Cookie policy

We use the smallest possible amount of browser storage. Nothing that is not strictly necessary runs until you say yes.

Do you need to consent?

Under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, consent is the default basis for processing personal data, and it has to be specific, informed and easy to withdraw. Analytics and advertising cookies are not necessary to make the site work, so we ask first. The strictly necessary ones are used to keep you logged in and keep the site secure, and the site cannot function without them.

What we use

Type	What it does	Consent needed
Strictly necessary	Keeps you signed in, remembers your cookie choice, keeps an ad you have not finished on this device until you publish it, remembers locations you chose to save, protects forms from abuse	No
Preferences	Remembers light or dark mode, text size and how you like the homepage laid out	Yes
Analytics	Counts page views and where visitors come from, so we know what to fix	Yes
Advertising	We do not use any. No Meta pixel, no Google Ads tag, no retargeting.	None

Changing your mind

Use the cookie settings link at any time, or clear cookies in your browser. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

If you add tracking later

Note for whoever maintains this site: the moment you add Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, a Meta pixel or any similar tag, it must not load until the visitor has accepted the analytics or advertising category. Firing a tag before consent is the most common way a UAE site falls foul of the PDPL, and this table must be updated to list every cookie the tag sets.
