Last updated: January 6, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how the QCU Consumers Cooperative website (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and keep it secure.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They help websites remember information about your visit (for example, keeping you logged in).
2) Cookies we use
We primarily use essential cookies that are required for security and basic operation. We do not use cookies for advertising.
| Type | Purpose | Examples (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Essential / Security | Keeps sessions working, supports login, and helps prevent attacks (e.g., CSRF protection). | PHP session cookie (name depends on server), CSRF session token (stored server-side). |
| Preferences (optional) | Stores your choices such as cookie consent preference. | Local storage key for cookie consent (if shown). |
3) Cookie consent
If we display a cookie banner, it is used to record your preference (accept/reject non-essential cookies). Essential cookies may still be used because they are required for the website to function securely.
4) How to control cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. If you disable essential cookies, parts of the website (such as login-protected areas) may not work correctly.
5) Updates to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we update it, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
