Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2025

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide site operators with information about how the site is used.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar storage technologies (including localStorage) for the following purposes:

2.1 Strictly Necessary

These are required for the website to function. They include:

• qm_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie consent choice (accept/decline). Expires after 12 months.
• qm_theme — Stores your dark/light mode preference. Persists locally.

You cannot opt out of strictly necessary storage without affecting core site functionality.

2.2 Functional (localStorage)

These store data to enhance your experience:

• qm_quiz_history_* — Stores your quiz attempt history locally in your browser so you can track your progress. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

2.3 Analytics (Optional — Consent Required)

If you accept cookies, we may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the platform. This data is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify individual users. You can decline these cookies via our consent banner without affecting platform functionality.

3. Cookies We Do Not Use

We do not use:

• Advertising or retargeting cookies
• Social media tracking pixels
• Cross-site tracking cookies
• Cookies that collect sensitive personal information

4. Third-Party Services

Our platform uses the following third-party resources which may set their own cookies:

• Google Fonts — Used for typography. Google may log requests to their font servers. See Google Privacy Policy.
• Font Awesome CDN — Used for icons. Requests are logged by the CDN provider.
• Google Maps Embed — Used on our contact page. Google may set cookies when the map loads. See Google's privacy policy for details.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party services if you have concerns.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookies through several methods:

• Our cookie banner: When you first visit, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can revisit this choice by clearing your browser's localStorage for our domain.
• Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menus. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites.
• Browser extensions: Tools like Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, or browser-specific privacy modes can block tracking technologies.

To clear locally stored quiz data, go to your browser's developer tools, navigate to Application → Local Storage → quizmaker-ai.com, and delete the relevant keys.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our platform respects this signal and does not engage in cross-site behavioral tracking regardless of DNT status.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change how we use cookies. Updates will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
