This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Emirates Compliance uses them on our website, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owner. We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, and local storage — in this policy we refer to all of these as "cookies".
First-party cookies are set by us; third-party cookies are set by other organisations whose services we use (for example analytics or payments). Session cookies expire when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. We also use functional, analytics, and marketing cookies — including cookies set by Google and Meta to measure our website and our advertising. You can control, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings and the opt-out tools described in How to manage cookies below.
