Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by other companies whose services we use). They can also be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Types of Cookies We Use

4. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies:
- Local Storage: Used to store user preferences and temporary data in your browser. Similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data.
- Pixel Tags / Web Beacons: Tiny transparent images used to track email opens and website interactions.
5. QR Code Scan Tracking
When someone scans a dynamic QR code created through our Service, we collect scan analytics (device type, browser, approximate location, timestamp). This tracking is performed server-side through our redirect system and does not rely on cookies being set on the scanning device.
For more information about how scan data is processed, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
6. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date.
