Cookie Management Policy

Respecting your privacy is of paramount importance to us. At Quarkslab, we implement the core principles reflected in our Data Protection Policy https://www.quarkslab.com/privacy-policy/:

  • We do not ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes.
  • We process your personal information with the utmost regard for security and your privacy.

This Cookie Policy is intended to inform you about the origin and use of browsing information collected during your visit to our websites.

Quarkslab provides tools to allow you to express your choices regarding cookies.

  • What is a cookie?

A “cookie” is a small text file that may be placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone (hereinafter the “Device”) when you visit a website or mobile application, through your web browser. A cookie file enables its issuer to identify the Device in which it is stored, for the duration of the cookie’s validity or storage period.

Some cookies are essential for the use of Quarkslab’s Websites or for the provision of the Services offered by Quarkslab. In such cases, they are systematically placed on your Device.

Other cookies help optimize and personalize the content or features displayed on Quarkslab’s Websites. Their placement and reading on your Device depend on the choices you express on our Websites.

  • What is a “tracker”?

The term “tracker” refers to an identifier stored on your Device without the involvement of your web browser, which may be issued by the Device itself and read by a technical service provider to which the Device is connected, without that identifier having been placed on the Device by the provider.In practice, the term “tracker” most often refers to a Device identifier managed by its operating system. This is particularly the case for the identifier of your mobile device, the accessibility or readability of which may be managed differently by the operating system concerned, depending on whether you are using an Android device (the identifier is often called an “Android ID” or “AAID”), an iOS device (the identifier is often known as the “IDFA” or “ID for Advertisers”), or another operating system.

The term “tracker” may also refer to the identifier of a mobile application installed on your Device, which can be read by the publisher of that mobile application or by one of its service providers. This is particularly the case for the “SDK” (“Software Development Kit”) identifier, which enables information flows to be established between the mobile application installed on your Device and the application’s publisher (or its service providers) in order to ensure the functioning of the various software components of the application.

You have the following rights:

  • The right to accessthe personal data we hold about you.
  • The right to rectifyyour personal data if you find that it is inaccurate or incomplete.

  • The right to receive your data and transfer it to a third partyin a format determined by our technical capabilities (right to data portability).
  • The right to restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions in accordance with Article 18 of the GDPR (for example, where you contest the accuracy of your personal data). Exercising this right does not result in the deletion of your data.
  • The right to object to the processing of your personal data when such processing is based on our legitimate interests. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. We have a duty to investigate the matter within a reasonable timeframe and to take any measures deemed necessary. Except for purposes for which we are certain we may lawfully continue processing your personal data, we will temporarily cease processing your personal data in accordance with your objection until we have completed our assessment. If we determine that your objection is justified under your rights, we will permanently stop using your data for those purposes.

The rights described above do not apply in all situations. In accordance with applicable regulations, the way in which we process your personal data and the legal basis on which we rely for such processing may affect the extent to which these rights apply.

Please note that under the GDPR, we are permitted to extend the one-month response period by an additional two months where we consider your request to be complex or numerous.
