1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function, to improve performance, and to provide information to website operators. Cookies do not identify you personally; they recognise your browser or device.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, which operates on a comparable basis. References to "cookies" in this policy include these related technologies unless otherwise stated.
2. How We Use Cookies
Quorum uses cookies on our website at quoru.sbs and on our hosted learning portal. Cookies help us maintain session continuity, understand how visitors navigate the site, and remember preferences you have set. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to track your activity across other websites.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use

These cookies are necessary for the website and learning portal to function. They enable core features such as session management, secure login to the portal, and preference storage (including your cookie consent choice).

Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, where visitors come from, and how they navigate through the site. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this data to improve the layout and content of our website over time. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them via the cookie banner.

Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your region or display settings, so that we can provide a more consistent experience on return visits. These cookies are set only if you accept them.
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |

| qrm_locale | Stores your selected language or regional preference for the portal interface | 12 months | Preference |

4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies listed above are set by third-party services we use — Google Analytics, Meta, and Microsoft Bing. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they handle cookie data. We encourage you to review them:
- Google Analytics: policies.google.com/privacy
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel: facebook.com/privacy/policy
- Microsoft Bing: privacy.microsoft.com
Quorum does not grant these third parties access to any personal data beyond what is automatically transmitted through standard cookie mechanisms. We do not use third-party cookies for advertising targeting or retargeting purposes.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a cookie preference banner will appear. You may accept all cookies, accept essential cookies only, or adjust your preferences. You can also update your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site, which will trigger the banner again.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block or delete cookies from individual websites. Please be aware that blocking essential cookies may affect the functionality of our learning portal and website features.
For guidance on managing cookies in common browsers:

- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data

6. Cookies on the Learning Portal
Our hosted learning portal uses essential session cookies to maintain your login state and track module completion status. These are strictly necessary for the portal to function. Analytics cookies, if accepted, are also active on portal pages to help us understand how participants navigate course content and identify any usability improvements.
HR administrators may see aggregated completion data in the dashboard; this is derived from portal activity records and is not stored as a cookie on your device.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable guidance. When we make updates, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page. We recommend reviewing this page periodically if you wish to stay informed about our use of cookies.
