Last updated: 2026-04-16
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They are widely used to make sites work efficiently, remember your preferences, measure performance, and support advertising. Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and browser storage perform comparable functions. In this Policy we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies.”
Types of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core capabilities such as page navigation, load balancing, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies because the site will not work properly without them.
Analytics
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website so that we can improve content, navigation, and performance. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify you. Analytics cookies only load after you accept them on our cookie banner.
Marketing
Marketing cookies are used to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns and to show relevant messaging on partner platforms. They are only set when you opt in through our cookie banner.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by trusted third parties that support our website. These include:
- Google Analytics 4 — measures traffic and aggregated user behaviour so that we can improve the site.
- Microsoft Clarity — provides session replays and heatmaps that help us understand how visitors interact with content.
- LinkedIn Insight Tag — measures conversions and supports retargeting on LinkedIn.
- Meta Pixel — measures conversions and supports retargeting on Facebook and Instagram.
Each of these providers operates under its own privacy policy, which you are encouraged to review. We configure these tools to respect your consent choices and to share only the minimum data necessary.
Managing Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your selection by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing the qilin_consent entry from your browser’s local storage and reloading the site, which will re-present the banner. You can also block or delete cookies directly through your browser settings; please note that doing so may affect the functionality of our and other websites.
Cookie Lifespans
Cookies are classified as either session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period. On our website, strictly necessary cookies typically persist for up to one year; analytics cookies persist for up to two years; marketing cookies typically persist between thirty days and thirteen months depending on the provider. Your stored consent record is retained for twelve months, after which we will ask for your preferences again.
