This Cookie Policy explains how Qumashawanaqsha (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.qumashawanaqsha.com/. 

It describes what cookies are, which types we use, why we use them, your choices, and how to manage or withdraw consent.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit websites. 

They store basic information (for example a unique identifier) and help the website remember preferences, analyze site usage, and deliver targeted content or advertising. Some cookies are placed by us (first-party) and others by third parties (third-party).

Why we use cookies

  • Make the website work correctly (essential/strictly necessary cookies).
  • Remember your preferences (language, currency, display settings).
  • Analyze how the site is used so we can improve content and performance (analytics).
  • Deliver relevant advertising and measure ad performance (marketing/advertising). 

Categories of cookies we may use

  • Essential / Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the site to operate (e.g., shopping cart, security). These do not require consent in many jurisdictions. 
  • Preferences / Functionality cookies: Remember choices you make to provide a more personal experience.
  • Analytics / Performance cookies: Collect aggregated usage data to help us understand how the website is used.
  • Marketing / Advertising cookies: Used to show relevant ads (may be third-party).

Consent and legal basis

  • For non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing, etc.) we will ask for your consent before those cookies are set, where required by law. Prior, informed consent is required for non-essential cookies under EU ePrivacy/GDPR guidance and UK/European practice. 
  • For essential cookies, or where another lawful basis applies (e.g., legitimate interest), cookies may be set without consent but we will explain why they are necessary. 

Your rights and choices

  • Change or withdraw consent: You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time via our cookie banner/settings on the site. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdraw consent.
  • Browser controls: Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies via settings (see your browser’s Help for instructions). Deleting or blocking cookies may affect site functionality.
  • If you are a California resident: California law (CCPA/CPRA) gives specific rights about access, deletion, and opt-out of sale/sharing of personal information. If you are in California, you may have additional choices such as submitting a CCPA request. Visit the California Attorney General resources for details. 

Third-party cookies

Some services we use (analytics providers, advertising networks, social media features) may set cookies through our site. We do not control those third parties’ cookies; please consult their privacy policies for more information. We aim to list all third-party cookies in our cookie list on the site. 

How long we keep cookie data

Retention varies by cookie. Some expire at the end of your session (when you close your browser), others remain for a set period (e.g., 30 days, 1 year). Our cookie list shows retention for each cookie.

How we protect cookie data

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information collected via cookies. Access is limited to those who need it to provide our services.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top will show the last update. Significant changes will be posted prominently on our site.
