Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Sakr Group (“we,” “us,” or “our“) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website (the “Site“). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context on how we handle your personal information.

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner about how visitors interact with their pages.

Cookies typically contain:

• A unique identifier assigned to your device or browser.
• The name of the website that set the cookie.
• An expiry date, after which the cookie is automatically deleted.

Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixel tags, and session identifiers — work in comparable ways. Where we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we also mean these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

We use the following categories of cookies on the Site:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and access to certain areas of the Site. Without them, services you have asked for cannot be provided. Because they are strictly necessary, they are placed on your device without requiring your consent.

• Cookie consent record — stores your cookie preference (accept or reject) so we do not show the consent banner on every page visit. Duration: 1 year.
• Session identifiers — maintain a consistent browsing session while you navigate between pages. Duration: session (deleted when you close your browser).

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which pages are most visited, how visitors navigate between pages, and whether they encounter any errors. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify individuals. We set these cookies only if you have consented.

• Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) — collects anonymous data on page views, session duration, and referral sources. Duration: up to 2 years (_ga); 24 hours (_gid).

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as language preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. We currently set one functional cookie:

• Language preference (sakr_ui_lang) — stores your chosen interface language (English or Arabic). Duration: stored in browser localStorage until cleared.

Advertising / Marketing Cookies

We do not currently use advertising or retargeting cookies on the Sakr Group website. Should this change in future, this policy will be updated and your consent sought before any such cookies are placed.

We use cookies for the following specific purposes:

• Keeping the Site functional. Strictly necessary cookies ensure pages load correctly, forms submit properly, and your session remains consistent as you move between pages.
• Remembering your preferences. Functional cookies remember your language selection so you do not need to re-select it on every visit.
• Understanding Site usage. Analytics cookies (with your consent) help us identify which content is most useful, where visitors come from, and how to improve the overall experience.
• Recording your cookie choice. We store your consent or refusal in a strictly necessary cookie so we respect your preference on subsequent visits without repeatedly asking.

We do not use cookies to build individual profiles for targeted advertising, to sell data to third parties, or for any purpose beyond those stated above.

When you consent to analytics cookies, third-party service providers (currently Google Analytics) may place cookies on your device directly. These providers have their own privacy policies that govern how they collect and use data. We encourage you to review them:

• Google Analytics: Google LLC — governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. Data may be processed in the United States and other countries where Google operates. Google offers an opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We do not permit any third-party provider to use the data they collect on our behalf for their own advertising or any purpose other than providing the analytics service to us.

Third-party cookies set by embedded content (for example, any video players or social-media widgets that may appear on the Site) are governed by the policies of those platforms, not by this Cookie Policy. We will update this section if we introduce new third-party integrations.

You are in control of which non-essential cookies are set on your device. You can manage your preferences in the following ways:

On This Site

Click “Cookie Preferences” in the footer of any page to open our consent banner, where you can accept or reject analytics cookies at any time. Your choice is stored in a strictly necessary cookie (one year) so we can honour it on future visits.

Selecting “Reject” will prevent analytics cookies from being placed on future page loads. It will not retroactively delete cookies already placed if you previously accepted — use your browser settings (described below) to remove existing cookies.

Browser Settings

All major browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through the browser’s privacy or settings menu. The links below take you to the relevant instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox — Options › Privacy & Security › Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari — Preferences › Privacy › Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions

Please note that blocking all cookies (including strictly necessary ones) may affect the performance of the Site and prevent some features from working correctly.

Opt-Out Tools

For Google Analytics specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your browsing activity from being collected across all websites that use Google Analytics.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we add new analytics tools, if the law requires changes, or if we change how we use cookies. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, if the changes are material, display a notice on the Site.

If we start using a new category of cookie that requires your consent (for example, advertising cookies), we will ask for your permission before placing those cookies.

We recommend revisiting this page periodically to stay informed about our current cookie practices.
