Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 2026
To provide a clean, secure, and accurate real-time polling ecosystem, Quorum Check uses cookies and equivalent web storage technologies. This policy details how we use these tools, what they track, and your rights to manage them under UK data protection standards.
1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage Objects?
Cookies are compact text strings downloaded onto your device when loading a web application. Alongside standard cookies, we use browser-based Session Storage and Local Storage objects. These tokens serve to retain interface preferences and prevent platform manipulation without constructing intrusive permanent data trails about your browsing history elsewhere on the web.
2. How We Use Cookies & Tracking Frameworks
Our tracking mechanics fall into two distinct operational groupings:
A. Strictly Necessary Elements (Always Active)
These are vital for basic infrastructure stability, system operations, and voting reliability. Because the platform cannot run safely without them, they cannot be individualised or disabled manually via choice arrays:
- PHPSESSID: A core system cookie used to manage encrypted visitor states, pass pricing metrics derived from regional IP routing, and hold temporary dynamic form confirmations.
- Voter Anti-Sybil Tokens: Local storage identifiers used specifically to flag that a user has participated in a given simulation or demo check. This prevents multiple submissions from the same terminal session, protecting the validity of the data.
B. Performance & Preferences (Optional Setup)
These support quality-of-life adjustments across our dashboards, such as remembering your billing configuration choices or keeping account profiles logged in safely over multiple sessions:
- Billing Preferences: Retains your selected toggle parameters (Monthly vs Annual billing layouts) across pricing panels so you do not have to flip toggles on subsequent visits.
- Session Persist: Retains active, authorized administrator keys across workspace dashboards when premium accounts opt for continuous access.
3. Cookie Configuration Matrix
| Identifier Name | Classification | Functional Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPSESSID | Strictly Necessary | Maintains application navigation states and local geofencing session parameters. | End of Session |
| voter_id | Strictly Necessary | Cryptographic tracker token utilized to block script-driven double voting. | Browser Managed |
| billing_toggle | Preferences | Remembers user preference for monthly or annual pricing displays. | 30 Days |
4. How to Control and Clear Your Cookies
Most standard browsers accept cookies by default. However, you maintain absolute control over these files and can modify your browser settings to decline, block, or completely wipe existing records.
Please note that if you clear your browser data or use an aggressive incognito configuration, any active anti-double-voting validation strings will reset, and saved selection preferences across our dashboard pricing components will return to defaults.
