Cookie Policy
Understanding how we use tracking technologies to improve your experience on quoryplex.com
We're pretty straightforward about this stuff. Like most websites these days, quoryplex.com uses cookies and similar technologies. But we're not doing anything sneaky—just the usual technical bits that help the site work properly and give you a better experience.
This policy explains what we use, why we use it, and how you can adjust things if you want to. No legal jargon where we can avoid it.
Last updated: March 2025
What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit a website. Think of them as tiny sticky notes that help websites remember things about your visit—like your preferences or the fact that you've already logged in.
They're not programs, they can't carry viruses, and they can't access other files on your computer. They just sit there, quietly doing their job until they expire or you delete them.
Session vs. Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are the temporary ones. They disappear when you close your browser—like they were never there. Persistent cookies stick around for a set period, which could be days, months, or even longer depending on what they're for.
We use both types. Session cookies help with basic functionality during your visit. Persistent ones remember your settings so you don't have to adjust things every single time you come back.
How We Use These Technologies
We categorize our cookies into four main groups. Each serves a different purpose, and understanding them helps you make informed decisions about what you're comfortable with.
1Essential Cookies
These are non-negotiable. They enable core functionality like secure logins, form submissions, and basic navigation. Without them, parts of the site simply won't work.
2Functional Cookies
These remember your choices—language preferences, region settings, customization options. They make your experience smoother and more personalized each time you visit.
3Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how people interact with our site. Which pages are most visited? Where do people spend time? This data helps us improve the user experience.
4Marketing Cookies
These track your activity to deliver relevant content and measure campaign effectiveness. They help us understand which messages resonate with different audiences.
Specific Technologies We Use
Beyond standard cookies, we also use a few other tracking methods that serve similar purposes:
- Web beacons (also called pixel tags) that track page views and email opens
- Local storage for keeping larger amounts of data on your device
- Analytics scripts that collect information about site usage patterns
- Session identifiers that maintain your logged-in state as you move through the site
All of these work together to create a functional, personalized experience. And yes, you have control over most of them—more on that in a moment.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You're in control here. Most browsers let you manage or block cookies through their settings. Just keep in mind that blocking certain cookies might affect how the site functions for you.
Each browser handles this a bit differently, but they all give you options. Here's where to look:
Data Retention and Your Rights
Different cookies have different lifespans. Essential session cookies might last just minutes. Analytics cookies could stick around for a couple of years. We don't keep this data longer than necessary for its intended purpose.
Under Australian privacy laws, you have rights regarding your data. You can request to see what information we've collected, ask us to delete it, or opt out of certain types of tracking. We take these requests seriously and respond promptly.
Third-Party Services
Some cookies on our site come from third-party services we use—analytics platforms, content delivery networks, that sort of thing. These companies have their own privacy policies, and we recommend checking those out if you're curious about how they handle data.
We only work with reputable providers who meet our standards for data protection and user privacy. But ultimately, their practices are governed by their own policies.
Updates to This Policy
Technology changes. Our site evolves. When we make significant changes to how we use cookies, we'll update this policy and let you know. The "last updated" date at the top tells you when the most recent revision happened.
We suggest checking back occasionally, especially if you're particular about these things. We won't make major changes without being transparent about them.
Why This Matters for Venture Building
In our line of work—supporting founders and building ventures—trust is everything. Being upfront about data practices is part of that trust. We collect information to improve our services, yes, but we do it responsibly.
Understanding user behavior helps us create better resources, more relevant content, and more effective programs. When we see which topics generate the most interest, we know where to focus our efforts. When we notice confusing navigation patterns, we redesign.
Your data—even in its anonymous, aggregated form—helps us serve the venture building community better. And we appreciate your willingness to let us use these technologies to do that.
