Cookies Policy
Last Updated: May 8, 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how the SwiftQuantum websites (swiftquantum.tech, quantumnative-edu.swiftquantum.tech, and legal.swiftquantum.tech) use cookies and similar local-storage technologies. Native iOS / macOS / visionOS apps in the SwiftQuantum ecosystem do not use web cookies; they use platform keychain and on-device storage governed by the Privacy Policy.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser to
remember information between visits. "Similar technologies" include
localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB.
Our cookie posture
Our default posture is conservative: we use only what is necessary for site function and language preference. We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not enable analytics cookies by default.
Categories we use
1. Strictly Necessary (always on)
These cannot be disabled because the site cannot function without them.
| Cookie / Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
sq_token |
Authentication session for logged-in users | Session or up to 14 days if "remember me" |
sq-language |
Your language preference (en, ko, ja, zh, de, fr, es) | 1 year |
sq-consent |
Records your cookie-preference selection | 6 months |
2. Functional (opt-in)
Off by default. You can enable these in the cookie banner if you wish.
| Cookie / Key | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
sq-theme |
Light / dark mode override | 1 year |
sq-region |
Display preferences for your jurisdiction | 1 year |
3. Analytics (opt-in)
Off by default. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization and Vercel Analytics only if you opt in via the consent banner.
| Provider | Purpose | If you opt in |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics | _ga, _gid cookies set with IP anonymization |
| Vercel Analytics | Page-view aggregation | first-party, no cross-site identifiers |
We do not use:
- advertising cookies of any kind;
- cross-site tracking pixels (Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, etc.);
- session-replay tools that record keystrokes or mouse movements;
- fingerprinting libraries.
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time:
- Click the "Cookie Preferences" link in the page footer.
- Toggle Functional or Analytics categories on / off.
- Save — the page reloads with your selection.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent you from staying signed in.
"Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal sent by browsers that support it: when GPC is detected, analytics cookies are not set even if you previously opted in. We treat the legacy "Do Not Track" header as advisory and apply the same effect.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when we add, remove, or change a cookie. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.
