Cookie Policy

Effective 10 May 2026 · Last updated 10 May 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how geo.qa (operated by Vortx.ai) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website or use our web application. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

[ 1 · Definition ]

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve performance, and to provide information to the site owner. This policy also covers comparable technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, and web beacons — we refer to all of these as "cookies" below.

[ 2 · Categories ]

Categories we use

We group cookies by the purpose they serve. You can accept or reject each optional category at any time.

  • EssentialAlways on

    Strictly necessary for the site to function: authentication, security, load balancing, remembering your language, and storing your cookie choices. These cannot be turned off because the service will not work without them. No consent is required under the GDPR / ePrivacy Directive for strictly-necessary cookies.

  • AnalyticsOff by default

    Help us understand which features are used and where users encounter friction, so we can improve the product. We rely on Google Analytics 4 in aggregate, IP-anonymised form; we do not send message content, prompts, or uploaded files to any analytics provider.

  • MarketingOff by default

    Let us measure the reach of campaigns that brought you to geo.qa. If you reject this category, you will still see the site, but we cannot attribute your visit to a campaign.

Cookies we use

The table below lists every cookie and similar technology that may be set on your device when you use geo.qa, together with its provider, purpose, retention period, and category.

Durations are maximums. Cookies may be cleared earlier if you sign out, clear your browser data, or withdraw consent. Where a provider also sets subdomain variants (for example, _ga_* for additional GA4 properties), the same category and retention apply.

[ 4 · Third parties ]

Third parties

Some cookies above are set by third-party services we use. Those third parties act as independent data controllers for the cookies they set, and their own privacy notices apply. We do not allow these providers to use data collected through geo.qa for their own independent marketing.

  • Google LLC

    Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager

    Data may be transferred to the United States under Google's Standard Contractual Clauses.

    Read their privacy policy →
  • Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.)

    Error monitoring. Only active if NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN is configured. The Sentry browser SDK uses in-memory storage by default and does not set cookies unless Session Replay is enabled.

    Data may be transferred to the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses.

[ 5 · Choices ]

Your choices and how to withdraw consent

When you first visit geo.qa we show a consent banner. Optional categories (Analytics, Marketing) are set to denied by default and are only enabled if you explicitly accept them. You can change your decision at any time — withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

  • Use the button on this page or in the footer to re-open the preferences dialog.
  • We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information under US state privacy laws.
  • You can block or delete cookies directly in your browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
  • You can opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

If you reject all optional categories, essential cookies will still be set because the service cannot function without them. Essential cookies do not require consent under the EU ePrivacy Directive.

[ 7 · Children ]

Children

geo.qa is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly set non-essential cookies for users we know to be under that age.

[ 8 · Changes ]

Changes to this policy

We review this policy at least annually and whenever we add or remove a cookie or third-party provider. When we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, ask you to renew your consent through the banner.

[ Definitions ]

Essential Cookie means a cookie strictly necessary to provide the service you requested, exempt from consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.

Analytics Cookie means a cookie used to measure aggregate product usage, set only after you opt in.

Marketing Cookie means a cookie used to attribute campaign reach, set only after you opt in.

Global Privacy Control means a browser-level signal that indicates an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information under US state privacy laws.
