Quick Work Studio

Cookie Policy

Last updated: 10 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Quick Work Studio (www.quickworkstudio.com) uses cookies and similar technologies, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages and visits, such as whether you are signed in. Websites can also use local storage, which works in a similar way but stays on your device and is never sent to a server automatically.

2. Our approach

Every tool on Quick Work Studio runs in your browser. What you type, calculate or upload into a tool is not sent to us. We keep our own cookies to a minimum: we only set one, and only if you sign in. The other cookies on the Site come from Google Analytics and Google AdSense.

3. Essential cookies

These are needed for a feature you asked for. They cannot be switched off on the Site, but you never need them to use a tool.

qws_session
Keeps you signed in to your account so your favourite tools sync. Only set when you sign in. It is HttpOnly and Secure, so scripts cannot read it.
Set by: Quick Work StudioLasts: 30 days, or until you sign out

4. Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which tools and pages are useful. The reports we see are in aggregate and do not identify you.

_ga
Tells visits apart so we can count unique visitors.
Set by: Google AnalyticsLasts: Up to 2 years
_ga_<ID>
Keeps track of your current session.
Set by: Google AnalyticsLasts: Up to 2 years

You can stop Google Analytics on every site with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

5. Advertising cookies

Ads keep every tool free. We use Google AdSense, and Google and its partners may set cookies to:

Common examples include __gads, __gpi, IDE and NID. The exact names and durations are decided by Google and can change; see how Google uses cookies and how Google uses cookies in advertising.

You can turn off personalised ads in Google Ads Settings, or opt out of other vendors at aboutads.info and, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu. You will still see ads, but they will be less related to your interests.

6. Local storage on your device

Some features save small pieces of data in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device, is never sent to us, and you can delete it any time.

qws_visits, qws_install_snooze

Set by: Quick Work StudioLasts: Until you clear it

If you install the Site to your home screen, your browser also keeps a copy of pages you have opened so they work offline. Clearing the site's data removes it.

7. Consent

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent message from Google lets you choose whether to allow personalised advertising before those cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time from the link the message provides. In other regions, by using the Site you agree to the use of cookies as described here, and you can control them as explained below.

8. How to control cookies

Blocking cookies will not stop any tool from working. You will not be able to stay signed in, and favourites, notes and theme choices are lost if you clear local storage.

9. Changes to this policy

If we add or remove cookies, we will update this page and the date at the top.
