What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that sites send to your device and that may be sent back on subsequent visits.
Similar technologies (e.g. local storage to remember a consent choice) may also be used. This policy explains what we use and why.
Strictly necessary technologies
These tools are required to operate the site and for security. They do not rely on marketing consent.
Vercel hosting
NecessaryThe site is hosted on Vercel Inc. (USA). Session or security identifiers may be used for routing and edge delivery.
Consent preference (local storage)
NecessaryWe store your marketing consent choice and date under the key `holdup-cookie-consent` so we do not repeatedly prompt you beyond the terms described here.
Analytics and marketing (consent)
These tools are activated only if you click “Accept all” or enable the category in the preference panel.
Google Analytics 4
Analytics / marketingProvider: Google LLC (USA)
We measure visits and events in aggregate. Cookies such as `_ga`, `_ga_*`, `_gid`, `_gat` may be set with typical durations up to 24 months for `_ga`.
Meta Pixel
MarketingProvider: Meta Platforms (USA / Ireland)
Conversion measurement and advertising analytics. Cookies such as `_fbp` may be used.
Legal bases
Strictly necessary cookies: legitimate interests / legal obligations as applicable under the ePrivacy framework.
Analytics/marketing cookies: consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
International transfers
Some providers (Google, Meta, Vercel) may process data in the United States. Where applicable, appropriate safeguards such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses are used.
The controller is established in the UAE: data may also be accessible from that jurisdiction; EEA users retain the rights described in our Privacy Policy.
Retention
Third-party cookie lifetimes follow vendor documentation.
If you reject marketing cookies, we may ask again after 5 days. If you accept, we keep proof of consent for a reasonable period (e.g. 12 months) unless regulations require updates.
Effect of your choices
If you reject analytics/marketing: the site remains usable; GA4 and Meta Pixel will not load.
If you accept: we may measure traffic and conversions using those tools’ default features.
Your rights
Under GDPR Articles 15–22 you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection where applicable, and withdraw consent for consent-based processing.
