Cookie & Advertising Policy
A simple explanation of the technologies that help the site work, remember preferences, and display advertising.
Last updated: 19 September 2026
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small information files stored by a browser. We may use them and similar technologies so the site works, remembers choices, and helps us understand technical issues.
- Some cookies are necessary for account operation, security, and the selected language.
- Some technologies help measure general use and improve screens and content.
- Cookie choices may vary by browser, device, and site settings.
Preferences and user experience
The site may store choices such as language, dismissed messages, display preferences, or navigation state so you do not have to choose them again on every visit.
- These preferences are intended to create a more consistent and convenient experience.
- Deleting browser data may reset local preferences and require you to choose them again.
- Do not use a public computer without signing out of your account when finished.
Measurement and service improvement
We may receive aggregated or technical information about how the site operates, such as errors, loading times, or screen use, to identify problems and improve the product.
- Measurement is used to improve reliability, accessibility, and user experience.
- We aim to minimize use of information that is not needed to operate and improve the service.
- Personal and sensitive information is kept in our protected databases and systems with appropriate access controls.
Advertising on the site
At this update, third-party advertising is not active on the site. If it is enabled after the appropriate approval and required consent, it will appear only on public educational pages—never in chat, lapse reports, a personal journey, or sensitive account screens.
- No third-party ad is currently loaded. If advertising is enabled in the future, it will appear only on public educational pages, not sensitive personal screens.
- When an ad loads, the browser may communicate with Google and other advertising providers. They may read or write cookies, web beacons, IP address, and similar technical identifiers to deliver and measure ads. We do not send Google cessation details, mood, lapses, or chat content. This site requests non-personalized ads.
- An ad is not a medical recommendation, product endorsement, or promise by QuitSmokingIL.
Managing and disabling cookies
You can usually block, delete, or manage cookies in browser settings. Advertising providers may offer additional controls in their own accounts; QuitSmokingIL does not personalize ads using a person's cessation data.
- Blocking essential cookies can cause parts of the site not to work as expected.
- Deleting cookies does not necessarily delete an account or information stored in the service itself.
- To remove an account or make a request about personal information, use the account tools or contact us.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when technologies are added, plans change, or advertising rules are updated. The update date appears at the top of this page.
- For questions about cookies, ads, or privacy, contact us by email.
- This policy is a general explanation of technology use on the site and is not legal advice.
- We recommend reviewing the privacy policy and terms of use as well.
