Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site operators. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services operating on that website (“third-party cookies”).

Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels, may also be used. Where we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.

2. Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on areebi.com:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies) or after a defined period (persistent cookies).

• Session management and authentication state

• Referral source and campaign attribution
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Aggregate engagement metrics

2.3 Preference Cookies

3. How to Manage Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:

• Browser settings:Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
• Cookie consent banner: When you first visit our website, we present a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site.
• Opt-out links:For specific analytics services, you may use the provider's opt-out mechanism. For example, you can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of the website, and some features may not work as intended.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we use third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them. Third-party cookies on our website may include:

• Analytics providers: To measure website traffic and usage patterns in an anonymised manner.
• Embedded content: If we embed content from third-party platforms (such as video players or social media widgets), those platforms may set cookies through the embedded content.

We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies. Areebi does not sell data collected through cookies to third parties.
