1. Purpose and Scope
This Cookie Policy explains how Al Samily LLC (“Al Samily,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website www.alsamily.com (“Website”).
It describes what cookies are, why we use them, which types we deploy, and how you can manage or disable them.
This Policy forms part of our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. By continuing to browse or use our Website after seeing the cookie banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described here, unless you adjust your preferences.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They store information about your session and preferences to enhance performance and functionality.
Other similar technologies may include:
Web beacons / pixels – transparent image files used to track interactions.
Local storage – browser-based storage that retains settings or form data.
Tags and scripts – snippets of code helping to analyze site usage or deliver features.
Together, these are referred to as “cookies” in this Policy.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
Ensure the Website functions properly and securely;
Remember your preferences (such as language or region);
Measure Website traffic and performance;
Enhance usability and personalize experience;
Support cybersecurity and fraud prevention;
Comply with legal obligations and obtain consent where required.
We do not use cookies to collect sensitive information or for intrusive profiling.
4. Types of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the Website to operate. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions.
Because they are required for functionality, you cannot disable them through the cookie-consent tool (though you may block them in your browser, which could impair the site).
Examples
Session-management cookies maintaining login or form data.
Security cookies verifying requests and preventing misuse.
B. Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous statistics on how visitors use our Website—for example, which pages are most popular and how users navigate between them.
This helps us improve content and design.
Examples
Google Analytics (or equivalent) cookies:
_ga,_gid,_gat.Internal traffic-measurement tags.
We anonymize IP addresses where possible. You can opt out through our consent manager or browser add-ons.
C. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your settings and preferences to provide a more personalized experience—for instance, storing chosen language, country, or accessibility adjustments.
They are optional but enhance ease of use.
D. Targeting or Marketing Cookies
These cookies track visits across websites to deliver content relevant to your interests. At present, Al Samily does not employ third-party advertising or behavioral-tracking cookies.
If introduced in the future, they will operate only with prior consent and clear notice.
E. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by service providers whose tools we use (e.g., analytics, hosting, video players). These third parties may process data outside your jurisdiction under their own privacy policies.
We periodically review and vet these partners to ensure compliance and transparency.
5. Cookie Duration
Cookies can be either:
Session Cookies: temporary; deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies: remain until they expire or you delete them manually. We set reasonable expiry periods (typically 1 day to 12 months) to minimize data storage.

8. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers send “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. At present, no uniform standard exists for interpreting them, so we do not currently respond to DNT signals. We will review this practice if standards are adopted.

Access restricted to authorized personnel;
Transmission secured by HTTPS and encryption;
Periodic deletion of obsolete cookies and logs.
