What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. These files contain small amounts of information that the website can read when you return.
Cookies serve many different purposes. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how you use the site, keep you logged into your account, and provide personalized content and advertisements.
Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and to provide useful information about user behavior and preferences.
There are different types of cookies. Some cookies are placed directly by our website (first-party cookies), while others are placed by third-party services we use, such as Google Analytics or Google AdSense (third-party cookies).
Cookies can also be categorized based on how long they last. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
Why We Use Cookies
At Zendric, we use cookies for several important reasons that help us provide you with better service and improve your experience on our website.
To Make Our Website Function Properly: Some cookies are essential for our website to work correctly. Without these cookies, certain features and services would not be available to you.
To Understand How You Use Our Site: We use analytics cookies to see which pages are popular, how long visitors stay on different pages, where our traffic comes from, and how people navigate through our site. This information helps us improve our content and make our website more useful.
To Remember Your Preferences: Cookies help us remember your settings and preferences, such as language preferences, display settings, or whether you’ve seen certain notifications. This makes your experience more personalized and convenient.
To Provide Relevant Content: We use cookies to understand your interests based on your browsing behavior. This helps us show you farming tips, training programs, and articles that are most relevant to your needs.
To Display Advertisements: We participate in Google AdSense and other advertising programs that use cookies to display relevant advertisements on our website. These ads help us keep our educational content free for everyone.

To Enhance Security: We use cookies to detect suspicious activity, prevent fraudulent behavior, and protect your account and personal information.
To Provide Social Media Features: When you share our content on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Pinterest, cookies may be set by those platforms to track sharing activity.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use different categories of cookies on our website. Here is a detailed explanation of each type:
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies, also called strictly necessary cookies, are required for our website to function properly. These cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, accessibility, and basic navigation.
Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided. For example, essential cookies allow you to move around the website, access secure areas, and use shopping cart features when purchasing training programs.
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function, they are automatically placed when you visit our site. You cannot refuse these cookies, but you can delete them through your browser settings. However, this may prevent you from using certain parts of our website.
Examples of essential cookies we use include:
- Session cookies that keep you logged into your account
- Security cookies that authenticate users and prevent fraud
- Load balancing cookies that distribute traffic across our servers
- Cookie consent cookies that remember your cookie preferences
Analytics and Performance Cookies
We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website. This helps us understand which content is most valuable, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions about our website.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users interact with our website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google.
