A “cookie” is a small text file that can be sent from a web server to your computer that is then stored on your computer. When a cookie is stored on your computer each subsequent request to the same domain name will also send along the data stored in the cookie until the cookie expires or is deleted. A server can only give you a cookie if you make a request to that server. The cookie is only stored if your browser/client is configured to store cookies.

Cookies help provide additional functionality to the website or to help us analyse website usage more accurately. For instance, our server may set a cookie that keeps you from having to enter a password more than once during a visit to one of our websites. In order to manage the website, Qompium collects information on the IP address used when the computer that a user is using connects to the Internet.

We only use the IP addresses collected through the website to ensure the appropriate and secure management and operation of the Qompium’s services. In addition to preventing unauthorised access, the collection of IP addresses enables quick identification of the cause and restoration of normal operations in the event of a failure of the website. We do not use or disclose IP addresses in connection with individuals’ personal information.

While we collect information on how you use the website’s services, we preserve the anonymity of individual users in the use or disclosure of this information. However, when we deem it necessary for the protection of the website or of its users/visitors, we may implement measures by using IP addresses to identify individuals.

We use cookies to personalise content, ads and to analyse our traffic. We also share information about your use of our site with our advertising and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services.

We also use cookies to collect data for the purpose of personalizing and measuring the effectiveness of our advertising. For more details, visit the Google Privacy Policy.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser to warn you before a cookie is placed or to refuse cookies. More information on how to set your browser can be found via the following links:

Currently, some browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option which sends a signal to websites visited indicating a visitor’s tracking preference. Qompium does not currently respond to these signals, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators. The third-party providers Qompium uses may or may not do anything in response to this signal.
