This notice explains what Quartermaster stores in your browser and why. It covers cookies and any other browser storage. It goes with section 10 of our Privacy Policy.
1. What we set
Quartermaster sets one cookie, and it's strictly necessary: without it you couldn't stay signed in. It isn't used for advertising, profiling, analytics or tracking you across sites.
| Name | Purpose | Details | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
qm_session | Keeps you signed in as you move between pages | A signed token identifying your session. HttpOnly (page scripts can't read it), SameSite=Lax, and sent only over HTTPS | Until you sign out, or 7 days |
Quartermaster doesn't use local storage, session storage or similar browser storage. Your browser may keep its own cache of pages and images, which you control in your browser settings.
2. What we don't set
- No analytics cookies (no Google Analytics, Hotjar or similar).
- No advertising cookies or pixels.
- No cross-site tracking. The app talks only to its own site. Cloudflare, which carries traffic to our server, sees request details as described in our Privacy Policy, but we don't use any Cloudflare tracking cookies.
If you find something stored by Quartermaster that isn't listed here, please tell us at [email protected].
3. Why there's no cookie banner
Our only cookie is strictly necessary to provide the Service you've asked for, so we don't need to ask for consent. If we ever add anything that isn't strictly necessary, such as analytics, we'll ask first — with a real option to decline — and update this notice before we switch it on.
4. Clearing or blocking it
- Sign out from the Quartermaster menu — this deletes the cookie.
- Clear it in your browser — in your browser's site-data or cookie settings, find
quartermaster.vanthor.co.zaand clear its data. - Private or incognito windows discard the cookie when you close them.
You can block cookies in your browser, but then you won't be able to sign in to Quartermaster.
