Qwant Causes: What is it? How to donate while searching

Qwant wants to be more than a safe, anonymous search engine. To that end, the Causes system exists to allow you to donate for free while searching. We explain how it works.

Search, find, donate: Qwant Causes thrives on its charitable nature.

Vast amounts of money flow through the Internet every day. With Qwant Causes, a small portion of it is supposed to be used for good causes.

Qwant Causes: Donate without spending money

To use Causes, you need to activate the feature on qwant.com. This is done at the top via a slider at "Qoz".

• Qoz is the name of the currency you collect when searching with Causes.
• The name Qoz is borrowed from the pronunciation of "Causes". "Cause" means "occasion" or "purpose".
• If the Causes feature is enabled, a portion of the advertising revenue that is regularly generated through Qwant search is given to charity.
• Users thus do not pay a cent, but can still do something good.
• The usual security mechanisms are of course also active with Causes: your Internet movements are not tracked, your data remains anonymous.
• The more often you search with Qwant, the more Qoz are generated. Ihren derzeitigen Stand sehen Sie ebenfalls oben neben dem lila Q-Symbol.

Es spricht somit nichts gegen die Nutzung von Causes. Die Einnahmen kommen qualifizierten Organisationen und Vereinen zu; Qwant möchte damit eine Möglichkeit zur internetbasierten und gleichzeitig ethisch sinnvollen Spende bieten.
