WeyQi Cookie Notice
This Cookie Notice explains how Indura Tech FZCO, operating WeyQi ("WeyQi," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies on the WeyQi public website, creator and participant interfaces, customer-facing platform areas, dashboards, and related online services that link to or display this Cookie Notice (collectively, the "Services").
This Cookie Notice should be read together with the WeyQi Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the WeyQi General Website Terms of Use, Creator Terms and Conditions, Brand Platform Terms and Conditions, Agency Platform Terms and Conditions, and any program-specific terms.
1. What This Notice Covers
This Cookie Notice describes:
- what cookies and similar technologies are;
- the categories of cookies and similar technologies we may use;
- whether those technologies are set by WeyQi or by third parties;
- the types of information they may collect;
- the purposes for which we use them;
- how consent and preference controls work;
- how you can manage, disable, or withdraw consent; and
- how to contact us with questions.
This Cookie Notice applies to cookies and similar technologies used in connection with both:
- the public website and marketing pages; and
- the platform environment, including account login areas, dashboards, campaign or loyalty program pages, participant journeys, analytics features, and related service functionality.
2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your browser, device, or system when you visit a website or use an online service. Cookies can help websites and platforms recognize a browser or device, remember settings, enable core features, improve security, and collect usage information.
We may also use similar technologies, including:
- local storage and session storage;
- software development kits (SDKs);
- pixels, tags, and web beacons;
- device identifiers;
- log-based tracking technologies; and
- similar tools that collect or store information in or from your browser, application, or device.
For simplicity, this Cookie Notice refers to all of these technologies as "cookies," unless the context requires otherwise.
3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
We may use both first-party and third-party cookies.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| First-party cookies | Cookies placed by WeyQi or on our behalf. These are commonly used for core site and platform functions, session management, security, and settings. |
| Third-party cookies | Cookies placed by third-party providers whose tools or content are integrated into the Services, such as analytics, security, hosting, communications, embedded media, advertising, or social media providers. |
Third-party providers may process data collected through their cookies in accordance with their own privacy notices and terms. Where required by applicable law, we seek to provide appropriate controls before non-essential third-party cookies are used.
4. Categories of Cookies We May Use
The table below describes the main categories of cookies and similar technologies we may use.

5. What Information Cookies May Collect
Depending on the technology used and your interactions with the Services, cookies may collect or be associated with information such as:
- IP address;
- browser type and version;
- device type, operating system, and device identifiers;
- date and time of access;
- pages viewed, features used, clicks, scrolls, and navigation paths;

In some cases, this information may be linked with other data we hold about you, including account, participation, support, security, or transactional information, as described in the WeyQi Privacy Policy.
6. How We Use Cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- operate, maintain, and secure the Services;
- enable account login, session continuity, and authentication;
- remember your settings and preferences;
- provide website and platform functionality;
- measure and improve performance, usability, and reliability;
- understand how users engage with pages, features, and workflows;
- detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, spam, bots, abuse, and security incidents;
- support moderation, trust-and-safety, and platform integrity controls;
- measure the performance of marketing and referral efforts;
- support embedded content, social features, and integrations; and
- comply with legal, regulatory, audit, and recordkeeping obligations.
Where cookies are used in connection with campaigns, loyalty programs, referrals, creator participation, or customer dashboards, they may also help us administer workflows, maintain program integrity, and support anti-abuse and verification processes.
7. Consent and Cookie Preferences
Where required by applicable law, we will request your consent before placing or activating non-essential cookies, such as certain analytics, advertising, marketing, or social media cookies.
7.1 Cookie Banner and Preference Center
When you first visit relevant parts of the Services, you may see a cookie banner or similar notice that allows you to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject non-essential cookies where that option is available;
- customize preferences by category; or
- access additional information before making a choice.
Your preferences may be stored using a cookie or similar signal so that they can be recognized on later visits.
7.2 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies do not generally require consent where permitted by applicable law because they are needed for the basic operation, security, integrity, or administration of the Services, or to provide a service you request.
