This Cookie Policy explains how Qart (“Qart,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you access or use the Qart website, products, services, public QR pages, and related functionality (collectively, the “Service”).

Qart is operated by Creative Pandem, LLC.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device or browser when you visit a website or use an online service. Cookies can help websites remember information about your visit, keep you logged in, store preferences, support core functionality, and improve how services operate.

Qart may also use similar technologies, such as local storage, scripts, tags, or other tools that collect or store information on a device or browser for similar purposes. In this Cookie Policy, we refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies,” unless stated otherwise.

2. Why Qart Uses Cookies

Qart uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

• enabling login, authentication, and session management;
• keeping the Service secure and helping prevent abuse, fraud, or malicious activity;
• remembering service-related preferences;
• identifying and counting unique scans;
• applying subscription or plan-limit usage rules;
• displaying related usage information to account holders;
• supporting core Service functionality;

Qart currently uses cookies and similar technologies primarily as part of the core operation of the Service.

3. Types of Cookies We May Use

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly. They may be used for:

• account login and session management;
• security and authentication;
• fraud prevention;
• load balancing or core site functionality;
• remembering essential choices needed to provide the Service;
• identifying and counting unique scans for subscription metering and plan-limit enforcement;

These cookies support the Service requested by users and the operation of Qart’s subscription model.

B. Functional or Service Preference Cookies

Qart may use limited cookies or similar technologies to remember service-related settings or preferences that support the operation of the Service.

C. Security and Anti-Abuse Technologies

Qart may use tools designed to protect the Service from spam, bots, fraud, and abuse. These tools may rely on cookies or similar technologies.

For example, certain areas of the Service may use technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA or similar tools if enabled.

D. Third-Party Cookies or Similar Technologies

Some third-party services integrated into the Service may set their own cookies or use similar technologies as part of delivering functionality requested by the user. These may include services related to:

• payment processing;
• bot detection and abuse prevention;
• embedded or linked third-party functionality;

These third parties may include, depending on how the Service is used:

• Stripe
• Google reCAPTCHA

Third-party cookies and similar technologies are governed by the privacy and cookie practices of the relevant third party, not by Qart.

4. Where Cookies May Be Used

Cookies and similar technologies may be used on:

• the main Qart website;
• account and authentication areas;
• subscription and checkout-related pages;
• dashboards and usage interfaces;
• public QR pages;
• other pages or features that are part of the Service;

5. Consent and Cookie Controls

Qart currently uses cookies and similar technologies primarily for core Service functionality, including login, security, unique-scan counting, and subscription plan-limit enforcement.

Qart does not currently describe its existing unique-scan cookie as a separate optional analytics or advertising cookie.

If Qart introduces non-essential cookies or similar technologies in the future, Qart may update this Cookie Policy and, where required by applicable law, provide additional notice or request consent.

Users can still manage cookies through their browser or device settings, but disabling certain cookies may affect how the Service works, including unique-scan counting, subscription metering, security, login, and other core functionality.

6. How You Can Control Cookies

You may have several options to control cookies.

A. Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or manage cookies through browser settings. Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• delete existing cookies;
• block all cookies;
• block only third-party cookies;
• clear cookies when you close your browser;

Please note that blocking or disabling certain cookies may affect how the Service works and may cause some features to stop working properly.

B. Device and Platform Controls

Some devices, operating systems, and platforms offer additional privacy settings that may affect the use of cookies or similar technologies.

7. Retention of Cookie-Related Data

Cookie duration may vary depending on the purpose of the cookie.

Some cookies are session cookies, which expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which remain for a longer period until they expire or are deleted.

Qart retains cookie-related information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, including security, session management, unique-scan counting, subscription metering, plan-limit enforcement, and preference storage.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for how to respond to these signals, Qart does not guarantee that the Service will respond to “Do Not Track” signals in a particular way unless explicitly stated otherwise.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Qart may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we do, we may update the “Last Updated” date and post the revised version on the website.

Your continued use of the Service after an updated Cookie Policy becomes effective constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
