Cookie policy

1. About this policy

This Cookie policy explains how MAHD L.L.C-FZ, the operator of mahd.ae, uses cookies and similar technologies in connection with our Shopify store. Read it with our Privacy policy, which explains our identity, data handling and your rights.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small records stored in your browser. Local storage, pixels and similar technologies can also remember choices or record interactions. Some are set by the website you visit; others involve third-party services. Session cookies generally last for a browsing session, while persistent cookies remain until they expire or are removed.

Online identifiers and browsing events can be personal information, especially when linked to a device, account or transaction. Cookie data is not necessarily anonymous.

3. Why these technologies are used

Essential functions: operating the shopping basket and checkout, maintaining sessions, supporting security and remembering privacy choices. Blocking necessary technology can prevent some store functions from working.

Preferences: remembering choices such as region or display settings where those features are provided.

Measurement: understanding website interactions and campaign results to improve the store and assess advertising performance.

Advertising: supporting relevant advertisements, audience selection, frequency management and measurement across participating services, subject to the choices and legal requirements that apply.

4. Shopify and advertising partners

Shopify supplies our storefront and related technology. Shopify Network Intelligence is enabled and can support enhanced services using interactions with our store, Shopify and other merchants, as explained in our Privacy policy. See Shopify’s cookie information and its Consumer Privacy Policy.

MAHD uses Google Ads, Meta platforms, TikTok and Snapchat for advertising, and WhatsApp for communications or marketing. Whether a particular provider sets or reads technology during your visit depends on the features used, the integration and your choices. An advertisement or a link to a social platform does not by itself establish that the platform places a cookie on our site.

Providers may combine information with data they hold and process it under their own policies. Opening WhatsApp or another social service also brings that service’s privacy practices into scope. This policy does not authorise unrestricted sharing with unnamed partners.

5. Your choices

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technology, it must be obtained before that technology is used. Visiting the site or reading this policy is not, by itself, consent to optional tracking. Where website cookie controls are displayed, use them to review or change the choices they offer.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser’s privacy settings and manage personalised advertising through the relevant platform’s settings. Clearing cookies may remove stored preferences, so you may need to choose again. Settings can differ between browsers and devices.

Rejecting optional advertising or measurement cookies should not require you to give up essential shopping functions. Blocking all cookies may affect baskets, login or checkout. Browser settings do not necessarily control server-side processing or all information a platform already holds.

For help withdrawing consent or exercising applicable privacy rights, contact hello@mahd.ae. Marketing-message subscriptions are separate from cookie choices; use the unsubscribe option or ask us to stop promotional messages.

6. Duration and changes

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose and provider. Some expire when a session ends, while others remain for a specified period unless deleted. Cookie expiry is separate from the retention of information already received, which is described in our Privacy policy. Provider documentation and available browser or consent controls can give further information about individual cookies.

We may update this policy when relevant technology, providers or practices change. Routine campaign changes within the purposes described here do not necessarily require a new policy; materially new processing may require an updated notice or fresh consent.
