How we use cookies and similar technologies on quantquorum.com

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by a user send to their device (computer, tablet, or smartphone browser), where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites on subsequent visits. Similar technologies (such as pixels, tags, device identifiers, and tracking scripts) can perform functions comparable to cookies.

Some cookies are required for the website to work properly (strictly necessary/technical cookies). Others help us understand how pages are used, tailor the experience, or display more relevant content. Some cookies are set directly by QuantQuorum (first-party cookies), while others are set by third parties (third-party cookies).

2. Categories of cookies we use

The following categories of cookies and similar technologies may be used on quantquorum.com:

• Strictly necessary (technical) cookies: essential for the website to function and to enable navigation and requested features (for example session handling, security settings, saving minimal preferences, and basic load management).
• Preference or functional cookies: help remember certain choices (for example language, region, cookie banner settings) and improve browsing experience.
• Analytics cookies: collect information—where possible in aggregated and/or anonymised form—about site usage (pages visited, time spent, navigation paths) to measure digital performance, identify improvements, and assess interest in specific content and calls to action.
• Marketing/targeting cookies: used to track browsing across different websites and/or build profiles about visitors’ professional interests in order to show personalised ads or content. These cookies are used only if you give explicit consent through the tools provided (for example the initial banner or the preferences panel).

Consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies. For non-anonymised analytics cookies and marketing/targeting cookies, consent is required and can be withdrawn at any time.

3. First-party and third-party cookies

Cookies may be set directly by QuantQuorum or by third parties that provide specific services (for example analytics tools, tag management platforms, campaign measurement services, or embedded video/meeting tools used on certain pages).

First-party cookies are managed by QuantQuorum and are not shared with third parties for purposes unrelated to those described in this policy. Third-party cookies are set by domains other than quantquorum.com; in these cases, how data collected through such cookies is processed is determined by the relevant providers, acting as independent controllers or joint controllers, under their own privacy notices.

Where technically feasible, QuantQuorum uses configurations that reduce direct user traceability (for example by masking parts of IP addresses or using settings that limit correlation with other information held by analytics providers).

4. Cookie retention

Cookies can last for different periods depending on their function:

• Session cookies: active only for the duration of a browsing session and deleted when the browser is closed;
• Persistent cookies: stored on the user’s device for a defined period even after the browser is closed and read by the website on the next visit.

Retention periods are set in a way that is proportionate to the purposes for which cookies are used. Once the relevant period expires, cookies are automatically deleted (unless regenerated due to a new visit or a new consent choice by the user).

5. Managing consent and preferences

On your first visit, you will see a banner explaining cookie use and allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences. Via a dedicated panel (for example a “Cookie settings” link in the footer), you can change your choices at any time.

Where consent is required, your choice is recorded using a technical identifier that helps us document your preferences. This information may be stored for a limited period—typically up to 12 months—after which you may be asked to confirm your choices again.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

In addition to the tools available on the website, you can configure your browser to accept or reject all cookies, choose which cookies to accept on a case-by-case basis, or delete cookies already stored on your device. The steps differ depending on your browser.

In general, you can find cookie controls under your browser’s “Settings”, “Options”, or “Preferences” section. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may, however, affect the website’s functionality (for example saving language preferences or storing your cookie consent choices).

7. What this means for QuantQuorum services

Because quantquorum.com is focused on summits and services for a professional audience, cookies and similar technologies are used mainly to understand aggregated visitor behaviour, assess interest in different pass types, measure the effectiveness of UK-focused campaigns aimed at CFOs, banks, and fintech teams, and optimise the event registration journey.

Cookies are not used to make automated decisions that produce legal effects for users or similarly significant impacts. Any marketing activity based on segmentation or interest clusters is performed in aggregated or pseudonymised form, within the limits described in the Privacy policy.

8. Relationship with the Privacy policy

Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data, especially where it is linked to unique identifiers or other elements that enable identification (directly or indirectly). In such cases, the provisions of QuantQuorum’s Privacy policy also apply, including purposes, legal bases, data subject rights, and how to exercise them.

9. Updates to this Cookie policy

This Cookie policy may be updated from time to time—for example if we introduce new services, change the technologies we use, or if applicable laws and guidance change. The current version is always published on this page and includes the date of the latest update.

If material changes affect how we use cookies that require consent, QuantQuorum may show the choice banner again or ask you to update your preferences via the dedicated panel.
