What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function, improve efficiency, and provide information to the website owner.
This Cookie Policy explains how ZB Capital S.R.L. uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and session storage) on the ZB Capital platform, in accordance with the GDPR (EU Regulation 2016/679), the Italian Privacy Code (Legislative Decree 196/2003 as amended), and the Garante's guidelines on cookies (Provvedimento del 10 giugno 2021).
Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Service and cannot be disabled. They include:
- Authentication session token — set by Supabase to keep you logged in during a session. Without this cookie, you would need to log in on every page. Duration: session.
- CSRF protection token — prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. Duration: session.
- Cookie consent preference — remembers your cookie consent choice so we do not re-prompt on every visit. Duration: 12 months.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent under GDPR and the Garante's guidelines because they are indispensable to provide the service you requested.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation. If disabled, some features may not work correctly:
- UI preferences — stores your preferred theme, timezone, and display settings in local storage. Duration: persistent until cleared.
Analytics Cookies
With your consent, we use anonymised analytics to understand how users interact with the Service, so we can improve it. These cookies:
- Do not identify you personally
- IP addresses are truncated before storage
- Data is never sold to or shared with advertisers
You may opt out of analytics cookies at any time (see “Managing Cookies” below).
Cookies We Do Not Use
ZB Capital does not use advertising cookies, behavioural targeting cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party remarketing tags of any kind.
Legal Basis
Under GDPR Art. 6 and the Garante's cookie guidelines:
- Strictly necessary cookies — legal basis: contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in maintaining security (Art. 6(1)(f)). No consent required.
- Functional cookies — legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) in providing a coherent user experience. You may disable them via browser settings.
- Analytics cookies — legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)). These are only set after you click “Accept” in our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Third-Party Cookies
ZB Capital does not allow third parties to set advertising or tracking cookies on our platform. Authentication and session management is handled by Supabase, which may set cookies strictly necessary for those functions. Supabase acts as a data processor on our behalf under a Data Processing Agreement.
If you connect a third-party broker integration, that broker's own cookie policy will apply to any session you initiate on their platform.
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
Cookie Banner
When you first visit ZB Capital, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can revisit this choice at any time via the cookie settings link in the footer.

- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

Do Not Track
We honour the DNT (Do Not Track) browser signal. If your browser sends a DNT signal, we will not set analytics cookies even if you have not explicitly opted out via our banner.
