Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files placed on your device to help websites function, remember preferences, and understand usage. We also use similar technologies (e.g., local storage, pixels, SDKs). PDPL principles (transparency, purpose limitation, consent for marketing) and Qatar’s etransactions law inform how we disclose and obtain consent.

Firstparty cookies: set by Malkiati.qa.

Thirdparty cookies: set by analytics/ads/service providers we use (e.g., traffic analytics, performance, communications). We require PDPLaligned contracts for processors.

Strictly Necessary (no consent) – enable core functions (e.g., login, session security, load balancing, fraud prevention). Disabling may break the site.

Performance & Analytics (consentbased) – to measure visits, events, and improve features (aggregated reporting). We configure tools to minimise data where feasible.

Functionality (consentbased) – remember preferences such as language or saved filters.

Advertising/Marketing (consentbased) – show relevant content, measure campaign effectiveness; no sale of PII. Electronic direct marketing and tracking require clear consent and easy optout under PDPL guidelines.

When you first visit, we display a cookie banner:

Cookie lifetimes vary by category and purpose (e.g., session vs. persistent). We set reasonable durations consistent with purpose limitation and storage minimisation.

Where thirdparty tools place cookies, their privacy/cookie notices apply in addition to this policy; we contractually require PDPLaligned safeguards.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, cookies in use, or legal requirements. We will post changes on this page.
