USE OF ZAPPTAX SERVICES ON CUSTOMER WEBSITES / COOKIES
ZAPPTAX provides a remote service of an intangible nature (a solution known as Software as a Service, SaaS). ZAPPTAX therefore provides its Customers with an IT solution, via the Internet. The data collected is subsequently retrieved in aggregate and anonymous format.
2. DATA COLLECTED BY ZAPPTAXWhen web users visit an ZAPPTAX Customer’s website or app, ZAPPTAX collects statistical data relating to those visits. The data collected is connection data relating, for example, to the web browser used, the number of pages viewed, the number of visits, the visitor’s pathway through a site, the time spent on a site or a page, adds-to-basket or basket abandonment, etc.
A. COOKIES AND UNIQUE USER
A “cookie” is a text file that logs information on a web user’s browsing behavior. It is controlled by the browser.
For web users, using cookies is the best way to personalise their browsing experience. They allow visitors to avoid being shown repeated advertising messages and questions, and also to save time on websites where login details are required.
For ZAPPTAX, using cookies ensures that the solution can function correctly and guarantees that the tests carried out are reliable by recognising a visitor as unique each time they visit (remembers that it is the same visitor without actually knowing who it is). In particular, the cookies log which version of the test the visitor is using, with the sole purpose of being able to direct them back to the same version during future visits in order not to cause behavioural differences and consequently lead to misleading results. Under no circumstances do these cookies store any information that identifies visitors.
All the results obtained are compiled and remain fully anonymous. The results focus on browsing and behaviour: number of visitors, visits, pages views and other information required to measure the performance of each webpage version during a test. They are used to improve the ergonomics and content of the sites visited.
The ZAPPTAX solution uses “first party” cookies, i.e. they are set by the URL of the website using the ZAPPTAX service.
In accordance with European Directive 2009/136/CE known as the “Telecoms Package”, cookies are only set and read by the ZAPPTAX solution once the visitor has given their consent to the use of cookies by ZAPPTAX Customers; these Customers also use a management interface to modify the settings for storing cookies. It should also be noted that these cookies expire within a period of 13 months.
B. IP AND GEOLOCATION
As part of the process of collecting and processing data, ZAPPTAX uses the visitor’s IP data for the sole purpose of geolocating their connection device (with regional precision, even at town level in some countries).
In order to ensure better protection of privacy, ZAPPTAX also offers its Clients IP address anonymity: the last three numbers of the IP address are immediately erased after collection and after any geo-localising operation.
The default setting applied for visitor IP addresses is anonymous IP addressing. In order to protect this data, ZAPPTAX keeps the IP addresses truncated in encrypted form and does not subsequently restate them via the Customer interface or any other locality in the company.
C. BLOCKING COOKIES
In all instances, web users are able to manage these cookies as they are stored within the browser settings on their computer. Web users are therefore able to read them, filter them, refuse them and remove them.

D. OPT-OUT CLAUSE
ZAPPTAX offers visitors the option to block the collection of information regarding their visits to the ZAPPTAX website and websites of ZAPPTAX Customers where ZAPPTAX collects data by means of its own cookie.
In order to enable this option, the visitor must first allow a cookie from the site in order to process their request to opt out of data collection. If they either refuse to accept this cookie or delete it at a later time, ZAPPTAX cannot then process their opt-out request and they will continue to receive cookies.
To enable this opt-out, visitors need to add the setting #zapptaxoptout=1 to the end of the URL for the website on which they wish to block ZAPPTAX cookies. For example, if they do not want cookies to be collected on ZAPPTAX webpages, visitors must access the page https://www.zapptax.com/#zapptaxoptout=1 .
This option does not delete existing cookies but will prevent updates to them, so they will not collect any new data. It should be noted that if a visitor subsequently wipes their cookies, deletes the opt-out cookie, or changes their device or browser, they must then carry out the opt-out procedure again.
