Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Queblornvakax ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website queblornvakax.ddd. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We comply with the rules on cookies and similar technologies under EU law and Irish implementing measures (including S.I. No. 336 of 2011, as amended, transposing the ePrivacy Directive), and with GDPR where personal data is processed.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. "Similar technologies" include, for example, local storage in your browser. We use browser local storage to remember your cookie choices (accept, reject, or category settings). This is functionally similar to a cookie and is treated the same for transparency purposes.

Cookies can be "session" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (remain until they expire or you delete them).

3. What We Use Today

3.1 Strictly necessary / essential

To remember whether you have made a choice on our cookie banner and what that choice was, we store a small record in your browser's local storage (key related to cookie consent). This is necessary for the banner to work consistently and to respect your settings. We do not use this record to track you across other sites or for advertising.

Legal basis: Strictly necessary to store information you have requested (cookie preferences) and to provide the service in line with ePrivacy rules; where any personal data is involved, legitimate interests or consent as applicable under GDPR.

Retention: Until you clear site data or we change how consent is stored (typically up to 12 months unless you reset sooner).

3.2 Analytics and marketing cookies

We do not currently set analytics or marketing cookies on this Website, and we do not load third-party advertising or analytics scripts based on this policy. Our cookie banner allows you to opt in to these categories so that, if we introduce such technologies in the future, we can activate them only after you have given consent where required by law. If we add them, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, ask for your consent before non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Third parties that provide embedded content (for example, font or icon delivery from a content delivery network) may set or read technical data according to their own policies. We do not control those technologies. If we integrate analytics, advertising, or social plugins that use third-party cookies, we will list them here and obtain consent where required before they are activated.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

5.1 Our Cookie Settings

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to:

• Accept all categories (including analytics and marketing, for future use if we introduce those tools)
• Reject non-essential categories
• Customize your preferences by category via Cookie Settings

You can reopen the cookie preferences screen at any time via Cookie preferences in the Legal section of our website footer (this opens the settings on the homepage).

5.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in popular browsers:

• Google Chrome: chrome://settings/cookies
• Mozilla Firefox: about:preferences#privacy
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy
• Microsoft Edge: edge://settings/privacy

5.3 Opt-Out Tools

You can opt out of certain third-party cookies using industry opt-out tools:

• Your Online Choices: www.youronlinechoices.eu
• Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org
• Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info

6. Impact of Disabling Cookies and Storage

If you disable or delete cookies or clear local storage for our site, some features may not function properly—for example, your cookie choice may not be remembered and the banner may appear again. Third-party fonts or icons may also be affected if you block all third-party storage.

Strictly necessary storage used only to remember your cookie consent is required for our consent tool to work as intended.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date.

8. Your Rights

Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, you have the right to:

• Be informed about the cookies we use
• Give or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies
• Access information about cookies stored on your device
• Request deletion of cookie data we hold about you
