Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Carbon Code Product Development SRL ("Carbon Code", "we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Lap Zero platform (the "Service") available at lapzero.com, app.lapzero.com, and related subdomains.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferences, login status, or analytics data.
We also use similar technologies like local storage and session storage, which serve comparable purposes but operate slightly differently. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as "cookies" throughout this policy.
2. Types of cookies we use
We use cookies in the following categories:
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. Without them, parts of the Service cannot work correctly.
Examples:
Authentication and session management (keeping you logged in)
Security tokens (protecting against CSRF attacks)
Load balancing and routing
Legal basis: Necessary for the performance of the contract (no consent required).
2.2 Functional cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and choices to provide a more personalized experience.
Examples:
Language preference
Display preferences (e.g., dark mode)
Recently viewed events
Legal basis: Legitimate interests.
2.3 Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Service so we can improve it. The data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
Examples:
Pages visited and time spent
Features used
Errors encountered
Approximate location (country level)
We use privacy-respecting analytics providers and minimize personal data collection.
Legal basis: Consent (where required) or legitimate interests with anonymization.
2.4 Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by services we use to operate the Service. These include:
Stripe — for payment processing and fraud prevention
Hosting and CDN providers — for delivering content efficiently and securely
Third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of those providers.
3. Cookies we do not use
We do not use cookies for:
Advertising or behavioral targeting
Cross-site tracking
Selling data to third parties
Building advertising profiles
4. How long cookies last
Cookies can be either:
Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period
The retention period varies by cookie type:
Cookie type Typical duration Authentication Session, or up to 30 days if "remember me" is selected Functional preferences Up to 12 months Analytics Up to 24 months Security tokens Session
5. How to manage cookies
You can control cookies in several ways:
5.1 Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Be aware that blocking essential cookies will prevent the Service from working correctly.
Instructions for common browsers:
5.2 Cookie consent banner
When you first visit the Service, you may see a cookie banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time through the Service settings.
5.3 Opt-out from analytics
You can opt out of analytics tracking at any time. Contact us at contact@lapzero.com if you need help.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry standard for how to interpret DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. However, we minimize tracking by design, as described in this policy.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates when it was last revised.
