This Cookie Policy explains how Archireef Limited and its affiliates (together, "Archireef", "we", "us" or "our") use cookies and similar technologies on www.archireef.co (the "Site"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy (AR-PRV-001), which describes how we handle personal data generally.
This Policy applies to all visitors and users of the Site, regardless of the country or region from which you access it. It is published in line with the requirements of the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, the EU and UK GDPR (including the ePrivacy Directive and UK PECR), and the California CCPA/CPRA.
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or phone) when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners.
Similar technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons and local-storage objects perform comparable functions and are treated as cookies for the purpose of this Policy.
Cookies fall into two broad groups:
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
3. Cookies We Set
The list below details the specific cookies and similar technologies in use on the Site, with their typical expiry. Purposes and expiries are based on standard configurations and may vary slightly depending on browser and platform updates.
3.1 Strictly Necessary
3.2 Analytics — Google Analytics 4
These cookies are set only after you accept analytics cookies. Data is transmitted to Google servers in the United States and processed under Google's Data Processing Terms, which incorporate Standard Contractual Clauses. In GA4, IP addresses are processed to estimate approximate location but are not logged or stored by Google.
3.3 Other third-party cookies
The newsletter sign-up form in the Site footer sends your email address to MailerLite, our newsletter provider. This form does not set any cookies on your device.
4. Your Consent and How to Manage It
When you visit the Site for the first time, you will see a cookie banner that lets you accept or decline non-essential analytics cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are set regardless, because the Site cannot function without them; this is permitted under applicable laws.
You can change your preferences at any time by:
Declining analytics cookies will not affect your use of the Site; enquiry forms and downloads will continue to work normally.
5. Managing Cookies via Your Browser
All major browsers let you control cookies through their settings, including blocking all cookies, blocking third-party cookies or clearing existing cookies:
You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing Google's official browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
6. Cross-Border Transfers
Where you accept analytics cookies, the resulting data is processed by Google in the United States. Both Hong Kong and the UAE permit transfers of personal data abroad, subject to appropriate safeguards. We rely on Google's Data Processing Terms, which incorporate the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and comparable safeguards, and on Google's published technical and organisational measures, including GA4 not logging or storing IP addresses.
7. Updates to this Policy
We will update this Cookie Policy if we add new features or change the cookies or similar technologies on the Site. If we add advertising or marketing tags in the future, such as the LinkedIn Insight Tag or the Meta Pixel, we will revise this Policy, update the banner, and ensure that no such tag sets cookies on your device without prior consent.
