Cookie Notice

1. The short version

xigzag uses a small number of first-party cookies. None are advertising cookies and none come from third-party trackers. Essential cookies keep you signed in and keep your bag; everything else waits for your choice.

2. Essential cookies

These make the service work and can't be switched off:

• xz_session / __Host-xz_session (essential): Keeps you signed in to the Studio. Lifetime: until you sign out, at most 30 days.
• xz_ws (essential): Remembers which workspace you are working in. Lifetime: 1 year.
• xz_member (essential): Keeps a shopper or member signed in to a site's account area. Lifetime: until sign out, at most 30 days.
• xz_staff / __Host-xz_staff (essential): Signs in our own support staff to the operator console. Lifetime: 1 day.
• xz_imp / __Host-xz_imp (essential): Marks a support session where our staff look at an account with the owner's consent. Every such session is logged. Lifetime: 1 hour.
• xz_cart (essential): Holds the shopping bag on a storefront. Lifetime: 30 days.
• xz_claim (essential): Proves that this browser built a guest preview, so only you can claim it into your account. Lifetime: 30 days.
• xz_pgpw (essential): Lets you back into a password-protected page after you entered its password. Lifetime: the browser session.
• xz_age (essential): Remembers that you confirmed your age on a site with an age check. Lifetime: 30 days.
• xz_consent (essential): Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask again. Lifetime: 1 year.

3. Preference cookies

• xz_geo (preference): Remembers that a site already offered you its regional version, so you're not redirected twice. Lifetime: 30 days.
• xz_lang / xz_ui_lang / xz_cur / xz_mkt (preference): Remembers your language, currency and market. Lifetime: 1 year.
• xz_ref / xz_aff (preference): Remembers the referral or affiliate link you arrived from, so the person who shared it is credited. Lifetime: 30 days.

4. Analytics cookies

• xz_sid / xz_vid / xz_attr / xz_mc (analytics): First-party visit counting and campaign attribution. Set only after you allow analytics; otherwise visits are counted with a daily-rotating anonymous hash and no cookie. Lifetime: 30 minutes to 1 year.

Where the law requires consent, these are only set after you allow them in the cookie banner.

5. Sites built on xigzag

Each business that builds a site with xigzag controls its own site. Its owner can turn on a consent banner and publish its own cookie policy; if they add third-party tools (for example a booking widget or a map), those tools may set their own cookies under that business's responsibility.

6. Your choices

You can change your choice at any time from the cookie banner link in a site's footer, or clear cookies in your browser. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out. Questions: privacy@xigzag.com. See also our Privacy Policy.
