Last updated: November 14, 2025Q-Factor Ltd ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") (Menachem Begin Road 132, Floor 20, Tel Aviv 6103201, Israel) uses cookies and similar technologies on qfactorhq.org ("the Service"). This Cookie Notice explains what we use, why, and how you can manage your preferences. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

The cookies described here are those needed to run the site and understand how the technical content is being accessed.

6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party service providers acting as our processors (for example, analytics infrastructure). We have written agreements with such providers limiting their use of data to the purposes for which it was collected on our behalf. We do not permit third parties to use data collected via qfactorhq.org for their own independent purposes.
