A short list of the cookies we use.

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can remember things between visits — for example, whether you've dismissed a banner, or which theme you've chosen. Some cookies are necessary for the site to work at all; others are optional and used for analytics or personalisation.

On zaitoon.ae we currently use the following categories:

• Strictly necessary — session cookies that keep the site working, remember your security state, and prevent CSRF attacks on the contact form. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics — anonymised, aggregate usage data to help us see which pages are useful and which are confusing. No user-level identifiers, no cross-site tracking.
• Preferences — if we ever add a setting like dark mode, your choice is stored in a cookie so we don't ask you again.

We do not currently use advertising cookies, social-network tracking pixels, or third-party retargeting tags.

All modern browsers let you accept, reject, or delete cookies via their settings. Doing so for our site will not break the basic experience, but you may lose features such as remembered preferences.

We'll add a granular cookie consent banner once the platform launches and we start using a wider set of optional cookies. For now, the cookie set we use is minimal and necessary.

We respect the Do-Not-Track signal where it is technically clear. If your browser sends DNT we will not load optional analytics on your visit.

If we start using a new category of cookie — for example, marketing or A/B testing — we will update this page and, where required by UAE PDPL, ask for your consent before setting the cookies.
