Cookie Policy
Last updated: 14 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies QRecode uses, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
We comply with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as keeping you logged in — making your next visit easier and the site more useful.
2. How we use cookies
QRecode uses only essential and functional cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies. Our QR code scan analytics are collected server-side only — no cookies are placed on the devices of people who scan your QR codes.
3. Cookies we use
Essential cookies — always active
These cookies are necessary for the site to function. The site cannot work without them and they cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in. No consent is required for these cookies under PECR.

qre_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie preference choices | 365 days |
PHPSESSID | Standard PHP session identifier | Session |
Functional cookies — optional
These cookies allow the site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not work as intended.

Advertising cookies — not used
QRecode does not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels of any kind. We do not serve advertisements within the platform.
