1. Introduction
That Is A Q ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to transparency regarding how we collect, use, and manage data through cookies and similar tracking technologies. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, your choices regarding them, and how to manage your preferences.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how you interact with content, and improve performance. Cookies do not typically identify you personally but may collect data about your device, browsing patterns, and preferences.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify cookies based on their function and necessity. Below is a summary of the types we deploy:
