Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how RIB Quantum Design uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember choices, support security, and improve the service.
We use essential cookies and storage technologies needed for the website to work. Where we use non-essential cookies, such as analytics or marketing technologies, we ask for consent before using them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website recognise your device, remember preferences, support secure sessions, or understand how the service is used.
Similar technologies can include local storage, session storage, pixels, scripts, tags, SDKs, and other technologies that store information on your device or access information from your device. UK cookie rules apply to cookies and similar storage/access technologies, not just traditional browser cookies.
Why we use cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- make the website and project flow work properly;
- remember cookie choices and basic preferences;
- support checkout, security, fraud prevention, and service reliability;
- maintain essential user journeys, such as project creation and delivery flow;
- measure performance and understand how people use the website, where consent is required;
- improve usability, design, speed, reliability, and product experience.
Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies
Always activeThese are needed for the website and service to function. They may support security, network management, cookie consent storage, checkout flow, project flow, or other essential functionality.
These cookies generally do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary to provide a service requested by the user.
Preference cookies
OptionalThese remember choices you make, such as cookie preferences, interface settings, or similar user choices. Some preference storage may be essential if it is needed to remember your privacy choices.
Analytics or performance cookies
Consent requiredThese help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are useful, and where the experience can be improved. We only use analytics or performance cookies where enabled through consent controls, unless a legal exemption clearly applies.
The ICO states that analytics cookies are not normally “strictly necessary” and generally require consent.
Marketing cookies
Disabled unless introducedWe do not use advertising or behavioural marketing cookies by default. If we introduce marketing cookies in the future, we will identify them clearly and ask for consent where required.
Third-party service cookies
Depends on purposeSome technologies may be provided by trusted third-party services that support payments, security, analytics, hosting, logging, or other website functions. Whether consent is required depends on what the technology does and whether it is strictly necessary.
Consent
Where cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, we ask for your consent before using them.
Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and actively indicated. Non-essential cookies should not be pre-enabled before
You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings controls available on the website.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or set preferences for certain websites.
Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works. For example, some essential cookies or storage technologies may be needed for security, checkout, cookie choices, project flow, or service delivery.
Third-party technologies
We may use third-party services to support the website and digital service. These may include payment services, hosting and storage providers, security tools, analytics tools, logging services, or email delivery systems.
Third-party technologies may set or access cookies or similar storage where needed for their service. We aim to use such technologies in a privacy-conscious way and apply consent controls where required.
Cookies and personal data
Some cookies and similar technologies may involve personal data, such as device identifiers, IP address, usage data, consent records, or security logs.
Where cookie data is personal data, our Privacy Policy also applies. It explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and share personal data.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page with the revised “Last updated” date.
If our use of cookies or similar technologies changes materially, we may update our cookie banner or ask for fresh consent where required.
