Cookie Policy

Version 1.0, draft for legal review. Last updated: date of publication.

This Cookie Policy explains how the Smart Eye Security website uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

The Arabic version of this policy is the authoritative version. This English version is provided for convenience.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage, do the same job. They let a website work properly and remember choices you have made. Some websites also use them to measure visits or show advertising.

2. How we use them

This website uses only cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary for it to work, or that remember a choice you made using its controls. None of them is used to identify you, track you across other websites, or show advertising.

We do not use analytics, advertising or other optional cookies at present. If we add any in future, they will stay off until you agree to them, and we will update this policy first.

3. The cookies and storage we use

Strictly necessary

These cannot be switched off, because the website cannot work properly without them.

se_consent (cookie): remembers your cookie choices, so we do not ask again on every page. Kept for 12 months.
NEXT_LOCALE (cookie): remembers the language you chose, so the website opens in it on your next visits. Kept for 12 months, or until you choose the other language. The language switch stays on every page.
smarteye:theme (local storage): remembers the theme you chose (light, dark or automatic). Kept until you clear it from your browser.
smarteye:journey (local storage): remembers whether you chose to skip the 3D journey on the homepage. Kept until you clear it from your browser.
payload-token and payload-totp (cookies): keep Smart Eye Security staff signed in to the website's management dashboard, with two-factor verification. Set only for staff who sign in, never for visitors. Expire after 2 hours without activity.

Before launch, confirm whether the hosting provider sets any cookies for visitors, and add them here.

Optional

Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the website, so we can improve it. Not used at present.
Marketing: used to show relevant advertising on other websites. Not used at present.

4. Your choices

When you first visit the website, a banner lets you:

Accept all cookies;
Reject non-essential cookies, keeping only the strictly necessary ones;
Customize your choice for each kind of optional cookie.

Optional cookies stay off until you accept them. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time, as easily as you gave it, using Cookie settings at the foot of every page, or the button at the top of this page. If you withdraw consent, we stop using those cookies and delete the ones we can.

We keep your choice for 12 months, then ask again. We also ask again if we change the kinds of cookies we use.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the website may not work as expected.

5. Other websites

Links to other websites, such as Google Maps for our branch locations, open those websites only when you select them. Those websites may set their own cookies, under their own policies.

6. Changes to this policy

We update this policy when the cookies we use change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
