Kate Quinlan
Kate Quinlan is a Senior Editor at All About Cookies with more than a decade of experience in digital publishing, editorial quality systems, and hands-on product testing. She has edited over 370 articles for AAC and oversees content across a broad range of digital security and privacy verticals — from VPNs, ad blockers, password managers, and parental controls to web hosting, cloud storage, and AI app builders — personally testing dozens of products on both PC and iPhone.
At All About Cookies, Kate leads new content production and specializes in web building and hosting. Her coverage of emerging verticals, including AI app builders and cloud storage, reflects AAC's expanding scope, and she has established the editorial standards for evaluating these newer categories. She also contributes to researching, writing, and maintaining articles on cookies, privacy law, the GDPR, and other emerging data compliance topics. Her expertise has been cited in Fortune, where she commented on cookie tracking, surveillance pricing, and the limits of consumer opt-out tools.
Kate holds a B.A. in Professional Writing from Kutztown University, and her editorial background is rooted in building content quality at scale. Before joining All About Cookies, she served as Senior Content Manager at SuperSummary, an EdTech publisher, where she led a team of more than 150 writers and editors, developed the company's first comprehensive writer training program, and established quality assurance standards across a large content library. That foundation in editorial systems and quality enforcement directly shapes the standards to which every piece of content at All About Cookies is held.
When not at her computer, Kate, along with her husband, strives to adopt sustainable living practices. Together, they love to learn about and build homesteading skills (organic gardening and food preservation), experiment with vegan cooking (replacing mac and cheese is impossible), and dote on their lively daughter.
