Our founders were in Germany to kick off the official launch of QWANT in the presence of key journalists and influencers.
Following this official launch, we received many requests. Here are the main topics covered:
Session cookies? Yes !
Session cookies are used to remember:
- The language you use.
- The view (Classic, Mosaic, List) you prefer.
Tracking cookies? No !
- Qwant guarantees anonymity on the web.
- No link is established between the research and the users.
Where do traffic statistics come from?
Piwik is the only tool recommended by the CNIL (www.cnil.fr)!
This tool guarantees user anonymity (all IPs are anonymous).
The information we collect allows us to establish basic indicators (daily, monthly traffic, etc.).
To comply with the law, we have added a PIWIK withdrawal option. If you check the refusal option, you will not be taken into account in our visit statistics.
Filter bubble
Qwant gives you access to the diversity of the web.
No filter on your results.
We do not filter results based on your previous searches, habits or preferences.
From one computer to another, all results are the same, regardless of the query or the Internet user.
Contextualization
These are not “pages” but “objects”. This is our vision of web 3.0.
Social is now included in the relevance of the results.
We do “contextualization”.
