Cookies policy

Cookies and browser storage

Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to keep. The browser sends them back to that website with each visit, which lets sites recognise a returning device or follow it across pages.

Browser storage is a separate space where a site can keep short notes on your device. Unlike cookies, these notes are not sent to our server with your requests. They stay in your browser and only our pages can read them.

Cookies we set

This website does not place any cookies of its own on your device, so we use no cookies for advertising, tracking or building a profile of your visits.

What we keep in your browser

We use browser storage only for these notes, so the site behaves the way you left it:

• Your language preference, so the site can show pages in English or Arabic as you chose. This note stays until you clear it.
• Whether the opening animation on the home page has already played during this visit, so it does not play every time you return there. This note is deleted when you close the browser tab.
• A draft of the contact form while you write it, so a reload or a visit to another page in the same tab does not lose your words. After you send a message, only your name, contact details and company stay in it. The draft is deleted when you close the browser tab.

What this storage means for you

The language and animation notes contain nothing that identifies you. The draft holds only what you typed into the form, and its contents reach us only if you send the form. We cannot read any of these notes from our server, and we do not share them with anyone.

If you block or clear browser storage, the website still works in full. The opening animation may play again, you may need to choose your language again, and an unsent draft is lost.

Google Maps

Where a page offers an interactive map, it stays switched off until you select Show interactive map. Until then, nothing on the page connects to Google.

When you open the map, it loads from Google, and Google may set its own cookies in your browser. Those cookies are controlled by Google and covered by Google’s privacy policy, not by this one. Select Hide map to close it again.

The Open in Google Maps link takes you to Google’s own website, where Google’s cookie rules apply.

How to clear cookies and storage

You can delete the data this site keeps, and any Google cookies, at any time through your browser settings. Menu names change between versions, so treat these paths as a guide:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data, then tick Cookies and other site data.
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Manage Data, then remove sebarysara.com.
• Safari on Mac: Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data, then remove sebarysara.com.
• Safari on iPhone and iPad: open the Settings app, find Safari, then Advanced > Website Data.
• Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data, then tick Cookies and other site data.
• Any browser: a private or incognito window deletes its cookies and storage as soon as you close it.

Changes to this policy

If the website starts to store anything new on your device, we will update this page and the date shown at the top.
