What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store on your device.
When you return to the site, the browser sends those files back, so the site can recognise your session, remember your preferences or measure how pages are used. Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and small tracking pixels - work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them all under the general term “cookies”.
A cookie generally contains the name of the site that set it, a value (often a random identifier) and an expiry date. Cookies cannot read other files on your device and are not programs.
Why we use cookies
Kwantum-KI relies on cookies to maintain website security and operational stability, store your preferences and selections, identify which content proves valuable to visitors, and - with your permission - evaluate the effectiveness of our promotional activities. Essential cookies are deployed immediately upon site access since core functionality depends on them. Other cookie types are activated solely following your consent, which you retain the right to revoke at any point.
The categories we use
Every cookie used on this site falls into one of four categories below.
Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the site usable: they maintain your session while you move between pages, balance traffic across servers, protect forms against automated abuse and remember the cookie choices you have already made. They do not build a profile of you and cannot be switched off through our banner, because without them core functions such as signing in would fail.
Preference (functionality) cookies
These retain your selected preferences - such as your chosen language, geographic location, viewing settings or whether you have closed an information banner. They enhance user experience but are not required for operation; should you decline them, the site remains fully functional and will simply request your preferences each time you visit.
Analytics (performance) cookies
These enable us to track page views, determine which content receives attention, measure visit duration and identify technical issues. The data provided is compiled in aggregate form: showing whether content attracts interest or performs slowly, not revealing user identity. We apply these insights to resolve issues and optimize site organization.
Marketing (advertising) cookies
These track the source of your visit from a specific promotion or advertisement, prevent repeated exposure to identical messages, and assess whether a promotion resulted in account creation. Third-party advertising partners may access these cookies on their platforms. Activation requires your explicit approval.
| Category | Purpose | Consent needed | Typical lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, security, load balancing, consent record | No - required for the site to work | Session up to about 12 months |
| Preference | Language, region and display choices | Yes | Days up to about 12 months |
| Analytics | Aggregated traffic and page-performance statistics | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
| Marketing | Promotional source tracking and advertisement performance assessment | Yes | Days up to about 24 months |
How long cookies live
Session cookies exist only while your browser window is open and are erased automatically when you close it. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them; on this site their lifetimes range from a few days to roughly two years, depending on the purpose. The exact expiry of an individual cookie can always be inspected in your browser’s storage settings.
We keep the record of your consent choices for a limited period so that the banner does not reappear at every visit; after that period we will ask again.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by service providers acting on our behalf, for example providers of web analytics, content delivery, fraud prevention or advertising measurement. These providers may read their own cookies when you visit other sites that use the same services. We do not control the content of third-party cookies; their use of the data they collect is governed by their own privacy and cookie notices.
Third-party cookies that are not essential require your prior approval via the cookie banner before deployment. To obtain current information about which providers are active, please reach out to our support team for the latest list.
How to refuse or delete cookies
You retain the right to alter your preferences at any time.
Through our banner
Access the cookie banner or the cookie settings option on our website to approve or decline the preference, analytics, and marketing cookie types. Declining a category prevents future cookies of that category from being created; previously stored cookies may be removed using your browser's tools.
Through your browser
Most modern browsers provide functionality to inspect saved cookies, remove them one at a time or completely, prevent cookies from particular domains, prevent all third-party cookies, or remove all data automatically upon browser closure. These options are typically available within a menu called "Settings", followed by "Privacy", "Privacy and security", "Site permissions" or "Cookies and site data". Tablet and phone browsers offer equivalent functionality through their preference sections, while tablet and phone platforms include independent settings for tracking identifiers.
Private browsing
Opening the site in a private or incognito window means most cookies are discarded when you close that window, though this does not prevent them from being set during your visit.
What happens if you block cookies
Disabling essential cookies will cause certain features of the website to malfunction: you may lose your login status, be unable to complete forms or finish authentication procedures. Disabling preference cookies results in user choices such as language preferences failing to persist. Disabling analytics or promotional cookies does not impact site performance - you will simply be excluded from our analytics data and campaign evaluation.
Updates and how to contact us
We review this policy periodically and update it when the cookies we use, the technologies behind them or the applicable rules change. The current version is always published on this page; material changes will be signalled on the site or through the cookie banner, and continued use after the update means the revised policy applies.
If you have a question about this policy, want details of a specific cookie or wish to exercise a data-protection right, please write to our support team through the contact page. Related documents are listed in the footer of every page, including our Privacy Policy.
