COOKIES POLICY FOR quantumstellar.si

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store through your browser. It can help a site remember a choice or recognise information needed for a function. Different cookies serve different purposes, including essential website functions, saved preferences and optional services such as analytics. Their effect depends on the information stored and how it is used.

The purpose of a cookie should be understood in its context. Some storage supports a requested function, while other cookies can relate to a device, visit or person. A cookie is not automatically anonymous simply because it does not contain a visitor's name or email address.

You can use your browser settings to review, block or remove the cookies and other website data stored on your device. Blocking storage can affect functions that depend on it.

2. Cookie types and their purposes

The effect of browser storage depends on why it is used and which service handles it. Some cookies help remember a preference, such as a choice made in a consent panel. Other storage may support analytics, personalisation or marketing if those services are configured. A category in a preference panel describes a possible purpose; it does not by itself prove that a particular service is active.

Cookies can be grouped by the party that sets them, their purpose and the length of time they remain available.

2.1.       The party that sets the cookie

A cookie associated with the website you are visiting is commonly described as a first-party cookie. This distinction concerns its website context; the term is first-party cookies.

A cookie associated with a different website or embedded third-party service is commonly described as a third-party cookie. Browser settings can treat these differently from first-party cookies.

2.2.       The purpose of the cookie

The main categories shown by cookie preference tools can include the following:

-      Essential cookies: storage used for a necessary function, such as remembering the choice you make about optional cookies.

-Analytics cookies:  storage associated with measuring visits or the use of a service, where an analytics service is configured. A label in a preference panel does not identify an active provider or establish its data practices.

-      Personalisation cookies: storage used to remember optional choices or tailor an experience where a personalisation feature is available. Marketing is a separate optional category in the preference panel. The actual use of either category depends on the services that are enabled and the visitor's choices. A category description is not a claim that a provider is currently active or that a specific advertising profile is created.

2.3.       How long the cookie remains

Cookies can be session cookies (associated with a browsing session) or persistent cookies (which can remain after the session, until they expire or are removed). The period depends on the configuration of the relevant cookie.

 

3. More information and visitor choices

You can learn more about browser storage and the site's information-handling approach through these resources:

4. Website and contact information

This policy concerns the Quantum Stellar website at quantumstellar.si. Use the contact form if you have a question about a preference, a stored record or how the website handles information.

Website name: Quantum Stellar

Domain: quantumstellar.si

Scope: Website choices

Contact purpose Questions about cookie preferences, browser storage or privacy

Contact channel: The website contact form; describe the page and the choice involved

Privacy: Ask about information relating to your visit  

Before sending: Leave out credentials and sensitive records

The role of any hosting or connected service depends on the actual operating arrangements. A provider name should not be inferred from the appearance of a category alone.

5. Purposes of the preference controls

The website uses a consent preference tool to record the choices you make. Its panel distinguishes essential storage from optional categories. The relevant purposes should be understood separately:

(i) Essential: remembering your cookie preference.

(ii) Optional: categories for analytics, personalisation or marketing, if a corresponding service is enabled.

The consent cookies described below store the preference itself. Optional categories describe controls and do not represent an inventory of active third-party trackers. For a question about a particular provider or record, use the contact form and identify what you observed.

Website requests can also involve technical information such as an IP address, browser details and a requested resource. These records are distinct from cookies and depend on the hosting configuration. Removing a cookie does not necessarily remove a record already held by a server. The Privacy Policy explains how to ask about personal information, purposes, recipients and retention. Do not assume that every technical record is anonymous or that browser controls cover every form of processing.

6. Essential storage and optional choices

The consent tool is configured for an opt-in approach to optional categories. Essential preference storage records the choice you make. The description of a cookie as essential should relate to its actual function, rather than being used as a general label for every service.

Where an optional use requires consent, it should follow your specific choice. You can review or change available choices through the preference controls and manage stored information through your browser.  

7. Information and recipients

The Privacy Policy describes this local preview's saved contact records and the separation between submissions and browser preferences. Please read the Privacy Policy for more detail 

8. Consent storage and optional categories

The following information describes the consent preference storage identified in the website's current configuration. The two cookies record the choice and its update. Browser settings can remove them before their configured expiry.

8.1.       Consent preference cookies

These first-party cookies are associated with the site and are used by the consent preference tool to remember a visitor's selections.

The consent tool uses the following preference records:

Name

Tool

Purpose

Expiry

Function

fs-cc

fs-cc-updated

Website consent manager

Essential

180 days

Records cookie choices and when they were updated; removal can reset the saved preference.

 

8.2.       Optional service categories

These optional categories appear in the preference panel. Their presence does not establish that a named analytics or marketing provider is active, or identify any provider's specific cookies.

