Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how Qygigoo ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with our website at qygigoo.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
By continuing to use our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Cookie Policy. Where your consent is required, you may manage your preferences at any time using the options described below.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, smartphone, or tablet — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners.
Cookies are not harmful to your device and do not contain executable code. They cannot access other files stored on your device or gather information beyond what is described in this policy.
1.1 How Cookies Work
When you visit our website, cookies are sent from our server to your browser and stored locally on your device. On subsequent visits, your browser sends those cookies back to our server, allowing us to recognise your device and recall relevant information about your previous interactions.
1.2 Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other tracking technologies that function in a similar way, including:
- Web beacons — small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that signal when content has been accessed
- Pixel tags — code snippets used to track user behaviour and measure the effectiveness of content
- Local storage — browser-based storage mechanisms that retain data across sessions without expiry
- Session storage — temporary browser storage that is cleared when a session ends
All references to "cookies" in this policy also apply to these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies we use according to their purpose and duration.
2.1 By Duration
- Session cookies — These are temporary cookies that exist only for the duration of your visit. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — These remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually. They are reactivated each time you visit our website.
2.2 By Origin
- First-party cookies — Set directly by us and only readable by our website.
- Third-party cookies — Set by external services and partners whose functionality we have integrated into our website. These third parties may have their own privacy and cookie policies.

3.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites and display advertisements that are relevant and engaging to individual users. They are also used to limit how often you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
These cookies are set by our advertising partners and may combine information collected from our website with information from other sources. We only activate these cookies with your explicit consent.

4. Third-Party Cookies and Services
Some pages on our website embed content or functionality from third-party services. These third parties may set their own cookies on your device when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies and are not responsible for the data they collect.

5.4 Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit Do Not Track (DNT) signals to websites. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our website does not alter its behaviour in response to such signals. We rely instead on the consent mechanisms described in this policy.
6. Cookies and Personal Data
Some cookies we use may collect or be linked to personal data, such as your IP address, device identifiers, or browsing behaviour. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes the legal basis for processing, your rights, and how we protect your information.
You may review our Privacy Policy on our website for full details.
7. Retention of Cookie Data
Cookie data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. Session cookies are deleted automatically at the end of each browsing session. Persistent cookies remain for the duration specified in the tables above, after which they expire automatically. You may delete cookies at any time using your browser controls as described in Section 5.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable legal requirements, or improvements to our website. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
Where changes are material, we will provide a more prominent notice, which may include a notification on our website or, where appropriate, direct communication to registered users. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies.
