Cookie Policy

Last updated: November 19, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how RotaryQuiz uses them, and the choices you have regarding their use. We want to be transparent about our practices so you can make informed decisions when visiting our website at https://rotaryquiz.org.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly and to provide information to the website owner about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies are not programs or executable files — they cannot carry viruses or install malware. They are simply small pieces of stored text that help websites recognize your browser or remember certain preferences.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic operation of our website. Without them, certain features — such as the cookie consent banner — would not function correctly. These cookies do not require your consent as they are necessary for the site to work.

Cookie Name Purpose Duration
rq_cookie_consent Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted or declined) 1 year (localStorage)

2.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember information that changes the way our website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or region. At present, RotaryQuiz does not use functional cookies beyond what is described above.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We do not currently operate a first-party analytics system that sets cookies. If we integrate any analytics tools in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be requested before any such cookies are placed.

2.4 Advertising Cookies

RotaryQuiz does not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing behaviour, and we do not share data with advertising networks for this purpose.

3. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, we use your browser's localStorage — a built-in browser feature — to store your cookie consent preference. This allows us to remember whether you've accepted or declined cookies without placing a traditional cookie file on your device. localStorage data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some content or features on our website may be provided by third parties, and those third parties may set their own cookies. Specifically:

  • Google Maps: Our contact page includes an embedded Google Maps widget. Google may set cookies when you interact with the map. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle your data.
  • Bootstrap and Font Awesome: We load these libraries from CDN providers (jsDelivr and Cloudflare). These CDNs may set performance-related cookies or log your IP address as part of their delivery service.

We do not control third-party cookies and are not responsible for their use. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you encounter.

5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

5.1 Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit RotaryQuiz, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can choose to Accept or Decline cookies. Your choice will be stored in your browser's localStorage and respected during subsequent visits.

5.2 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies directly. You can also set your browser to block cookies from being placed. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of our website.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that you can enable to request that websites not track your browsing activity. At present, there is no universal standard for responding to DNT signals. We do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to DNT signals, though we are committed to reviewing this as standards evolve.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we update this policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