The entries below describe categories, rather than active third-party trackers:

Category

Provider

Purpose

Storage

Meaning

No provider specified

Analytics

If enabled

A control for optional measurement services.

Personalisation

No provider specified

Preferences

If enabled

A control for optional services that remember choices or tailor content. Marketing has a separate control in the same panel. The existence of these controls does not mean that either category currently sends information to a third party.

 

9. Making a cookie choice

Use the consent banner or preference panel to decide which optional categories to allow. The tool distinguishes these from essential preference storage. Your choice should relate to the services actually enabled, and a general policy statement is not a substitute for that choice.

You can change an available preference later through the site's controls. Browser settings also let you remove or block stored information. A change affects future use according to the control involved; it does not automatically erase information that a service may already have received. Ask about a specific record if you need clarification.

Removing saved preferences can make the consent panel appear again. Blocking storage can affect a feature that depends on it, even when general website pages remain available.

10. Changing or withdrawing a choice

You can manage website choices through the preference panel and manage stored cookies through your browser. These are related controls, but they do not perform exactly the same action.

To remove information already stored in your browser, use its privacy or site-data settings. The official browser guidance below explains the available options. Menu names can vary with browser version and device:

CONTROL

GUIDANCE

Cookie settings

Read cookie guidance

Site data

Read storage guidance

Privacy controls

Stored preferences

Read preference guidance

To change an optional category on this site, reopen the preference panel and use the available controls. If a choice does not appear to work as expected, report the page and browser through the contact form.

11. Expiry and retention

The consent preference tool's current default expiry is 180 days. Browser settings, manual removal or a later preference update can affect how long a particular record remains on your device.

Cookie expiry is different from the retention of information already received by a server or service. Ask about the relevant record and purpose if you need to understand a specific retention period.  

12. Questions about personal information

Depending on the law that applies and the circumstances, your rights concerning personal information can include:

(i) Information and access.

(ii) Correction of inaccurate details.

(iii) Deletion where the conditions apply.

(iv) Objection to a particular use.

(v) A portable copy of eligible information.

(vi) Restriction of use in relevant circumstances.

The Privacy Policy provides further guidance and explains how to send a request. Rights can have conditions and exceptions depending on the information involved.  

13. Practical points to remember

- Review this policy when you need to understand a choice or stored record. Website services and browser controls can change over time.

- External websites have their own notices. Read the destination's information before using its services or accepting its cookies.

- Your browser provides controls to inspect, block or remove cookies and other site data. A website preference panel and a browser setting may affect different parts of the experience. Check the relevant browser guidance before removing cookies if you want to understand which saved choices may be lost.

- A preference tool may use cookies to remember that you rejected optional categories. Removing that record can cause the tool to ask for your choice again on a future visit.

- For wider information about the handling of inquiries, read the Privacy Policy and contact guidance

Cookie information for the Quantum Stellar website

‍

1. Understanding browser storage

Browser storage helps a website remember information between requests or visits. A cookie can record a preference, support a requested function or serve an optional service. Its significance depends on the information it contains and how it is used. The fact that a record is small or does not include a name does not make it automatically anonymous.

A cookie is a data record rather than an application, but its privacy implications still depend on context. Different services can use similar mechanisms for very different purposes. Read the purpose and available choices before deciding whether to allow an optional category.

Your browser can review, remove or block site data. These settings may reset saved preferences or affect functions that rely on storage.

2. Purpose of the website controls

The Quantum Stellar preference panel lets a visitor distinguish essential storage from optional categories. The current consent records help the panel remember a selection and when it was updated. The existence of an analytics, marketing or personalisation label does not identify an active provider.

Website delivery can also involve technical information outside cookies, such as IP addresses and request records. The handling of those records depends on the hosting and service configuration. Browser cookie controls do not necessarily remove server-side records. For a question about personal information or a particular record associated with your visit, use the contact form and identify the interaction concerned.

3. Website scope and contact

This policy relates to quantumstellar.si and the cookie preference controls presented under the Quantum Stellar name. Questions about the website or an observed storage record can be raised through the contact form.

A connected third-party service, if introduced, can have its own privacy arrangements. Any such arrangement needs to be described accurately in relation to the actual service and data flow.

4. How to distinguish cookie types

Classify a cookie by its actual function and context. Essential storage supports a necessary requested function, such as retaining a cookie choice. Optional categories can involve analytics, personalisation or marketing when corresponding services are enabled. An essential label should not be applied merely because a website operator finds the information useful.

The following distinctions help explain the controls without implying that every category or service is active on the website.

4.1. First-party and third-party context

First-party cookies are associated with the website being visited. That description concerns the cookie's context and does not, on its own, identify every organisation that may handle information.

