What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. It lets the site recognise your browser on later visits, or remember a setting during a session. Cookies do not run programs and do not carry viruses on their own.

When you browse the catalogue, open a product page, or start filling in a compatibility or stock request, the site may place a cookie so the next page you open knows what came before. Nothing in that file identifies you personally; it holds a short reference the site can read back. You can clear it at any time from your browser's settings, and the site will simply treat you as a new visitor on your next click.

Similar technologies work in the same way. Web storage and session storage also keep small pieces of information in your browser, so this policy covers them alongside ordinary cookies. Where the text below says cookie, the same rules apply to those technologies.

  • Size A few hundred bytes of text
  • Stored in Your own browser, on your device
  • Readable by The site that set it — and any provider you load from that site
  • Runs code No. A cookie carries values, not programs
  • Refusing them Allowed in most browsers; some forms may then behave differently

Cookies we use

We use a small number of cookies for basic site functionality and to measure aggregate usage, so we can see which pages visitors read. These cookies do not identify you by name. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles on this site.

Keeps the site working
Session handling, page routing, and the small memory that stops a form from losing what you typed between steps. Without this group, parts of the site simply stop responding.
Counts visits, not people
Aggregate numbers that tell us which catalogue pages and guides get read, and where visitors leave. We read them as totals, not as individual histories.
Remembering small choices
A preference such as a chosen sort order or a collapsed filter stays put while you move between rows, so you do not have to set it again on every page.
What we do not do
No cross-site advertising profiles, no selling of cookie data, and no third-party marketing pixels placed by us on this site.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies keep the site working, for example by maintaining a form session while you fill in a stock or compatibility request. Without them, parts of the site may not function. These cookies cannot be switched off through the site itself.

In practice this group does three jobs. It holds your session while you move between a card's page and the compare view, so the selection you made is still there. It protects request forms against repeated submissions from the same browser. And it stores the single answer you gave to the site's cookie notice, so the notice does not reappear on every page.

Because these cookies are required for those functions, they are set as soon as you open the site and are not governed by the optional switches. If you block them in your browser, browsing and reading still work, but a request form may reset or refuse to submit, and the compare view may forget what you added. That trade-off is yours to make — nothing on the site is hidden from you if you take it.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed most. The data is used in aggregate to improve content and navigation. You can block these cookies in your browser without losing access to the site.

These cookies answer ordinary questions: which card pages readers open first, whether the comparison page sends people on to a buying guide or back to the catalogue, and where a session ends. Nothing here is per-person surveillance. We read a count of visits to a page, not a name attached to a visit.

The effect on you is practical. When we see that a section is rarely opened, we rewrite it or fold it into a page that already answers the question. When a guide page sends readers away early, we shorten the step where people stop reading. Blocking the measurement cookie does not change what you can see or order — it only removes your visit from our totals.

  • Pages opened per visit Aggregated
  • Entry and exit pages Aggregated
  • Device class and screen width Aggregated
  • Your name, email or order history Never collected

Third-party cookies

If a third-party service is used to host or analyse the site, that provider may set its own cookies. We do not control those cookies directly. Review the provider's own policy for details on what it stores and why.

In practice, third-party cookies appear in two situations here. The first is the service that delivers and protects the site: it may keep a short-lived cookie to distinguish real browsers from automated traffic, and to keep the site available under load. The second is a measurement service, which may set its own identifier so its reports stay consistent between visits.

What that means for you: those cookies are created by the provider's domain, not ours, so they are governed by the provider's own privacy notice rather than this page. We choose providers on the basis of what they do for the site, and we do not ask them to build advertising profiles from visitor data. To remove or block them, use the same browser controls described below — they treat first-party and third-party cookies in the same settings screen, usually under a heading such as content settings or site data.

What the provider may keep
  • A short evidence cookie that confirms your browser is a browser
  • A load-balancing marker that keeps one session on the same server
  • A measurement identifier so reports stay consistent between visits

Names, durations and full purposes are listed in each provider's own policy. Ask us if you want to know which provider is active at the time you visit.

Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you view, delete and block cookies through their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect the way this site behaves, particularly forms. Instructions are available in your browser's help section.

  1. Step one

    Open your browser's settings

    Look for a privacy, content settings or site data entry. All current browsers group cookie controls in one place, usually a few levels deep in the main menu.

  2. Step two

    Review what is stored

    Most browsers list cookies by site with a size and an expiry date. You can expand this site's entry to see the individual files, and delete any of them individually.

  3. Step three

    Choose what to allow

    You can block third-party cookies while keeping first-party ones, clear everything on exit, or allow everything. Each choice applies to the browser, not only to this site.

A few consequences are worth knowing before you change anything. Clearing cookies signs you out of any site where you had a session and resets preferences on this site back to their defaults. Blocking all cookies keeps the catalogue and guides readable, but a stock or compatibility request form may fail to submit. Blocking only third-party cookies is the usual middle setting and leaves the site's own functions intact.

If you would rather change nothing and still want your visit counted less, most browsers offer a private or incognito window. Cookies set there are discarded when you close the window.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The current version is published on this page. For questions, contact Quandrel Graphics Store, 15, Centum 1-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan, 48058, Republic of Korea, or call +82-51-740-2211.

  • Telephone +82-51-740-2211
  • Opening hours Mon–Fri: 09:00–18:00
  • How will I know if this policy changes?

    The version on this page is always the current one. If our use of cookies changes, the sections above are rewritten and the document summary at the top of the page is updated to match. There is no separate mailing list for this document.

  • Can I order or browse with cookies blocked?

    Reading the catalogue, the card pages and the buying guides works without cookies. Where it becomes awkward is a request form: without the session cookie, the form cannot hold what you typed between steps and may not submit at all. If you want to send a request while blocking cookies, call +82-51-740-2211 instead.

  • Do you use cookies to show advertising?

    Not on this site. The cookies described here serve site functionality and aggregate measurement. We do not place advertising pixels on these pages and we do not sell cookie data to other companies. If that ever changes, this page is where it will be stated first.

  • Where else can I read about how you handle data?

    The Privacy Policy covers what we collect, why, and how long we keep it. The Terms of Service describe the rules for using the shop. This Cookie Policy sits between them and covers browser storage only.

Still unsure what a cookie here does?

Ask us directly and we will tell you which group applies to the page you are reading. Our team answers questions about this policy during opening hours, Mon–Fri: 09:00–18:00.
