Last updated: 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones QDES uses on this website, and how you can control them.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and — where permitted — understand how the site is used.

2. Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for core website functionality, such as navigation, security, and remembering cookie consent choices. They cannot be switched off in our systems.

3. Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the website (such as pages viewed and general engagement) so we can improve content and performance. Data is aggregated and is not used to personally identify you for marketing purposes.

4. Preference Cookies

Preference cookies remember choices you make on the site, such as display or form settings, to improve your experience on return visits.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some features, such as analytics or embedded content, may set cookies from third-party providers. These providers operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

6. How Users Can Control Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling non-essential cookies will not affect core website functionality but may reduce certain personalised features. Where applicable, you can also update your consent choices via the cookie banner on this site.
