COOKIES AND OTHER
STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES
Cookies are small text elements used to store information on web browsers.
Cookies are used, in particular, to store and receive login credentials and other information on devices such as computers or telephones.
Other technologies, including the data that we store on Users' web browsers, the credentials associated with a User device and other software, are used for similar purposes.
 
Throughout this policy, we refer to all these technologies as “cookies”.
 
We use cookies if Users have an INVESTDUBAI account, including on our website and applications, or if Users view other websites and applications using INVESTDUBAI.
 
Cookies allow INVESTDUBAI to offer the services to Users and to understand the information received from them, including information about their use of other websites and applications, whether they are registered or logged in or not.
 
This policy explains how we use cookies and presents the choices which Users may make in this regard. Unless otherwise stated in this policy, the Data Usage Policy will apply to our processing of the data we collect through cookies.
  • 1. Why do we use cookies?
    Cookies help us to offer, protect and improve INVESTDUBAI (e.g. by personalising content), as well as to adapt and measure advertisements, as well as to offer a more secure experience.
    The cookies we use include session cookies, which are deleted when Users close their browser, and permanent cookies, which remain on Users’ browsers until they expire or are deleted.
    Although the cookies we use may change as INVESTDUBAI are improved and updated, we use these for the purposes described below.
  • 1.1. Authentication
    We use cookies to check User accounts and determine when Users have logged in, so as to facilitate access to INVESTDUBAI and offer them an experience and  features suited to their use.
     
    They also help us register User web browsers to avoid their being required to log onto INVESTDUBAI each time, and for them to connect more easily through third-party applications and websites.
  • 1.2. Site security and service integrity
    We use cookies to guarantee the security of user accounts, user data and INVESTDUBAI.
    We also use cookies to store information allowing us to recover Users' accounts if they forget their password, or to request additional authentication if they advise us that their accounts have been hacked.
    Cookies also allow us to fight against activity in violation of our policies or impairing our ability to provide INVESTDUBAI.
    We also use cookies to detect computers infected with malicious software and to prevent them from causing further damage.
    Cookies also help us prevent INVESTDUBAI accounts from being created by persons not authorised to register because of their age.
  • 1.3. Advertising, recommendations, statistics, and measurements
    We use cookies to offer advertisements and recommend companies and other organisations to persons who may be interested in their products, services or the causes they support.
    Cookies allow us to limit the number of times Users view an advertisement, so that the same advertisement is not repeatedly displayed.
    They also help us measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns which are disseminated.
    We also use cookies to measure how often people take action, e.g. making a purchase after having seen an advertisement.
    Cookies help us to disseminate and measure advertisements on different browsers and devices used by one same person.
    They also allow us to offer statistics on persons using INVESTDUBAI and persons interacting with the advertising, websites and applications of our advertisers and companies who are users of INVESTDUBAI.
    We also use cookies to allow Users to no longer see certain advertisements on INVESTDUBAI based on their activity on third-party websites.
