Additional information on Zulano
Zulano (www.zulano.io and its subdomains) is a service of Creativate Technologies GmbH. The text above applies; this section describes what is specific to Zulano.
Zulano uses no analytics, marketing or tracking cookies and no HubSpot. The analytics and marketing cookies described above are not set on Zulano. Only what is listed here is stored.
On www.zulano.io
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
zulano_lang | Cookie (all of zulano.io) | Remembers the language (de/en) of the page last opened or chosen by you; set on every page view | 12 months |
zulano_cookie_consent | Local storage | Notes that you have closed the storage notice | until you clear your browser data |
zulano_sandbox_id | Local storage | Random ID for the free question allowance in the chat at /app — only if you use the chat | until you clear your browser data |
All three are strictly necessary for a function you have requested (Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG) and need no consent. The notice at the bottom of the page therefore offers no choice; you can show it again at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
In the applications (app.zulano.io, zfu.zulano.io, bau.zulano.io)
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
zulano_auth | Cookie (all of zulano.io) | Proof of login (identity token) for the applications and the catalogue | until the browser is closed; 7 days with “stay signed in” |
zulano_session | Cookie (all of zulano.io) | Marker “signed in” (value “1”, no token) so that all Zulano pages recognise the login status | as zulano_auth |
zulano_guest | Cookie | Transfers a guest session into your account after registration | deleted once transferred |
zulano_remember, zfu_user_id, draft keys | Local storage | “Stay signed in” setting, user reference and intermediate states of your applications | until you sign out or clear your browser data |
These, too, serve only the login and the functions you use.
