Cookie policy

The cookies we use

One. Exactly one, and it is strictly necessary:

• –NEXT_LOCALE: set only when you pick a language with the EN and AR switch, so the site keeps that language while you browse. It is deleted when you close your browser. It holds nothing that identifies you.

What we do not use

No Google Analytics or any other analytics tool. No Meta, Google Ads or other advertising pixels. No fonts, maps, videos or widgets hosted by anyone else: everything this site serves comes from our own domain. We do not profile visitors, and we neither sell nor share data.

Why there is no cookie banner

EU rules (the ePrivacy Directive) require consent before a site stores or reads anything on your device, unless it is strictly necessary for a service you asked for. UAE law has no rule written specifically for cookies, but it requires consent or another legal basis for any use of personal data. A cookie that remembers the language you chose, set only after you chose it, falls within the exemption and holds no personal data.

Since the only cookie here is the one holding your language, there is nothing to consent to, and a banner asking permission for nothing would only train you to click Accept without reading. If we ever add analytics or advertising, the banner appears before any such cookie is written, with Reject as visible and as easy to click as Accept, and with the ability to change your mind at any time.

Controlling cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time, without asking us. Block ours and the site still works. It simply stops remembering the language you picked.
