ZONE-RUSH.COM
Last updated: 12 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how INDIGO INTELLECT LTD (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on zone-rush.com and play.zone-rush.com (the “Service”), what they are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help websites function, improve performance, and provide information to site owners.
We also use similar technologies such as:
- Pixels / tags (small code snippets that help measure usage),
- SDKs (software development kits in web apps),
- Local storage (browser storage used for certain app settings).
For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this Policy.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Make the Service work (essential)
- keep you logged in (session management)
- protect accounts and detect suspicious activity
- enable core website and game functionality
- Remember preferences
- language and UI settings
- cookie consent choices
- Measure and improve performance (analytics)
- understand how users navigate the Service
- identify errors/crashes and improve stability
- Security and fraud prevention
- detect bot traffic, abuse, and payment fraud patterns
- support risk controls used by payment providers
- Marketing (if enabled)
- measure effectiveness of marketing campaigns
- personalise marketing content (only where permitted and with required consent)
3. Types of Cookies We Use

Legal basis: consent where required (commonly in the UK/EU).
D) Marketing / Advertising (Optional)
These cookies are used to deliver or measure advertising and marketing, where enabled.
Examples:

- retargeting (only where used and consented)
Legal basis: consent.
4. First-Party vs Third-Party Cookies
- First-party cookies are set by our domains (zone-rush.com / play.zone-rush.com).
- Third-party cookies are set by other organisations whose services we use (e.g., analytics providers, payment providers, anti-fraud tools).
Third parties may process information collected via their cookies under their own privacy policies. Where required, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential third-party cookies.
5. Cookie Duration
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
Typical retention ranges:
- Essential session cookies: session-only
- Preference cookies: up to 12 months
- Analytics cookies: up to 24 months (varies by provider)
- Marketing cookies: up to 24 months (varies by provider)
Actual durations depend on the specific cookie/provider and may change.
6. Managing Cookies and Consent
6.1 Cookie banner / preference centre
When you first visit the Service (and periodically thereafter), you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to:
- Accept all cookies,
- Reject non-essential cookies,
- Configure preferences by category.
Your choice is stored so we can respect it. You can update your choices at any time via the cookie settings link (if available on the website) or by clearing cookies (see below).
6.2 Browser controls
Most browsers let you control cookies through settings, including:
- deleting cookies,
- blocking all cookies,
- blocking third-party cookies,
- allowing cookies only for certain sites.
If you block essential cookies, parts of the Service (including login and gameplay) may not function correctly.
6.3 How to delete cookies
You can delete cookies in your browser settings. After deleting, you may see the cookie banner again and will need to reset preferences.
7. Cookies Used for Payments and Fraud Prevention
When you make a purchase, our payment providers and fraud-prevention partners may place cookies or use similar technologies to:
- authenticate your transaction (e.g., 3DS flows),
- detect fraud and prevent chargeback abuse,
- secure payment processing.
These technologies may be essential for transaction security and may not be optional during checkout.
8. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. There is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals. We respond to cookie preferences via our consent tools rather than DNT.
9. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date indicates the latest version. Material changes may be highlighted via the Service or cookie banner where appropriate.
