Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. "Local storage" is a similar mechanism that stores data within your browser. Both are used to remember small pieces of information between page loads (e.g. that you closed a popup so it doesn't reopen).

2. What we use, and why

Name	Type	Purpose
`nl-shown`	Session storage	Remembers that you've already seen the newsletter modal during this browser session, so it doesn't open twice.
`nl-dismissed`	Local storage (30 days)	Remembers when you dismissed the newsletter modal so it doesn't reappear for 30 days.
`nl-subscribed`	Session storage	Remembers that you have subscribed to the UAE Legal Brief, so the modal doesn't reappear.

3. What we do not use

No third-party advertising or marketing cookies.
No cross-site tracking pixels.
No fingerprinting or device-identification scripts.
No social-media trackers.

If we add any optional analytics in future (for example Plausible or a privacy-respecting alternative), it will be cookieless and shown here.

4. Service-Worker storage

The Site registers a Service Worker (`/sw.js`) for offline support. The Service Worker caches HTML pages and assets in your browser's Cache Storage so the Site is fast on repeat visits and continues to work briefly when offline. No personal data is stored. You can clear the cache through your browser's Site Settings.

5. How to control or clear

You can clear local-storage entries and Service-Worker caches through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings. Removing them will reset the newsletter-modal state.

6. Third-party content

The Site embeds Google Fonts (used to render the typography) which may set their own technical cookies in some browsers. We do not control those settings; please refer to Google's cookie policy for details.
