Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by a service used by the website, such as an analytics tool). Cookies can also be classified by their duration:
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
5.1 Browser Settings

Cookie consent records are retained for the duration of the consent plus 1 year after withdrawal.
8. International Data Transfers
Some cookies are set by third-party services (such as Google Analytics and Cloudflare) whose servers may be located outside the UAE. Where personal data collected through cookies is transferred internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by the PDPL, including data processing agreements with these providers. For further information, please refer to Section 6 of our Privacy Policy.
