This policy is a draft placeholder pending legal review and is not yet QED’s operative Cookies Policy.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and — where you consent — help us understand how the site is used.
2. Cookies we use
- Strictly necessary — required for the site and dashboards to work (e.g. session and login state, cookie consent preference). These cannot be switched off.
- Functional — remember choices you make, such as dashboard display preferences.
- Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Only set with your consent.
- Marketing — used to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. Only set with your consent, and controlled separately from analytics. See our cookie banner for the current opt-in options.
3. Managing cookies
You can change your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in the site footer, or by adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the site and dashboards work.
4. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services we use for analytics or embedded content. [Full list of third-party providers pending legal/technical review.]
