General Information on Cookies
User trust is important to us, and therefore, at QUALITY GOODS we are concerned about protecting your privacy. An important aspect of this is providing you with as much information as possible about how we use your personal data, including how we use local data storage and similar technology.
Local data storage involves storing different types of data locally on your device through your web browser. Locally stored data may, for example, contain user settings, information about how you navigate our website, which web browser you use, what advertisements have been shown, and similar behavior on websites with which we collaborate. Locally stored data may be used to customize the content and functions on our services so that your visits are more comfortable and meaningful.
One method of storing data locally is through cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (PC, cell phone or tablet) that allow us to recognize your web browser. Cookies contain information primarily about your web browser and any activity that has occurred on it. They help us to ensure the security and optimal functioning of our website. Once you leave our website they are deleted (security cookies and session cookies) and collect information about the products that interest our internet visitors and how they navigate through our website to make our online offers more attractive to users (tracking cookies).

More details on these topics are provided below:
For our advertising
We use local data storage in connection with advertising activities. This allows us to know if and how often the user has seen an advertisement or certain type of advertisement, and how long ago they saw it.
We also use local data storage to build target segments and groups for marketing purposes and to target specific advertisements.
To analyze and improve our services
We use various measurement tools that provide us with statistics and analysis related to our services. These tools allow us to recognize the web browser over time and to find out if the user has visited the website before and if so how often. These tools give us the possibility to get an overview of how many unique users we have and how they use our services.
We also use the information we have collected and analyzed to develop and improve our services, for example, by finding out which services generate the most traffic or seeing if a service is working optimally.
To deliver and taylor services to your use
Local storage of data is required and necessary in order to allow you to use our services, such as information about your settings, which tells us how the services should be presented in your web browser.

Cookie management
You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when you are sent a cookie.
The settings in your web browser normally show a list of all cookies that have been stored to provide you with an overview and, if you wish, to remove unwanted cookies.

You can also choose to be notified each time a new cookie is stored. Guidance on how to do this in different web browsers is provided below.