Third-party cookies are associated with another website or service. Browsers can apply different restrictions to these records, and a linked website can have separate choices and notices.

4.2. Purpose and optional categories

The preference controls on quantumstellar.si distinguish these purposes:

- Essential storage: the consent records used to remember the visitor's choice and its update.

- Optional categories: analytics, personalisation and marketing controls, whose presence does not confirm an active provider or particular tracker.

4.3. Session and persistent storage

Session cookies relate to a browsing session. Persistent cookies can remain after the session until their configured expiry or earlier removal. Browser settings and changes to a preference can affect the actual lifetime. A cookie's expiry is different from the retention of information a service has already received.

5. Consent records and category examples

The current website configuration identifies the consent records below. The optional entry describes a category in the panel and is not a claim that an analytics provider or tracker is active.

5.1. Preference storage

The consent tool saves the visitor's choice in site-associated records so that the selection can be recalled on a later visit.

Consent record: 1

- Cookie name: fs-cc

- Tool: Website consent manager

- Purpose: Essential

- Configured expiry: 180 days

- Function: Records the visitor's selection for the website's cookie categories.

Consent record: 2

- Cookie name: fs-cc-updated

- Tool: Website consent manager

- Purpose: Essential

- Configured expiry: 180 days

- Function: Records when the stored preference was updated.

Optional category

- Category name: Analytics

- Provider: No provider specified

- Purpose: Optional measurement

- Storage: Only if enabled

- Meaning: The panel provides a choice for analytics services if configured. This category description does not identify an active tracker, provider, retention period or third-party data transfer.

For an explanation of cookies and browser controls, see the following resource: Browser guide to cookies

5.2. Third-party services

Third-party services:  an embedded or linked service can have its own operator and information-handling arrangements. A reference to a service is not a complete description of its cookies, recipients or retention.

No third-party provider is identified by the optional category descriptions on this page.

5.3. Why a preference record is useful

It lets the consent tool remember a choice, including rejection of optional categories, so that the same question need not appear on every visit.

6. Consent and visitor controls

Use the banner or preference panel to make a choice about optional categories. The tool is configured for opt-in use of those categories and keeps essential preference storage separate.

The purpose of the panel is to express a visitor's selection, not to establish that every displayed category has a corresponding service. A specific service should be described according to its actual configuration.

You can change an available choice later. Your browser also lets you block or remove site data. Removing a cookie may reset a preference, while withdrawing a choice can affect future activity without deleting information already received by a service. Ask about a particular record if the effect of a change is unclear.

To remove stored cookies, use the privacy or site-data settings in your browser. To review the website's optional categories, reopen the preference panel and use its available controls.

Review this policy when services or choices change, and ask through the contact form if a description does not match what you observe.

6.1. Website contact

For questions about Quantum Stellar's website choices, use the contact form.

6.2. Purpose of the records

The consent records save the preference and its update. Optional categories describe possible purposes that depend on the services enabled, rather than proving that a provider is active.

6.3. Essential and optional use

Essential preference storage supports the consent choice itself. The classification should reflect the function, not a blanket claim that all cookies are necessary.

Optional use should follow the relevant choice where consent is required. Available preferences can be reviewed and changed.

6.4. Recipients and external services

In this local preview, distinguish the browser's stored choices from a contact record saved by the local server. The preference category labels do not identify a transfer to an external recipient. Consider separately:

- Consent records stored in the browser for this local website.

- Submitted contact fields saved on this computer by the local server.

- A separate website reached through an external link, whose operator may use its own storage and information-handling arrangements. Review that destination's notice before using its services.

6.5. Expiry and other retention

The current consent tool default is 180 days, subject to earlier removal or browser behaviour. That duration concerns the preference cookies and is not a universal retention period for every website record. Information held by a server or another service may have a different purpose and retention arrangement, which should be explained for the relevant processing.

7. Personal information requests

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information associated with a visit. The Privacy Policy explains the types of request and how to raise one through the contact form.  

8. Questions about cookies or choices

For a question about this policy or an observed storage record, use the website contact form

Include the page, browser and choice involved, where helpful. Do not send credentials or sensitive records. The Privacy Policy provides wider information about inquiries and personal data.

9. Additional guidance

- External websites are governed by their own notices and controls. A link from this site does not make a third party's practices identical to Quantum Stellar's or establish an endorsement.

- Browser controls and website preferences can have different effects. Removing stored cookies can reset a choice, while a website control may govern future use of a category. Consult the official browser guidance if you need to understand the data being removed.

- A consent tool can store the fact that you rejected optional cookies. Removing that essential preference record may cause the question to appear again.

- For information about inquiries and personal data, read the Privacy Policy.
