Cookie policy
Last updated: 9 October 2026
Cookies and browser storage (localStorage) keep small pieces of information on your device. Zooki World uses only what it needs to work, unless you allow more. You choose when you first arrive and can change your choice at any time:
Necessary (always on)
The zoo cannot work without these, so they need no consent. None of them follow you to other sites.
| Name | Type | What for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
bh_session | Cookie (HttpOnly) | Keeps you signed in after you enter a sign-in code | 30 days, or until you sign out |
zoo.consent | localStorage | Remembers your choice about cookies | Until you clear it |
zoo.look | localStorage | Your character, so you look the same next time | Until you clear it |
brandhold.email | localStorage | The email you last signed in with, to fill in the form | Until you clear it |
| Sound and chat settings | localStorage | Mute, chat preferences, and a random token that times when free chat opens for you | Until you clear them |
| Paddle checkout | Cookies set by Paddle | Only when you open a checkout: needed to take the payment safely | See Paddle's cookie policy |
Analytics (with your consent)
Umami, running on our own server, counts page views and a few anonymous events (for example, how often the animals are greeted). It uses no cookies and builds no profile. With analytics off it does not load at all; if you switch them off later it stops sending (umami.disabled in localStorage remembers that).
Marketing (with your consent)
We use no advertising partners today. If we ever add any, they will load only if you have allowed marketing, they will be listed here, and we will ask you again.
Not storage, but worth knowing
For the visitor numbers on the stats page the server counts visits. It puts nothing in your browser and keeps nothing about you: your IP address is held, scrambled, in memory for 30 minutes so that reloading the page is not counted twice.
