In Short: Cookie usage has been categorized. Non-essential cookie categories might be disabled by end users while essential categories, such as authentication related cookies, provide core service functions, and therefore must be enabled to ensure the proper operation of services.
Amongst technologies created and used at zast.ai, some of them rely on third-party services and APIs with cookie requirements. Any cookie that is not strictly required for the operation of our site, including any targeting advertising service, can be disabled via the Cookie Consent process. We also honor Global Privacy Control / Do Not Track signals that may be configured in your browser.
We categorize the third-party services that zast.ai relies on into three broad categories.
Strictly necessary (always active)
Strictly necessary services are essential for the operation of zast.ai’s Cloud Platform, and as such, they cannot be turned off. Examples include tracking security critical information (such as tracking a user’s authenticated session) or storing state in response to actions a user takes (e.g., setting privacy preferences or filling out forms). While you can configure your browser to block or notify you about these cookies, certain parts of the site may not function properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are not shared with third parties.
Functional services enhance website functionality and personalization. They may be set by zast.ai or third-party providers whose services are incorporated into zast.ai’s Cloud Platform. Disabling these cookies may result in certain services not functioning correctly.
Performance services enable zast.ai to count visits and analyze traffic sources to measure and enhance the website's performance. They provide insights into the most and least popular pages and how visitors navigate the site. Targeting services help build profiles of our users and give us insights into the potential purchasers of our product. These services rely on identifying your browser and internet device uniquely.
Our site integrates various social media services and are used to let users share zast.ai content and information more broadly. They can track your browser across other sites and can be used by the social media services to create an interest profile. This may influence the content and ads you encounter on other websites. Blocking social media cookies will disable content sharing integrations.
You have the option to block cookies by adjusting your browser settings or using third-party tools such as uBlock Origin to refuse all cookies or specific ones. Please note that if you choose to block all cookies, including essential cookies, it may restrict your access to certain sections or features of zast.ai’s website.

In Short: Yes, if you're in the EEA or UK, you have additional rights under GDPR, including data access, rectification, erasure, and portability. We comply with GDPR requirements and provide mechanisms for you to exercise these rights.
If you are an individual in the European Economic Area or the UK, our legal basis for collecting and using your information will depend on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
However, we will normally collect information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Where we collect and use your information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), it will normally be obvious from the context what those legitimate interests are. For example, in relation to personal data processed in connection with our provision of services and/or research activities, it is in the legitimate interests of us and our customers to detect, remediate and protect against a broad variety of cyber threats.
If we are processing information about you on behalf of a customer in the course of providing our services and solutions to them (i.e., as a data processor), then it is our customer's responsibility to determine the legal basis for the processing we conduct on their behalf. If you ask us about information we are processing on behalf of a customer, we will direct you to speak with the relevant customer.
In addition to your rights to access, correct, update, and delete your information described above, and your right to opt-out of communications also explained above, you also have the right to object to processing of your information, ask us to restrict processing of your information or to request portability of your information.
If we have collected and process your information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
If you are unhappy with the way we have processed your information, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
