What are cookies?
Like most websites you visit, our website uses cookies and other similar technologies (commonly referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are text files embedded in a website that contain small amounts of information that is downloaded to your device or embedded in a website when you visit it. Cookies can then be sent back to the original website or to another website that recognizes that cookie on each subsequent visit.
We use different types of cookies on our website for different purposes as set out below. Some of these cookies are placed by us and others by third parties.
Necessary cookies – These cookies are required for the operation of our website to enable core website functions, ensure website security, and enable network management. They are sometimes referred to as “strictly necessary” or “essential” cookies. Without these cookies, a website cannot function properly. These include, for example, cookies that allow us to remember your preferences for agreeing to cookies and to balance network load.
Functional and Analytical Cookies – These cookies are either functional or analytical. They are used to improve functionality, enhance, and personalize the browsing experience and analyze website traffic and usage.
Cookies and similar technologies we use
qr-cloud.com does not set any advertising, retargeting or analytics cookies. The only technologies in use are:
- Matomo (self-hosted web analytics) – runs on our own server in Germany (
qr-cloud.com/matomo). We use it to understand which pages are visited and how the site performs. IP addresses are anonymised (last two bytes removed), no data is shared with third parties. We run Matomo in cookieless mode, so it does not set any cookies on your device at all. You can opt out below or by enabling “Do Not Track” in your browser. - Strictly necessary – the QR Cloud application at qrcodes.at sets a session cookie (
PHPSESSID) and a login cookie when you sign in. These are required for the service to work and are not used for tracking.
