Cookie policy

Last updated: 16 January 2026

1. Summary

The website www.quanloop.eu (the “Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, and analyse how visitors use our services. In accordance with the Directive 2002/58/EC (“ePrivacy Directive”) and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), we operate on the basis of prior informed consent for all non-essential cookies. This means that cookies other than those strictly necessary for the Site to function will not be placed on your device unless you have given your explicit consent.

You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by individual category at any time by clicking “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer of the Site.

2. Who We Are

This Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) applies to the Site operated by QUANLOOP EUROPE LIMITED, a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus with Registration No. ΗΕ 458279, having its registered office at 131 Gladstonos Street, Kermia Court, 1st Floor, 3032 Limassol, Cyprus (“Quanloop”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

3. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to the site operator. They allow websites to recognise your device, remember your actions and preferences over time, and deliver a better user experience.

We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually). We also use first-party cookies (set directly by us) and third-party cookies (set by our service providers, such as analytics platforms).

4. Who Sets Cookies on This Site?

First-party cookies are set directly by the quanloop.eu domain. These include cookies that record your consent preferences and support the basic operation of the Site.

Third-party cookies are set by external service providers acting on our behalf. We use Google Analytics to analyse visitor behaviour and may use marketing automation or campaign tracking tools to measure engagement. Third-party cookies are blocked by default and are subject to the consent requirements described in this Policy.

5. Our Approach to Consent

We ensure transparency and respect for your privacy rights. Under the applicable legal framework, certain cookies require your prior consent before they may be used.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because they are essential for the Site to function and for us to comply with legal obligations. These cookies are active by default and cannot be disabled without impairing the functionality of the Site.

All other categories of cookies (Preferences, Analytics, and Marketing/Engagement) are disabled by default for visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom. When you first visit the Site, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or set your preferences on a category-by-category basis.

You may change your preferences at any time by clicking “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer of any page on the Site. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place on the basis of your consent before it was withdrawn.

6. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify cookies into the following categories in accordance with the guidance issued by data protection authorities:

Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are essential for the Site to operate and for us to deliver the services you request. Strictly necessary cookies enable core functionality such as security, session management, and accessibility features. They also include cookies that record your cookie consent choices. Because these cookies are essential, they do not require your consent and are active at all times. They do not collect or store personally identifiable information beyond what is required for the Site to function.

Preference Cookies (Optional)

Preference cookies enable the Site to remember information that changes the way the Site behaves or looks, such as your preferred language, region, or accessibility settings. We do not use preference cookies. If we introduce preference cookies in future (for example, to support accessibility features), we will update this Policy and obtain your consent before placing such cookies on your device.

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information on an aggregated and anonymised basis. We use Google Analytics to measure site performance, identify popular content, and improve the user experience. Google Analytics is configured in accordance with data protection principles, including IP address masking and restricted data retention. Analytics cookies are placed on your device only if you consent to the “Analytics” category.

Marketing and Engagement Cookies (Optional)

Marketing and engagement cookies are used to track visitors across our Site for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of onsite campaigns and attributing actions (such as subscribing to job alerts) to marketing activities. If we enable marketing automation or campaign tracking tools, these cookies will allow us to understand how visitors engage with our content and campaigns. Marketing cookies are disabled until you provide your explicit consent.

Examples of cookies (cookie names are subject to change):

  • Google Analytics: _ga, _ga_*, _gid.
  • Marketing automation (if enabled): Cookies storing campaign tracking, engagement data, and visitor identification.
  • Consent Management Platform: Cookies storing your consent preferences.

7. Google Analytics Configuration and Safeguards

We have implemented the following measures to ensure that our use of Google Analytics complies with data protection law and respects your privacy:

  • Consent-dependent loading: Google Analytics tracking scripts are not loaded until you provide your explicit consent to the “Analytics” category. No data is sent to Google until consent is granted.
  • Data minimisation and anonymisation: We have enabled IP address anonymisation (masking), which ensures that your full IP address is not recorded. We do not collect precise geolocation data. We do not use User-ID tracking unless it is strictly necessary for the purpose disclosed to you, and we do not permit Google to use the data for advertising personalisation or remarketing purposes.
  • Limited data retention: Event-level and user-level data in Google Analytics is retained for a maximum of 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Aggregated reports may be retained indefinitely but do not contain any personally identifiable information.
  • Your right to opt out: You may withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time by clicking “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer and deselecting the “Analytics” category. This will prevent any further data from being sent to Google Analytics.

8. Marketing Automation (If Enabled)

If we enable marketing automation or campaign tracking functionality on the Site, cookies and tracking pixels associated with such tools will be blocked by default until you provide your consent to the “Marketing/Engagement” category.

Where deployed, we configure such tools in accordance with the following principles:

  • No automatic contact tracking: We do not automatically create or update contact records based on browsing activity unless you have provided your consent.
  • Respect for consent signals: Marketing automation tools are integrated with our Consent Management Platform and respect the preferences you set via the cookie banner.
  • No cross-context tracking: We do not link onsite browsing behaviour with your identity (for example, your email address) unless you have provided explicit consent for such tracking.
  • Double opt-in for communications: Any job-alert or newsletter subscriptions managed through marketing automation tools require a confirmed double opt-in to ensure that you have knowingly consented to receive communications.

9. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over which cookies are placed on your device. You may exercise this control in the following ways:

  • Via the cookie banner: When you first visit the Site, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or review and set your preferences by category.
  • Via the footer link: You may change your preferences at any time by clicking “Manage cookie preferences” at the bottom of any page on the Site. This will reopen the consent management interface, allowing you to enable or disable specific cookie categories.
  • Via your browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Please consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions. If you block or delete strictly necessary cookies through your browser settings, certain features of the Site will not function correctly.
  • Storage of your preferences: Your cookie preferences are stored in a strictly necessary cookie or in your browser’s local storage so that we can remember your choices on subsequent visits. If you clear your browser’s cookies or use a different browser or device, you will need to set your preferences again.

10. How Long Do Cookies Last?

The lifespan of a cookie depends on its type and purpose:

  • Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your web browser.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period (ranging from a few days to 24 months, depending on the cookie) or until you manually delete them. Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and consent choices across multiple sessions.

The specific retention period for each cookie is determined by us or by the relevant third-party provider and is designed to be proportionate to the purpose for which the cookie is used.

11. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We process data collected through cookies on the following legal bases:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are used on the basis that they are necessary for the provision of the services you have requested and for us to comply with our legal obligations, including our obligations to secure the Site and protect against fraud (GDPR Article 6(1)(b) and (c)).
  • Optional cookies: These cookies are used only with your prior informed consent, in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended). You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

12. International Data Transfers

While our own servers are located within the European Economic Area (EEA), the third-party cookies used on this Site (such as Google Analytics) may transfer your personal data (e.g., IP address, unique identifiers) to servers located in third countries, particularly the United States. To ensure your data remains protected when transferred outside the EEA, we ensure that our third-party providers rely on one of the following legal safeguards under Chapter V of the GDPR:

  • Adequacy Decisions: Transfers to the United States are currently covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, provided the recipient is certified (Google LLC is a certified participant).
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Where a provider is not covered by an adequacy decision, we require them to implement the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (pursuant to Decision (EU) 2021/914), ensuring contractual protection for your data.

For more information on international data transfers, please refer to our Job Applicant Privacy Notice.

13. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, changes in technology, or changes in applicable law. Any updates will take effect immediately upon being posted on the Site. The “Last updated” date at the top of this policy indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
