A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor‘s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” is also called a Web bug or a pixel tag or a clear GIF. Used in combination with cookies, a Web beacon is an often-transparent graphic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on a website or in an e-mail that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending the e-mail.

QCC uses cookies and other similar technologies for the convenience of our users. Cookies are primarily used to store a session ID.

QCC uses session ID to ensure the proper functioning and efficiency of our Site. Most Internet browsers enable you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please be aware, however, that QCC site features and services will not function properly without cookies.

We use third-party advertising companies who may place or access cookies on your computer hard drive to distinguish your web browser uniquely and to keep track of information relating to serving ads on your web browser, such as the type of ads shown and the webpages on which the ads appeared. These companies may use information about your visits to this Site and to other Sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you on our Site or on other third party Sites. We also may give third party advertisers the ability to tailor their advertisements on our Site using demographic and preference information we provide to them in aggregate form.

These companies operate under their own privacy policies and QCC encourages you to be aware of the privacy policies of such companies. QCC does not have control over or access to any information contained in the cookies that are set on your computer by third party advertisers.

Our Site does not respond to web browser “do not track” signals.
