Cookie Policy
Essential account cookies, security storage, consent preferences, optional analytics, and scanner-cookie rules.
| Category | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Account session | Keeps signed-in customers authenticated and protects account access. | Essential for the requested account service. |
| CSRF and security | Protects unsafe account actions such as creating, editing, pausing, or exporting QR codes. | Essential security use. |
| Consent preference | hqr_analytics_consent remembers a user's choice for 180 days so the banner does not need to repeat every page view. |
Essential preference storage only. |
| Product analytics | Google Analytics measures visits and product journeys. Google Ads measures completed trials and first subscription payments from advertising. With consent, a Google click identifier can be stored with the account and matched to the first paid Stripe invoice; customer email is not included in that feed. | Optional. Off until the visitor accepts analytics. |
| Public QR redirects | No cookies are needed when someone scans a public QR redirect. | Must not set scanner cookies. |
How consent works
Essential cookies are limited to account access, security and saved preferences. Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion measurement stay off until the visitor accepts. Declining analytics does not change account access, checkout, QR creation, or redirects.
