1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Qantaris (“Qantaris”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website qantaris.ae (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how personal data is handled.
By using the Website, you agree to the placement of strictly necessary cookies on your device. All other categories of cookies are placed only with your prior opt-in consent, which you can withdraw at any time through the cookie preferences centre accessible from the Website footer.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit. They allow the website to recognise your device and remember information about your visit, such as preferences and actions taken.
Cookies can be classified in several ways:
By duration:
- Session cookies: deleted automatically when you close your browser;
- Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted.
By origin:
- First-party cookies: placed directly by the website you are visiting;
- Third-party cookies: placed by a domain other than the one you are visiting, typically by an embedded service (analytics, video, fonts, maps).
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- ensure the Website functions correctly and securely;
- understand how the Website is used so we can improve its content and performance;
- remember your cookie preferences.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or cross-site behavioural tracking.
4. Categories of Cookies
At present, the Website only uses strictly necessary cookies. The other categories below are described for completeness; if we deploy them in the future, this Policy and the cookie preferences centre will be updated, and any required consent will be requested before the cookies are placed.
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality such as navigation, security, and the operation of the cookie preferences centre itself. Consent is not required for these cookies under applicable law.
4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Website: which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and whether errors are encountered. This information is used, in aggregated form, to improve the Website. Where deployed, these cookies are placed only with your prior opt-in consent. Not currently in use.
4.3 Functionality Cookies
Where used, these cookies remember preferences you have set (for example, language or region). They are placed only with your prior opt-in consent. Not currently in use.
5. Cookies Currently in Use
The table below lists every cookie placed by the Website. The cookie preferences centre always reflects the live state; this table is updated whenever the set materially changes.
| Cookie name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | qantaris.ae | Stores your cookie preferences so we do not ask again on every visit | Strictly necessary | 6 months | First-party |
6. Third-Party Services
The Website is delivered through Vercel Inc., our hosting provider. Vercel may set strictly necessary cookies for infrastructure security and content delivery; it processes the associated data under its own privacy policy: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
We do not currently use Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics or advertising service. If we add one in the future, this Policy will be updated and the cookie preferences centre will ask for your consent before the corresponding cookies are placed.
7. Your Consent and How to Manage Cookies
7.1 Consent banner
When you first visit the Website, a banner explains the cookies in use and links to this Policy. Because only strictly necessary cookies are currently placed, no opt-in consent is required to browse the site. If we deploy non-essential cookies in the future, the banner will offer accept and reject options of equal prominence before any such cookie is placed. You can review your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie preferences” in the Website footer.
7.2 Browser controls
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies, and warn you before accepting new ones. See the relevant instructions:
Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may prevent parts of the Website from functioning correctly.
8. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies that perform comparable functions:
- Pixel tags and web beacons: small transparent images used to measure page views or email opens;
- Local storage and session storage: browser-level storage mechanisms that persist data without using traditional cookies;
- Embedded scripts: code executed within the browser to measure interaction or deliver functionality.
Where these technologies require consent under applicable law, we obtain it in the same way as for cookies.
9. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the services we integrate, or applicable law. The “Effective date” above indicates the latest version. For material changes, we will re-present the consent banner so you can review and update your preferences.
