+  Enables or disables the inclusion of a QR code of your personal website.

+\note For the \code{contemporary} style it is recommended to use the \code{\\moderncvcolor\{cerulean\}} color scheme. The \code{contemporary} style is even more appealing with reduced margins. Use this in your preamble:
+\begin{lstlisting}
