1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website operators. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies QRCodeTechy uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
