Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Questo Hub ("we," "our," or "us"), operating via https://questocomm.com/, uses cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar tracking technologies to recognize you when you visit our educational platform. It outlines what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your computer, smartphone, or tablet when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently, provide secure authentication, save user preferences, and supply reporting information.

Cookies set by Questo Hub are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality on our site (e.g., interactive advertising via Google AdSense and security acceleration via Cloudflare).

2. Categorization of Cookies We Use

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several technical, operational, and commercial reasons, categorized below:

A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies:

These cookies are essential for the operation of Questo Hub and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core site navigation, secure user logins, and transaction authorization:

• Laravel Session (`laravel_session`): Maintains your secure authenticated login session as you navigate across courses, quizzes, and community forums.
• CSRF Security Token (`XSRF-TOKEN`): Protects forms and payment submission endpoints against Cross-Site Request Forgery security attacks.
• Cloudflare Security (`__cf_bm`, `cf_clearance`): Injected by Cloudflare to distinguish human visitors from malicious automated bots and mitigate DDoS attacks.

B. Analytical & Performance Cookies:

These cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors use our platform, helping us optimize simulator load speeds and user experiences:

• Cloudflare Web Analytics (RUM): Measures page performance, response times, and rendering speed without storing personally identifiable information.

C. Advertising & Targeting Cookies (Google AdSense):

3. Local Browser Storage

In addition to cookies, we utilize HTML5 Local Storage and Session Storage to store non-sensitive user preferences locally on your browser. This includes saving quiz state progress, simulator UI theme settings, and active tab preferences to ensure a fast, seamless experience.

4. How to Control & Disable Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or decline cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through your web browser controls:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Block all cookies.
• Edge: Settings → Site Permissions → Cookies and site data.

Please note: If you choose to disable essential cookies, certain features of Questo Hub—including user login, course subscription access, and interactive clinical simulators—may not function properly.

5. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies.
