Data Usage Policy
Last updated: March 2025
We use tracking technologies on zylontext.com to make your experience better. This page explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them. We're being upfront about this because we believe you should know what happens when you visit our site.
You can change your preferences below
What Are Tracking Technologies?
Tracking technologies are small pieces of data stored on your device when you browse websites. Most people call them "cookies" but that's just one type. They help websites remember things about you—like whether you're logged in or what settings you prefer.
Think of them like bookmarks, but for websites to use instead of you. Some stay around for years, others disappear when you close your browser. We use several different kinds on our platform.
Types of Tracking We Use
Essential Tracking
These keep the website functioning. Without them, you can't log in, navigate between pages properly, or use basic features. We don't ask permission for these because they're necessary for the site to work. If you're testing AR/VR gameplay on our platform, these make sure your session data doesn't vanish.
Functional Tracking
These remember your choices—like display settings, language preferences, or which dashboard layout you prefer. They make your experience smoother because you don't have to reconfigure everything each time you visit. For gameplay testing, they remember your testing environment preferences.
Analytics Tracking
We use these to understand how people use our site. Which features get used most? Where do people get stuck? This helps us improve the platform. For example, if we notice everyone struggles with a specific optimization tool, we know we need to redesign it.
Marketing Tracking
These track your journey across different sites to show you relevant content. Honestly, these are the ones people worry about most. If you've visited our VR testing pages and then see our ads elsewhere, that's marketing tracking at work. You can reject these without affecting site functionality.
How We Actually Use These
Let me break down what happens in practice. When you first land on zylontext.com, essential tracking starts immediately—it has to, or the site wouldn't work. If you create an account or log in, we store authentication data so you don't have to re-enter credentials every five minutes.
During Testing Sessions
When you're running AR or VR gameplay tests, we track performance metrics. Frame rates, load times, interaction patterns—all the technical stuff that helps identify optimization opportunities. This data connects to your session through tracking technologies.
We also monitor which testing tools you use most often. If you always start with the frame rate analyzer, we might move that higher in your dashboard. Small quality-of-life improvements based on actual behavior patterns.
Analytics Collection
Our analytics tracking watches broad patterns. How long do testing sessions typically last? Which documentation pages get the most traffic? Where do people abandon workflows? This isn't about tracking individuals—it's about spotting systemic issues or popular features.
We aggregate this data before anyone looks at it. So we might see "75% of users access mobile VR testing within their first week" but we don't see "Marko from Ljubljana accessed mobile VR testing on Tuesday."
Important: Essential tracking cannot be disabled because it powers core functionality. Everything else can be controlled through your browser settings or by using the rejection button on this page.
Data Retention
Different tracking types stick around for different lengths of time. Session tracking disappears when you close your browser. Authentication tracking typically lasts 30 days, so you stay logged in between visits. Analytics tracking might persist for up to two years—long enough to spot long-term trends.
Marketing tracking varies depending on the service. Some last 90 days, others up to a year. When tracking expires, it's automatically deleted. You don't need to do anything.
Tracking Type | Duration | Can Be Disabled |
---|---|---|
Session Management | Until browser closes | No |
Authentication | 30 days | No |
Preferences | 1 year | Yes |
Analytics | 2 years | Yes |
Marketing | 90 days to 1 year | Yes |
Managing Your Preferences
You have several options for controlling tracking technologies. The simplest is using the rejection button at the top of this page. Click it, and we'll clear all non-essential tracking and remember your choice.
Browser Controls
Every modern browser lets you manage tracking directly. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, you can block all tracking, block third-party tracking, or manually approve each site. Here's what to look for:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all tracking will break some website features. You'll need to log in every single time you visit, your preferences won't save, and some interactive elements might not work. But it's your choice.
Third-Party Tools
Browser extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or Ghostery give you more granular control. They can block specific tracking types while allowing others. Some people prefer this middle-ground approach.
Third-Party Services
We use external services that set their own tracking. Google Analytics helps us understand site usage. If we run advertising campaigns, those platforms use tracking to measure effectiveness. These third parties have their own policies that govern how they handle data.
We don't control what they do with tracking data, but we choose partners carefully. We only work with services that comply with European privacy standards since we operate in Slovenia.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Privacy laws change. Our practices might change. When we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top and notify active users through our platform. Significant changes will be announced more prominently.
We review this policy every six months to make sure it's accurate and current. The last review was in March 2025.
