At Qestra Core, we're pretty straightforward about how we track website usage. This page explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on qestracore.com, why we need them, and how you can manage your preferences.
We use cookies to make our AR development platform work better for you. Some are necessary for basic site functions, while others help us understand how people use our educational resources so we can improve them over time.

What Are Cookies Anyway?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help websites remember information about your visit, like your language preference or login status.
When you visit qestracore.com, we may place several cookies in your browser. These help us provide basic functionality, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our AR development learning resources.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These are required for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure access to learning materials, and form submissions. You can't disable these through our tool because the site won't work properly without them.
Functional Cookies
These remember your choices and preferences. Things like your selected language, regional settings for our Mongolia-based services, or whether you've dismissed certain notifications. They make your experience more personalized.
Analytics Cookies
We use these to understand how visitors navigate our AR development resources. Which learning modules are most popular? Where do people spend the most time? This data helps us improve our educational content and fix issues.
Marketing Cookies
These track your browsing across different visits and sites. They help us show relevant information about our programs and understand which marketing efforts bring students to our platform. We don't currently use aggressive ad tracking.
Specific Cookies on Our Site
Here's what you'll actually find when you browse qestracore.com:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| qc_session | Maintains your session while browsing our learning platform | Session (deleted when browser closes) | Essential |
| qc_preferences | Stores your language and regional settings | 12 months | Functional |
| qc_analytics | Tracks page views and user behavior patterns | 24 months | Analytics |
| cookieConsent | Remembers your cookie preference choices | 12 months | Essential |
How We Actually Use This Data
Let me be specific about what happens with the information we collect through cookies:
Understanding Our Students
We look at which AR development tutorials get the most engagement. If everyone's breezing through Module 3 but getting stuck on Module 5, that tells us something. Maybe Module 5 needs better explanations or more examples. This kind of insight only comes from tracking how people actually use our platform.
Technical Improvements
Analytics help us spot technical problems. If we see that pages are loading slowly for users in certain regions of Mongolia, or if a particular browser is causing issues with our mobile AR previews, we can fix those problems. Without tracking data, we'd be flying blind.
Content Personalization
When you return to our site, functional cookies help us show you where you left off in your learning path. It's more efficient than making you hunt for the module you were working on last week.
Third-Party Cookies
Sometimes other companies' cookies end up on our site. This happens when we embed content from external platforms or use analytics services.
For example, if we embed a YouTube video demonstration of AR development techniques, YouTube may place their own cookies. Or if we use Google Analytics to track site usage, Google places cookies to gather that data.
We try to minimize third-party cookies, but some are necessary for the services we provide. These external cookies are governed by those companies' privacy policies, not ours.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options for controlling cookies on qestracore.com:
Use Our Cookie Control Panel
The panel at the top of this page lets you reject all non-essential cookies with one click. This disables analytics, functional, and marketing cookies while keeping the essential ones that make the site work.
Browser Settings
Every browser has settings for managing cookies. You can block all cookies, delete existing ones, or get notifications before cookies are placed. Here's where to find these settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
What Happens When You Block Cookies
If you disable all cookies, some parts of qestracore.com won't work properly. You might not stay logged in, your preferences won't be saved, and you'll need to re-enter information you've previously provided. It's your choice, but it makes for a less smooth experience.
Data Retention and Security
We don't keep cookie data forever. Analytics cookies typically expire after 24 months. Functional cookies last about 12 months. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
The data we collect through cookies is stored securely and used only for the purposes described in this policy. We don't sell cookie data to third parties or use it for purposes unrelated to improving our AR development educational platform.
Changes to This Policy
We update this cookie policy occasionally, especially when we add new features to our platform or change how we track site usage. The "Last Updated" date at the top tells you when we made the most recent changes.
If we make significant changes that affect your privacy, we'll notify you through a banner on the website or via email if you're enrolled in our programs.
