Cookie Policy

Cookies and How They Work 

When you visit a website, a small file called a cookie is saved onto the device you’re using. 

• Consent: Most cookies need your permission—or ‘Consent’—before they can be used. However, some cookies (usually session cookies) are essential for the website’s basic functionality and do not require consent. When you revisit the same website, the cookie stored on your device is retrieved, helping to enhance your browsing experience. 

• Purpose: Cookies serve different purposes. Some make the site load faster or personalize content based on your interests, preferences, and advertisements you might find relevant. Others help us improve our websites and enhance the overall user experience. 

• Security & Fraud Prevention: Certain cookies are crucial for security and fraud prevention and are strictly necessary to give you access to the services or information you request online. 

Our Approach to Cookies 

At BLAZE Quantum, we are continually optimizing the way we present content to you. Cookies are one of the tools we use to provide you with the best possible website experience. 

• Personalization: Cookies allow us to tailor the website to your preferences, distinguish you from other users, and customize the adverts you see based on your interests. 

• Ease of Use: Cookies help us remember your login details, so you don’t need to re-enter them each time. They also allow us to track which pages you find most interesting, enhancing your overall browsing experience. 

• Transparency: Whether cookies require your Consent or not, we will always inform you about how we use them here in our cookie policy. Like any technology, cookies evolve, so please check back regularly for updates on how they’re being used. 

Cookies Are a Choice You Make Per Device 

Your cookie preferences are set per device. This means that if you access our website on different devices (such as a phone, tablet, or laptop), you will need to set your cookie preferences separately for each one. For example, if you disable advertising cookies on your laptop, you will still receive ads on your phone unless you adjust the preferences there as well. 

The Different Categories of Cookies 

There are two primary categories of cookies: 

1. Session Cookies: These cookies are active only while you are visiting a website. They typically ensure the security of your visit and may remember temporary actions, such as items added to your shopping cart. These cookies are deleted when you close your browser. 

1. Persistent Cookies: These remain stored on your device until their expiration date (if one exists) or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies usually track your behavior on the site, including the pages you visit, your preferences, and your marketing and advertising settings. 

What Type of Data Do Cookies Contain? 

The types of data stored in cookies depend on their purpose and the specific websites using them. Examples include: 

• Websites you visit/browsing history 

• The type of device you’re using 

• Software and hardware on your device 

• A unique identifier (ID) 

• Session start and end times 

• Pages viewed during your visit 

• Date of your visit to the website 

• The cookie’s expiration date 

• Passwords and usernames (encrypted) 

• Your preferences 

• Your IP address 

How Do I Give Consent for Using Cookies? 

If cookies require your consent, you can give it in several ways: 

• On your first visit to our site, a box or boxes will pop up asking you to allow us to use cookies. We may ask you to reconfirm your preferences from time to time. 

• You can also enable cookies within the settings of the browser you’re using, such as Google Chrome, Safari, or Mozilla Firefox. 

How Do I Withdraw Consent for Using Cookies? 

To withdraw your consent for cookies, you can: 

• Adjust your browser settings to change your cookie preferences. You may need to delete persistent cookies that are already stored on your device and have an expiration date in the future. 

• Deselect or reselect specific cookie categories where available, such as through tick boxes on our website or within your browser settings. 

Third-Party Cookies 

In addition to our own cookies, third-party service providers may place cookies on your device. These cookies may be used to: 

• Deliver relevant ads based on your browsing behavior and preferences. 

• Analyze website traffic and monitor performance to help us improve our services. 

We ensure that third-party cookies comply with applicable data protection laws, and we do not allow third parties to collect or use sensitive personal information through cookies. 

Changes to This Cookie Policy 

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies or updates to data privacy regulations. Any changes will be posted on our website, and we encourage you to review this policy periodically.
