1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a user visits a website or uses an online service.
They help remember preferences, keep sessions active, improve performance, measure usage, and support advertising or campaign measurement.
2. How Qaribo Uses Cookies
Qaribo uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functioning, remember selected language or consent choices, maintain account sessions, improve security, measure traffic, and support advertising features when enabled.
Some cookies are set directly by Qaribo and others may be set by service providers acting on Qaribo's behalf.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are required for core site functions such as login, security, language persistence, session continuity, and basic page behavior.
These cookies cannot be disabled through the site's consent controls because the service may not work properly without them.
4. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help Qaribo understand how visitors use the site, which pages are viewed, how features perform, and where technical improvements are needed.
These cookies are optional and are only used when a user has granted consent where required by applicable law.
5. Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies may be used to support ad delivery, campaign measurement, frequency control, and related marketing functions.
These cookies are optional and are only used when a user has granted consent where required by applicable law.
6. Cookie Duration
Some cookies are session cookies that expire when the browser closes. Others are persistent cookies that remain for a defined period or until deleted.
6.1 List of cookies
Essential (Qaribo, always on): PHPSESSID and qb_sess_* (session, country, language, account; session to 30 days), qb_rm (remembered sign-in, if requested), qb_chat_session (messaging), qb_lang_pref (language), qb_cookie_consent (your cookie choices, 6 months), qb_sess_gdpr (reminder of that choice, 30 days), qb_consent_id (pseudonymous id for the record of your choice, 6 months).

Advertising (Google AdSense, Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC, only with your consent): __gads, __gpi, __eoi and related cookies — up to 13 months.
Your choices are kept for 6 months, after which you are asked again. A refusal is kept as long as an acceptance. You can withdraw consent at any time via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of the page: Google cookies already set are then deleted and the page reloads without them. Each choice is recorded (date, choice, pseudonymous id, truncated IP address) so your consent can be proven; this record is kept for 5 years.
7. Managing Preferences
Users can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize preferences through Qaribo's cookie banner and privacy controls.
Browser settings may also allow users to block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect site functionality.
8. Third-Party Technologies
Some analytics, advertising, video, payment, or embedded service providers may place cookies or similar identifiers when their tools are used on Qaribo.
9. Updates to This Policy
Qaribo may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes.
When material changes are made, Qaribo will revise the update date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
