**Cookies**

Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes standard technology called “cookies” and server logs to collect information about how it is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and after our own, as well as your IP address.

A cookie is a minimal text document, often including an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each website can send its cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

We reserve the right to use technological equivalents of cookies, including social media pixels. These pixels allow social media sites to track visitors to outside websites to tailor advertising messages users see while visiting that social media website. We reserve the right to use these pixels in compliance with the policies of the various social media sites.

**Third-Party Use of Cookies**

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Website are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our website. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information, or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioural) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. You should contact the responsible provider directly if you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content.

**Data Protection**

We are committed to protecting your data and implementing appropriate technical and organisational security measures. This includes the following:

*   Using encryption technologies to protect sensitive information.

*   Implementing access controls to restrict access to your data to authorised personnel only.

*   Regularly reviewing our security practices and making improvements as necessary.

*   Compliance with the data security requirements of the UAE Data Protection Law.

We will ensure that our data processors (e.g., hosting providers and email service providers) also implement appropriate security measures. Email is not recognised as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we ask that you not send us private information by email. Doing so is allowed, but it is at your own risk. Some of the information you enter on our website may be transmitted securely via a secure medium known as Secure Sockets Layer or SSL. Credit Card information and other sensitive information is never transmitted via email.

We may use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, we use software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

**Your Rights Under UAE Law and Applicable Data Protection Laws**

*   If you are a resident of the United Arab Emirates, or if other data protection laws apply to you (e.g., if you are a European Union citizen), you may have certain rights regarding your data under Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (the “UAE Data Protection Law”) and related laws.
