Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 6, 2026

Summary: Zignt uses essential cookies required to operate our service, plus optional Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement cookies that are set only if you accept them in our cookie banner. We do not sell your data, and declining optional cookies does not limit the Service.

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Zignt ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at zignt.com or use our electronic signature platform (the "Service"). This policy provides you with clear and comprehensive information about the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them.

Essential cookies are set automatically because the Service cannot function without them. Optional analytics and measurement cookies are set only after you choose "Accept all" in the cookie banner. You can decline them at any time by choosing "Essential only", and you can change your mind later by clearing this site's data in your browser, which makes the banner appear again.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use two categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of our Service, such as authentication and security cookies. These are always active.
  • Optional analytics and measurement cookies from Google (Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion measurement). These help us understand how visitors find and use Zignt and whether our advertising works. They are set only if you accept them in the cookie banner; until then, Google's tags run in a cookieless, consent-denied mode.

We do not use social media tracking cookies, and we do not sell personal information collected through cookies.

4. Cookies We Use

5. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of our Service. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function properly. They include:

  • Authentication Cookies: Keep you logged in to your account securely
  • Security Cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and other security threats
  • Session Cookies: Maintain your session state while using the Service

Because these cookies are essential, they cannot be disabled. If you block essential cookies, you will not be able to use the Service.

6. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we may use browser local storage to store certain information:

  • Guest Template Data: If you upload a document without logging in, template data is temporarily stored in local storage until you create an account or the session expires
  • User Preferences: Theme preferences (light/dark mode) and other UI settings

You can clear local storage through your browser settings. Note that this may affect your experience with the Service.

7. Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with certain third-party services that may set their own cookies:

7.1 Stripe (Payment Processing)

When you make a payment, Stripe may set cookies to process the transaction securely and prevent fraud. Stripe's use of cookies is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

7.2 Google (Analytics, Ads Measurement, OAuth & Drive Integration)

If you accept optional cookies, Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion measurement set the cookies listed in Section 4. Separately, if you connect your Google account for authentication or Google Drive integration, Google may set its own cookies in that flow. Google's use of cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

8. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

  • View what cookies are stored on your device
  • Delete individual cookies or all cookies
  • Block cookies from specific websites
  • Block all cookies from all websites
  • Get notified when a cookie is being set

Browser-Specific Instructions

Important: If you block essential cookies, you will not be able to log in or use the Service properly.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track users. There is no industry standard for honoring DNT signals, so we rely on our cookie banner instead: optional analytics and measurement cookies stay off unless you actively accept them, which gives you a stronger guarantee than DNT regardless of your browser settings.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
