This Cookies Policy explains how Quantum Universum (“we”, “us”, or “our”)—a media platform operated by Vernewell Group—uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website. This policy is part of our broader Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They help websites recognize your device, remember preferences, enhance user experience, and gather analytics.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the proper operation of the website. They enable basic functionality such as page navigation and secure access.

2.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how users interact with our website by collecting anonymous data. We use tools like Google Analytics to monitor traffic and improve our services.

2.3 Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as language preferences or region, to provide a more personalized experience.

2.4 Advertising, Tracking, and Email Engagement Cookies: These may be set by us or third-party partners to deliver relevant ads, measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, or track interaction with email newsletters (e.g., whether emails are opened or links are clicked). These tracking technologies help us evaluate audience engagement and improve communication strategies.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some content or features on our site may be served by third-party platforms (e.g., embedded podcasts, social media, or analytics tools). These third parties may place their own cookies.

When you access or interact with our official channels on platforms such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Spotify, X (Twitter), or Instagram, you are subject to the cookies and data policies of those platforms. By using or continuing to engage with these platforms via links or embedded content on our site, you acknowledge and accept their use of cookies and tracking technologies.

We do not control these cookies and strongly encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of those platforms to understand your rights and options.

4. Managing and Opting Out of Cookies

Upon your first visit, a cookie banner may request your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time using the cookie settings available on our website.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow users to block or delete cookies entirely. If you previously consented to non-essential cookies via our cookie banner, you may also withdraw that consent at any time by accessing the ‘Cookie Settings’ link located in the website footer or settings menu. If you wish to opt out of email tracking, you can do so by using the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter or by contacting us directly to request removal from tracking-based lists. However, disabling cookies may impact certain site features or functionality.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

For cookies placed by other third-party services—such as embedded content, advertising platforms, or social media integrations—you may need to manage your cookie preferences directly on those third-party websites or via their respective cookie consent tools. Refer to their privacy and cookie policies for specific opt-out instructions.

5. Data Security and Cookie Use

While cookies do not typically contain personal data, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect cookie-related data and any associated information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or loss.

6. Regional Compliance Notes

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, or California, you may have additional rights regarding cookie consent and data processing. Where applicable, we rely on your consent as the lawful basis for setting non-essential cookies in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details.
