01What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and, in some cases, show you relevant advertising. Similar technologies include local storage and device identifiers used by mobile apps.
02Cookies we use
Our approach is minimal. The GulfRasta website does not display advertising, does not run analytics trackers, and does not collect personal information through forms. In practice, the cookies you may encounter are:
- Essential cookies: technically necessary for the website to function correctly, such as remembering preferences and keeping the site secure. These cannot be switched off.
- Server logs: our hosting infrastructure may record standard technical data (such as IP address, browser type, and request time) for security and reliability. This is not used to identify or profile you.
03Cookies on our website
The GulfRasta website is informational. It contains no sign-up forms, payment pages, or advertising. Because of this, we do not set marketing, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies. If we ever introduce features that require tracking cookies, we will update this policy and, where required by law, ask for your consent before placing them.
04Similar technologies in the app
The GulfRasta app stores information locally on your device to make the app work — for example, your login session (kept securely) and your app preferences. This local data stays on your device and is managed by the app. It is not used for advertising.
Like most apps, we may also collect anonymous usage and diagnostic information to help us fix problems and improve features. This is described in our Privacy Policy and does not involve advertising trackers.
05Third-party cookies
We do not currently use third-party advertising or analytics cookies on our website. If you visit external websites linked from ours (for example, employer sites or government portals), those sites have their own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
06Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies on a site-by-site basis. Because we use only essential cookies, blocking cookies may affect how parts of the website work, but you will still be able to browse all information.
If you prefer, you can also disable local storage for the app through your device settings; the app will continue to work, though you may need to sign in again.
07Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Where changes are material, we will make the updated policy prominent on the website.
