1.What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences, so you do not have to re-enter them on every visit.
Similar technologies — such as local storage and pixel tags — work in comparable ways. This policy refers to all of them as 'cookies'.
2.Why we use cookies
We use cookies only when they are necessary or clearly beneficial:
- To keep you securely signed in and protect your session.
- To remember your language (Arabic, French, or English) and theme preferences.
- To measure aggregate, anonymized usage so we can improve the platform.
- To detect fraud and abuse.
3.Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
Required for login, security, and core features. The platform cannot function without these.
Preference cookies
Remember your language, dark-mode setting, and other display choices.
Analytics cookies
Collect anonymous statistics about pages visited and features used, to help us improve.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
4.How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser and are used for things like keeping you signed in during a visit.
Persistent cookies remain for a set period (typically a few weeks to a year) and remember preferences across visits.
5.Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or refuse cookies, and you can delete cookies already stored on your device.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using video sessions.
Your language and theme preferences are applied via preference cookies — disabling them means you may need to re-select them on each visit.
6.Third-party cookies
A small number of trusted providers (such as our video and analytics services) may set cookies to deliver their functionality. These providers are bound by contracts that limit use to providing the service — never for advertising.
7.Updates to this policy
We may update this policy when our use of cookies changes. Material updates will be communicated through the platform. The 'last updated' date reflects the current version.
