This Cookie Notice was last updated on 14th February 2022

1. Welcome

Qmee Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy.

This Cookie Notice explains what cookies are, what types of cookies are placed on your device when you visit our website and how we use them. Please see our Privacy Notice for further information on how we process your personal information.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or your device's memory. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain (internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires) and a randomly generated unique number or other identifiers. A cookie also may contain information about your device, such as user settings, browsing history and activities conducted while using our services.

3. Who can drop cookies?

First-party cookies

First-party cookies are placed on your device directly by us.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are placed on your device by our partners and service providers.

4. How long does a cookie stay on my device?

Session Cookies

There are session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only last until you close your browser. We use session cookies for a variety of reasons, including to learn more about your use of our website during one single browser session and to help you to use our website more efficiently.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies have a longer lifespan and aren't automatically deleted when you close your browser. These types of cookies are primarily used to help you quickly sign-in to our website again and for analytical purposes.

Do you use other tracking technologies?

Other technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear gifs), tracking URLs or software development kits (SDKs) can also be used. Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our service or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. Tracking URLs are custom generated links that help us understand where the traffic to our webpages comes from. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps, which function like cookies and web beacons.
