1. Introduction

This Cookies Policy makes an integral part of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Its purpose is to provide you with information about Cookies and how to control them. Concepts written in capital letters in this Cookie Policy have the same meaning as defined in the Privacy Policy or in the Terms of Use.

Cookies are used on the Website, Products, Software and Services provided by us, to collect information about the use of the Website and the Services.

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to the device you use when visiting or interacting with our Website or using our Products, Software and Services. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that Cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. They serve the purpose of making our Services more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies also make it possible for our systems to recognize your browser, provide us with analytical information, and offer you the best possible configuration.

Each Cookie distinguishes you from other Users and Website visitors. Some other techniques, such as web beacons or pixels, have similar purposes to Cookies. In this Cookies Policy, the word “Cookie” also encompasses the objects delivered by those techniques.

In general, there are three different ways to classify Cookies: how long they endure, from which origin they come and what purpose they serve.

  • Session Cookies: These Cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends).
  • Persistent Cookies: This category encompasses all Cookies that remain stored on your device until you erase them, or your browser does, depending on the Cookie’s expiration date. All persistent Cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary.
  • First-party Cookies: These Cookies are put on your device directly by PAQR.
  • Third-party Cookies: These are the Cookies placed on your device by a third party, such as an advertiser or analytic system. To help manage the underlying interaction with these third-parties efficiently, we use a tool called Google Tag Manager. While it does not set any cookies itself, it helps us route and control the other Cookies listed below. Some third-party Cookies gather information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites, which may result in advertisements or other content being displayed to you based on your browsing history.

The tables in section 4. clearly indicate the origin and provider of each of the Cookies used. Please refer to the privacy policies of these third parties to understand their processing of personal data.

There are multiple types of Cookies we use, each serving a different purpose and generally falling into one of the following groups:

  • Essential (Strictly Necessary): These Cookies are required for the basic operation of our Website and Services. They enable core functions like security, network management, and saving your Cookie consent preferences. Without these Cookies, the Website and Services cannot function properly.
  • Functional (Preferences): These Cookies allow our Website and Services to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, we use a tool called BetterDocs for our documentation, which uses functional Cookies to remember which articles you have already read so we can improve your navigation experience.
  • Statistics (Analytics): With your permission, we use these Cookies to understand how visitors interact with our Website and Services. They collect and report information anonymously, helping us see which pages are most popular and how users navigate the site. We use tools like HubSpot or Google Analytics to gather these valuable insights.
  • Marketing: These Cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display content or advertisements that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. We use tools like HubSpot to help tailor our marketing efforts, and Mailjet to securely host the embedded subscription forms on our website. Mailjet uses temporary Cookies to ensure these forms submit your information securely and correctly.
  • External Media: We embed content from external platforms, such as videos from YouTube. We use privacy-enhanced settings and content blockers so that these platforms only place tracking Cookies on your device if you actively choose to click and load the media.

The following list contains details about all Cookies we use for our Website and Services. Please note that while we strive to keep this information as accurate as possible, despite our best efforts, the names or properties of some Cookies may be incorrect or incomplete, especially as third-party providers occasionally update their Cookies.

In accordance with Section 3, we are restricted from deploying non-essential Cookies without your explicit agreement via our Cookie consent mechanism. Consequently, the legal basis for our use of these Cookies is your informed consent, as referenced in our Privacy Policy.

We operate under the assumption that the device utilized to access our Services is your own. Should this not be the case – for instance, if you are accessing the Website through an employer-provided device – we require that you possess the necessary authorization from the device owner to consent to Cookie storage and information retrieval on their behalf. By proceeding with the use of the device, you represent and warrant to us that you are so authorized.

Furthermore, you may configure your browser settings to cease the acceptance of Cookies or to provide a prompt for your authorization prior to a Cookie being placed by the websites you navigate.
