Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how qubiator uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit qubiator.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle personal information more broadly. If you have questions about anything here, you can reach us at hello@qubiator.com.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They help websites work properly, remember your preferences, and provide information about how the site is being used. Some cookies last only for the length of your visit. Others stay on your device for a set period until they expire or you delete them.

Cookies may be set by us directly, or by third-party services we rely on, such as our payment processor or our analytics provider.

The Two Kinds of Cookies We Use

We group cookies into two categories. Essential cookies are needed for the site to work and do not require your permission. Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used, and we only set those after you have said yes.

Essential Cookies

These cookies keep the site working. They handle things like remembering your cookie choice and processing payments securely. Because the site depends on them, they are set whenever you visit. You can block them through your browser, but parts of the site may stop working if you do.

Your cookie preference

When you choose to accept or decline analytics cookies, we save that choice in a cookie so we do not have to ask you again on every page.

• qubiator_consent — remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies. Lasts 12 months.

Payments

When you make a purchase, checkout is handled by Stripe, our payment processor. Stripe sets its own cookies to complete the transaction securely and to help detect fraud. These cookies are necessary to take a payment. You can read Stripe's privacy and cookie practices at stripe.com/privacy.

• __stripe_mid — set by Stripe for fraud prevention and security. Lasts 12 months.
• __stripe_sid — set by Stripe for fraud prevention and security. Lasts 30 minutes.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us see how people find and use our site so we can make it better. For this we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC. These cookies are not essential, and we only set them after you have given your permission. Until you accept, they are not placed on your device at all. You can change your mind at any time.

Google Analytics uses cookies to tell visitors apart, measure how pages are used, and report on site activity in grouped form. We use what it tells us to understand which pages and games are helpful and where visitors are spending their time.

• _ga — distinguishes individual visitors. Lasts up to 2 years.
• _ga_<container-id> — maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. Lasts up to 2 years.
• _gid — distinguishes individual visitors. Lasts 24 hours.

You can learn more about how Google handles information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/privacy.

The Stay Connected Form

Our stay connected form is provided by Anthotheca Grove, our email service. The form is loaded from a script at js.anthotheca.com. This script does not set cookies and does not use browser storage. It sends your information to Anthotheca only when you submit the form.

Because the script is loaded from Anthotheca's servers, standard browser behavior means those servers receive your IP address and the page you came from as soon as the script loads, whether or not you fill anything in. Anthotheca uses that information for security and to keep their service running. It is not used to track you across other websites.

What We Do Not Use

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, third-party ad networks, or cross-site tracking. We do not build advertising profiles, and we do not sell your personal information.

Your Choices and How to Manage Cookies

When you first visit our site, a banner asks whether you want to allow analytics cookies. Nothing analytics-related is set unless you choose to accept. If you decline, we simply do not load it.

To change your answer later, clear the cookies for qubiator.com in your browser settings. The banner will appear again on your next visit and you can choose differently.

You can also manage cookies directly through your browser. Most browsers let you view, delete, block, or get a warning about cookies through their privacy or settings menu. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site from working properly, including checkout.

Why We Are Allowed to Set These

For essential cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in running a working, secure website. These do not require your permission. For analytics cookies, we rely on your consent, which you give before those cookies are set and can withdraw whenever you like. Withdrawing consent does not undo data that was already collected before you changed your mind.

Cookies and Your Privacy

The information collected through analytics cookies is used in grouped or non-identifying form. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information without your consent. For more on how we handle data generally, see our Privacy Policy at qubiator.com/privacy.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the cookies we use change, or for legal or operational reasons. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change affects cookies that need your permission, we will ask again before setting them.
