What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit, such as your preferred settings or whether you have visited before. Cookies make your experience more convenient and help website operators understand how their sites are being used.
Not all cookies are the same. Some are essential for a website to function. Others collect information to help improve the site or to support advertising. This policy explains which cookies SnapQuiz uses and for what purpose.
How We Use Cookies
SnapQuiz uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- Ensure the website functions correctly for all visitors
- Remember your cookie consent preference
- Collect anonymised analytics data to understand site usage and improve performance
- Enable embedded third-party content to function (such as maps)
We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles, track your activity across other websites, or identify you personally from your browsing behaviour.
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. Without them, certain features of the website would not work correctly. They include cookies that enable core navigation and security features.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|
| sq_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference (stored in localStorage) | Until browser data is cleared |
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this information to improve the structure and content of the website.
| Cookie/Tool | Purpose | Duration |
|---|
| Analytics session data | Anonymous aggregated usage statistics (pages visited, session duration) | Session / up to 2 years |
Analytics data is collected in anonymised, aggregated form. We do not associate analytics data with individual identities.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, SnapQuiz uses your browser's localStorage to store certain preferences on your device. LocalStorage works similarly to cookies but can hold more data and does not expire unless cleared manually.
We currently use localStorage for:
- sq_cookie_consent — Records whether you have accepted or declined our cookie notice. This allows us to avoid showing the banner on every page visit.
Local storage data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Third-Party Cookies
Some pages on SnapQuiz include content from third parties, which may set their own cookies. These include:
- Google Maps — Our Contact page includes an embedded Google Map. Google may set cookies as part of this embed. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details on their cookie use.
- Google Fonts — We use Google Fonts to load web typography. This may result in a request to Google's servers, which is subject to Google's privacy policy.
We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for how third parties collect or use information. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services for more information.
Managing Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings. The exact steps vary by browser — you can usually find these options in "Settings," "Privacy," or "Security" menus. Common browsers include:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on SnapQuiz and other websites you visit.
Clearing Local Storage
To clear localStorage data (including your stored cookie consent preference), you can use your browser's developer tools or clear all site data via your browser's privacy settings. After clearing, the cookie consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
Your Consent
When you first visit SnapQuiz, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom of the screen. By clicking "Accept," you consent to our use of non-essential cookies (such as analytics) in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
If you click "Decline," we will use only strictly necessary cookies required for the website to function. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage and revisiting the site.
Strictly necessary cookies are placed regardless of consent, as they are essential to operating the website.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
