100% this. ^^^

I never scan QR codes of any kind to potentially avoid that or, at minimum, the installation of cookie-type trackers on my phone.

No offense to the OP but, there seems to be no point in making something more complex than it needs to be. Shared phone # and email (plus address if we'll be visiting) is all I need from anyone here.
