Cookie Policy

Our Approach to Privacy

At QR8R, we believe in maintaining the highest standards of privacy for our users. We have specifically designed our platform to operate with minimal cookie usage and no tracking technologies. This policy explains our approach to user privacy with respect to cookies and tracking.

Limited Cookie Use

We only use cookies for essential authentication purposes when you willingly create an account. These cookies are necessary to maintain your login session and keep you signed in. We do not use any cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics purposes.

Our minimal cookie approach means:

• We only set cookies when you create an account or log in
• We don't use any third-party cookies that would track you across different websites
• We don't need elaborate cookie consent banners because we only use essential authentication cookies
• You can clear cookies from your browser at any time without affecting your browsing experience (you'll just need to log in again)

No User Tracking

We do not implement any user tracking mechanisms. This means:

• We don't use analytics services that track individual user behavior
• We don't create user profiles based on browsing history
• We don't employ tracking pixels or web beacons
• We don't integrate with advertising networks that track users across the internet

How We Maintain Functionality with Minimal Cookies

To provide the core functionality of our service with only essential cookies, we:

• Use secure authentication methods that only employ cookies when necessary for login sessions
• Store necessary user data securely on our servers, not in cookies on your device when possible
• Utilize server-side session management when required
• Only collect the information explicitly provided by you when you create an account or use our services

Authentication Cookies

The only cookies we use are for authentication purposes, and they serve the following functions:

• Maintaining your login session so you don't need to sign in each time you visit a new page
• Remembering your authentication status until you log out
• Ensuring the security of your account by preventing unauthorized access

These authentication cookies are not used for tracking purposes, are not shared with third parties, and contain only encrypted identifiers, not personal data. When you log out, these cookies are invalidated.

Third-Party Services

If our service integrates with any third-party services that you choose to use (such as social sharing buttons or external payment processors), those services may have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing the policies of any such services you choose to interact with.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
