Cookies Policy

1) Purpose of this Policy

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which ones we may use on the Site, why we use them, and how you can control them. This document forms part of our privacy framework and should be read together with any in-page notices and consent prompts you see when visiting the Site.

2) What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember choices, to analyse usage, and to personalise content.

We may also use similar technologies, such as:

• Local storage / session storage: browser-based storage used to keep settings or states.
• Pixels / tags / web beacons: small code snippets or transparent images that help measure events like page views or e-mail opens.
• SDKs: code within our applications that performs functions similar to cookies in a web environment.

For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies”.

3) Types of cookies we may use

• Strictly necessary cookies: essential for core functions (e.g., page navigation, load balancing, security, session management, consent logging). The Site cannot function properly without these.
• Performance / analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages visited, time on page, navigation flows) so we can improve speed, design and content.
• Functionality cookies: remember your choices (e.g., language, region, saved preferences) to provide an enhanced experience.
• Security and fraud-prevention cookies: detect and prevent malicious activity (e.g., bot traffic, abuse, denial-of-service patterns).
• Advertising / measurement cookies (where used): enable us to understand the effectiveness of our outreach and to deliver or measure more relevant information about MuslimSurfer. These may be set by us or by carefully selected third parties acting on our instructions.

4) Why we use cookies (purposes)

We use cookies to:

• operate and secure the Site;
• remember your cookie choices and other preferences;
• measure Site performance and improve usability;
• understand which content is most useful to visitors;
• (where applicable) measure the reach and effectiveness of MuslimSurfer information campaigns.

We focus on aggregated traffic patterns rather than identifying individual visitors unless security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance requires otherwise.

5) Third parties and embedded content

We may work with service providers that place cookies or read cookies on our behalf to provide analytics, security, performance monitoring, and—where applicable—measurement services. Where third-party cookies are used, those providers act under contractual obligations and are not permitted to use data for their own independent marketing.

If the Site includes embedded content (for example, a video or widget), that content may set its own cookies. We do not control third-party cookies set by embedded content. You can manage consent as described below.

6) Legal basis (EU/EEA/UK)

• Strictly necessary cookies: processed under our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functional website.
• All other cookies: placed and read on the basis of your consent, which you can give, refuse, or withdraw at any time.

7) Your choices and control

Consent banner / manager. On your first visit—and periodically thereafter—you may be presented with a cookie banner or preferences manager. You can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookies.

Browser controls. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, receive alerts when cookies are set, or limit tracking. Blocking all cookies may impact Site functionality, and certain features will not work without strictly necessary cookies.

Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Our response to DNT may vary based on technical feasibility and prevailing standards.

E-mail pixels. You can disable image loading in your e-mail client to reduce pixel-based tracking for messages you receive from us.

8) Retention

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period and are removed automatically when they expire. We retain consent records for as long as required to demonstrate compliance with applicable laws.

9) Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data collected via cookies against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss. No method of transmission or storage is entirely secure; use of the Site is at your own risk.

10) Children’s privacy

Our Site is intended for adults and for guardians configuring our services. We do not knowingly place non-essential cookies to profile children. If you believe children’s data has been collected inappropriately, contact us so we can investigate and act.

11) International transfers

Where cookie-derived data is processed outside your country, we implement appropriate safeguards consistent with EU/EEA and UK requirements to protect that information.

12) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted via the banner or in-page notice. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the most recent revision.
