Cookie Policy
Summary: We use cookies and local storage to run the site and remember your preferences (such as theme). You can manage most of them in your browser settings.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit websites. They help the site remember preferences and run essential features.
On AlaabTrend we also use localStorage and sessionStorage — browser-local storage — for preferences such as theme. This policy is for visitors of the public AlaabTrend site.
2. Types of cookies and storage
2.1 Essential
Required to run the site and protect forms. Disabling them may break functionality.
2.2 Functional
Remember your preferences (theme, language, display experience).
2.3 Security
Used when you submit a comment or contact message to verify the request is not from a bot (Cloudflare Turnstile).
2.4 Analytics (if used)
We may use aggregated analytics to understand site usage — without selling your personal data.
2.5 Advertising (third party)
When ads are enabled, our advertising partners — primarily Google AdSense — set cookies to serve ads, measure their performance, and prevent fraud. These cookies may personalize ads based on your prior visits to other sites.
