At Bahrain Connect, we believe in transparency. This policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a smooth, personalized browsing experience.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies can remember your preferences, tailor content to your interests, and help us understand how you interact with our services. They play a crucial role in enhancing your online experience.
Without cookies, many features and functionalities of websites would not be available, or would require you to re-enter information every time you navigate to a new page. They are fundamental to modern web browsing, enabling everything from keeping you logged into a site to remembering items in your shopping cart.
How Bahrain Connect Uses Cookies
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. They enable core functionalities such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like accessing secure areas of the website or maintaining your login session, cannot be provided. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
Performance & Analytics Cookies
We use these cookies to collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how our website works.
Functionality Cookies
Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, a website may be able to provide you with local weather reports or traffic news by storing in a cookie the region in which you are currently located. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
Targeting & Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers.
Third-Party Cookies
In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how you use the site and ways that we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things such as how long you spend on the site or the pages you visit, which helps us to continue producing engaging content for you.
Security Cookies
These cookies are crucial for maintaining the security of our website and protecting your data from unauthorized access. They help us detect malicious activities and ensure a safe browsing environment. While often grouped with essential cookies, their specific focus on security is paramount to the integrity of our services.
