General
This cookie policy applies to the public website zero-trust.be. This is a static site used to present Zero Trust, our services, and the development of ION. It does not use marketing cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party tracking cookies.
What we currently set
At present, the marketing site itself does not set cookies for audience measurement, advertising tracking, remarketing, social media profiling, or behavioural analysis. We also do not use advertising network scripts or third-party analytics tools that place cookies on your device.
Strictly necessary cookies
The site currently uses two first-party preference cookies:
- zt_lang stores the country-language prefix you selected, so internal navigation can keep the same language/country context. It is stored for up to 7 days.
- zt_geo_prompt stores whether you accepted or dismissed the country/language prompt, so the prompt does not keep appearing. It is stored for up to 7 days.
These cookies are not used for analytics, advertising, remarketing, social media profiling, or behavioural tracking.
Local storage
The site uses local storage for zt_ip_context_v1 and zt_ip_geo_cache_v2. These store the request-derived IP context and IP geolocation result for up to 7 days so the country/language prompt and /scan page use the same network facts. Before reuse, the site asks /api/scan/context for the current HTTP request IP; if it changed, the stored context is replaced. These entries are not used for advertising, analytics, remarketing, social media profiling, or behavioural tracking.
External requests are not the same as cookies
When you visit this site, your browser may still connect to certain external services without that meaning cookies are being placed by the marketing site itself.
When the site loads, a request may be sent to rsms.me to fetch the CSS for the Inter font. The country/language prompt and /scan page may send same-origin requests to /api/scan/context; that endpoint may enrich the current request IP server-side through IP metadata providers such as ipwho.is, ipapi.co, ip-api.com, and ipinfo.io. On /scan, same-origin requests are also sent to /api/scan/osm/* for the server-side OpenStreetMap tile proxy, and the browser may ask you whether to share precise geolocation. Direct browser requests may also be sent to ipwho.is, ipapi.co, or ipinfo.io when same-origin context is unavailable or incomplete. Direct requests may also be sent to api.ipify.org and api6.ipify.org to detect public IPv4/IPv6 reachability. These network requests are technically different from cookies set by our site. Direct provider requests, same-origin server-side enrichment, and external font loading may still allow those third parties to see your IP address and certain browser data; proxied map tile requests do not expose your browser directly to the tile provider.
Contact form
The contact form on /contact works through an HTTPS POST request to a small backend that forwards the message to our mailbox through the Microsoft Graph API. No marketing or analytics cookies are used for that form.
Separate site: ION portal
The portal at ion.zero-trust.be is a separate site and is outside the scope of this cookie policy. If you sign in there, that portal may set its own session cookies, for example through Keycloak for authentication and session management. The cookie practices of that portal must therefore be assessed and described separately.
Why there is no cookie banner
Because zero-trust.be currently only sets limited preference cookies and does not set marketing, analytics, or third-party tracking cookies on the marketing site, no consent banner is required at this stage for analytics or marketing cookies. If that changes later, we will update both the site and this policy so that the required information and, where necessary, consent are properly provided.
Browser settings
You can always configure your browser to block cookies or delete existing cookies. If you block the preference cookies used by this site, language/country selection and prompt dismissal may not be remembered.
Changes
If we later add other cookies or technical storage, we will update this policy. The latest version is always available on zero-trust.be.