7.3 Changes to Preferences
You may update or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through:
- the cookie settings or preference management tool made available on the Services, where implemented;
- browser or device settings; or
- the controls described in this Cookie Notice.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
8. Browser and Device Controls
Most browsers and devices allow you to control cookies through settings. Depending on your browser or device, you may be able to:
- view stored cookies;
- block all cookies or only certain categories;
- delete existing cookies;
- set preferences for specific websites;
- control local storage or similar technologies; and
- receive alerts before cookies are stored.
Please note:
- blocking or disabling strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the Services not to function properly;
- deleting cookies may reset your preferences or require you to log in again; and
- browser-based controls may not always affect all technologies, such as SDKs, local storage, or server-side tracking tools.
If you use different browsers or devices, you may need to update your preferences on each one.
9. Advertising, Analytics, and Similar Third-Party Controls
Where we use third-party analytics, advertising, or social media technologies, those providers may offer their own privacy or opt-out controls. Availability and effectiveness of those controls depend on the provider, your region, and the relevant technology.
We do not guarantee that all third-party tools can be fully controlled solely through browser settings. For that reason, we encourage users to use both:
- our cookie preference tools, where available; and
- the relevant browser, device, and third-party controls.
10. Retention and Lifespan
Cookies may remain active for different periods depending on their purpose.
| Type | General Lifespan |
|---|---|
| Session cookies | Usually expire when you close your browser or end your session. |
| Persistent cookies | Remain for a longer period until they expire automatically or are deleted manually. |
The actual lifespan of a cookie may vary depending on:
- its purpose;
- the service area where it is used;
- whether it is first-party or third-party; and
- applicable technical, security, operational, and legal requirements.
We generally retain cookie-related information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Cookie Notice, including service delivery, analytics, security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, legal compliance, and recordkeeping.
11. Security and Fraud Prevention Technologies
Some cookies and similar technologies are used specifically to help protect WeyQi, our users, Brands, Agencies, Creators, Participants, and the Services. These technologies may help us:
- identify automated or suspicious activity;
- detect spam, bots, fake traffic, or abuse;
- protect account access and authentication flows;
- support integrity reviews and investigations; and
- preserve platform trust, safety, and compliance.
Because these technologies are closely tied to the secure and reliable operation of the Services, they may be treated as strictly necessary or otherwise exempt from consent requirements where permitted by law.
12. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Controls
Some browsers and extensions offer "Do Not Track" ("DNT") settings, and some jurisdictions recognize signals such as the Global Privacy Control ("GPC").
Because there is not yet a single uniform standard for how all such signals should be interpreted across all technologies and jurisdictions, the Services may not respond to every DNT signal automatically. Where required by applicable law, and where technically feasible, we will honor legally recognized preference signals in accordance with applicable requirements.
Using our cookie preference tools remains the most reliable way to manage cookie settings on the Services.
13. Children and Minors
The Services are not directed to children in violation of applicable law. If you believe that a child or minor has provided personal data through cookies or similar technologies in a manner not permitted by applicable law or our terms, please contact us so that we can review and take appropriate action.
14. Relationship to the Privacy Policy and Other Terms
This Cookie Notice addresses cookies and similar technologies specifically. For more information about how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, retain, and otherwise process personal data, please review the WeyQi Privacy Policy.
Other WeyQi terms may also apply depending on how you use the Services, including:
- WeyQi General Website Terms of Use for public website use;
- WeyQi Creator Terms and Conditions for creator accounts and participation;
- WeyQi Brand Platform Terms and Conditions for Brand customers;
- WeyQi Agency Platform Terms and Conditions for Agency customers; and
- any applicable program-specific terms.
15. Changes to This Cookie Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time to reflect changes in:
- our Services;
- the technologies we use;
- legal, regulatory, or compliance requirements; or
- our operational, security, or business practices.
When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this Cookie Notice. If required by applicable law, we will also provide additional notice or seek renewed consent.
