Cookie Policy
Last updated: 16 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ibdaa Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the tawaasal.com website and customer portal. It supplements, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy.
The Tawaasal mobile applications for iOS and Android do not use cookies. They use local device storage to remember your sign-in and preferences, as described in the Privacy Policy.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your browser or device when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags. For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy.
2. Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into four categories. The first category is essential for the Service to work; the others run only with your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time via the Manage Cookies link in the website footer.
Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the website and customer portal to function. They are set when you sign in, when you submit a form, and when we need to remember a security state across pages. We cannot offer the Service without them, and they cannot be disabled through the consent banner.
Examples: session identifier, authentication token, CSRF protection token, cookie-consent preference.
Functional
These cookies remember choices you make to give you a better experience — for example, your language and theme preference. They do not track you across other websites.
Examples: language preference (en / ar), theme preference (light / dark), region or country selection.
Analytics
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website so we can improve it. We use a privacy-respecting analytics provider that does not build advertising profiles and does not share data with third parties for marketing. The analytics data we receive is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
Examples: anonymous page view, anonymous session duration, referring page.
Marketing
We currently do not use marketing or advertising cookies on tawaasal.com. If we introduce them in the future, this Cookie Policy and the consent banner will be updated to list each cookie and its purpose before any such cookie is set.
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties acting as our service providers. Where this is the case, the third party is bound by a data processing agreement and processes data only on our documented instructions. Categories of third parties we may use include:
- Stripe — sets cookies on payment pages to prevent fraud and to maintain a secure checkout session.
- Privacy-respecting analytics provider — sets cookies (only with your consent) to measure aggregate website usage.
Embedded content from other services (for example, video or maps) may set additional cookies on the pages where they appear. Where this happens, we ask for your consent before loading the embedded content.
4. How long cookies are stored
Cookies are either session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Persistent cookies we set typically expire within 12 months. Your cookie-consent preference itself is stored for 12 months, after which we ask again.
5. Managing your cookie preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
- Click Manage Cookies in the website footer to open the consent panel
- Use your browser's settings to block or delete cookies — see the help pages for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge
If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the website may not work. Blocking functional, analytics, or marketing cookies does not affect your ability to use the Service.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. If we make material changes — for example, adding a new category of cookie — we will request your consent again before the new cookie is set.
