site, inserts its own Cloudflare Web Analytics script into each page as it is served. It sets no cookie, keeps nothing in your browser and does not identify you; section 4 sets out what it reads.
Storage here comes down to one local entry, plus the security cookies Cloudflare may set against automated traffic.
2. What is actually stored
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| za.notice.v1 | Local storage entry, strictly functional | Remembers whether you pressed Accept or Decline, so the notice is not shown again on every page. | Until you clear site data for this site. | First party — this site |
| __cf_bm | Cookie, security | May be set by Cloudflare to tell an ordinary browser apart from automated traffic. It carries no identifier for you. | About 30 minutes. | Third party — Cloudflare, Inc. |
| cf_clearance | Cookie, security | May be set after a Cloudflare security challenge, so a reader who has passed it is not challenged again. | Up to one year, and only if a challenge was shown. | Third party — Cloudflare, Inc. |
That is the complete list of storage. The Cloudflare script has no row because it writes nothing to your browser — it only sends measurements as the page loads.
3. About the local entry
The entry named za.notice.v1 is written only when you press a button in the storage notice, and its value is a single word recording your choice. It never travels to a server.
Pressing Decline stores the word declined and closes the notice; nothing behaves differently afterwards. Neither button switches the Cloudflare script on or off, because that script is added by the delivery network and cannot be controlled from this page.
4. About Cloudflare
These pages are delivered through Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States, which caches the files close to you, filters abusive traffic and measures how the pages load. Its script reads the page address, the referring address, load timings (Core Web Vitals), the browser and device type and the country derived from the network address — without a cookie and without an identifier for you. It is the only outside request these pages make.
Because Cloudflare is in the United States, that handling is a cross-border disclosure under APP 8, explained in the privacy policy. The publisher receives aggregate figures only, never a visitor-level report. Cloudflare’s privacy documentation is published at www.cloudflare.com.
5. Controlling storage yourself
Every current browser lets you inspect and delete cookies and local storage for a single site, under privacy or site settings. Clearing site data for zoneangle.com removes the local entry above.
Because this site sets no cookie of its own, there is nothing further to opt out of, and the Cloudflare measurement holds no profile to erase.
