Last updated: 9 March 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, how we use them on https://quiztorndhak.world (the "website"), and how you can control your preferences. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data obtained through cookies and other means.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the website owner. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by a different domain).

Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and similar identifiers that store or access information on your device. In this policy, we use "cookies" to refer to cookies and these similar technologies where relevant.

Cookies can be classified by:

• Duration: session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
• Purpose: strictly necessary, functional, analytics/performance, or marketing.

3. Legal basis for use of cookies

Under the GDPR and ePrivacy rules applicable in the EEA and UK:

• Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are essential for the operation of the website (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie preferences).
• Analytics, functional, and marketing cookies require your consent before they are set, unless a limited exception applies. We obtain your consent via our cookie consent banner and settings.

Under Australian law, we use cookies in line with our Privacy Policy and your choices. Where we use cookies that collect personal information, we handle that information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and our Privacy Policy.

4. Categories of cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and remembering your cookie consent choices. You cannot opt out of these cookies without affecting how the site works.

• Purpose: To store your cookie consent preferences (e.g. accept all, reject, or custom settings) so we do not show the banner again unnecessarily and so we respect your choices.
• Duration: Up to 12 months or as long as needed to record your preference.
• Data stored: A simple identifier indicating which categories you have accepted or rejected (e.g. necessary, analytics, marketing).
• Legal basis: Legitimate interest (GDPR) / necessary for our functions (Australia).

4.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (e.g. which pages are viewed, how long users stay, and how they navigate). This information is used to improve our website and user experience. We use analytics only if you have given your consent via our cookie banner or cookie settings.

• Purpose: To analyse traffic, measure effectiveness of content, and improve site performance.
• Duration: Typically up to 24 months, depending on the specific cookie.
• Data collected: May include IP address (possibly anonymised), browser type, device type, pages visited, time on site, and referral source.
• Legal basis: Your consent (GDPR) / your consent or legitimate interest where permitted (Australia).

4.3 Marketing cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to measure the effectiveness of campaigns, or to build profiles for marketing purposes. We use marketing cookies only if you have given your consent.

• Purpose: To show you relevant offers and to measure and improve advertising.
• Duration: Varies; often up to 12–24 months.
• Data collected: May include browsing behaviour, device identifiers, and interaction with ads.
• Legal basis: Your consent (GDPR and applicable advertising rules).

5. Retention of cookie data

Cookie data is retained only for the periods set out above for each category. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are automatically removed when they expire, or you can delete them manually via your browser settings. Data derived from cookies that we store on our servers (e.g. analytics reports) is retained in accordance with our Privacy Policy (typically up to 24 months unless a longer period is required by law).

6. How to control and delete cookies

You can control cookies in the following ways:

• Cookie banner and settings: When you first visit our website, you can choose "Accept all", "Reject" (non-essential cookies), or "Cookie settings" to enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies remain enabled at all times.
• Change your mind: You can return to the cookie settings at any time (e.g. via a link in the footer or by clearing cookies and revisiting the site to see the banner again).
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. You can usually find these options under "Settings", "Privacy", or "Options". Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our and other websites.

For more information on managing cookies in your browser, see the help section of your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

7. Data security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data collected via cookies, in line with our Privacy Policy. This includes using HTTPS, restricting access to data, and ensuring that any third parties that process cookie data are bound by appropriate safeguards.

8. Your rights

Where cookie data amounts to personal data, you have the rights described in our Privacy Policy (e.g. access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, object, withdraw consent, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority). To exercise these rights or to change your cookie preferences, contact us using the details in section 1.

9. Third-party cookies

If we use third-party services that set cookies (e.g. analytics or advertising partners), those third parties will have their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review their policies. We only allow such cookies where we have a contract in place and, where required, your consent.

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Where changes are material, we may notify you via the website or by email where appropriate.
