Cookie Policy

Effective date: March 1, 2026

1. How we use cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage to run core website features and, where you consent, to run analytics and advertising services. This policy applies to visitors in the UK and other regions.

2. Cookie categories

Essential (always on)

Required for service operation, including consent and accessibility preferences and security-related behavior. These do not require opt-in under UK PECR where strictly necessary.

Analytics (optional)

Used to understand site usage and improve performance/content (for example Google Analytics, if configured). Analytics are disabled until you give consent.

Advertising (optional)

Used to show Google AdSense ads that fund the free service. Advertising technologies are disabled until you give consent.

3. What is not a cookie

Dynamic QR scan insights (for example total scans, 7-day counts, country totals, and device totals) are server-side aggregate counters, not browser cookies.

4. Consent and controls

You can Accept all, Reject non-essential, or Customize your choices using the consent banner and footer Cookie settings button. You can change your choice at any time.

5. Third-party services

When enabled by consent, third-party providers such as Google may set/read cookies and process related data under their own privacy terms.

In some regions, Google may also show its own consent message depending on its policy requirements.

6. Data retention for cookie preferences

We retain your consent choice in browser storage until you change preferences, clear browser storage, or use a browser/device where no choice has yet been saved.
