Introduction
This policy describes how Shoorah uses cookies. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and when providing our services. The purpose of this policy is to provide you, a user of Shoorah’s services, with clear information about the purposes for which Shoorah uses cookies and the choices you have when it comes to managing your cookie settings. We encourage you to read it carefully.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of text which are downloaded to your device, for example, when you visit a website. Cookies are useful because they allow Shoorah and our partners to uniquely recognise your device and support the continuity of your experience, for example by helping us understand your preferences or past actions.
How do we use cookies?
Cookies perform a variety of functions, such as allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your user experience. They can also help ensure that the content and experiences you see online are more relevant to your interests. Shoorah uses two main categories of cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are set by Shoorah or a third party on our behalf and are essential to enable you to use the features of our Services, such as technically delivering content or experiences, setting your privacy preferences, logging in, making payments, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, our Services cannot be provided, so they cannot be disabled.
Optional Cookies
Optional cookies may be “first party cookies” or “third party cookies.” First party cookies are set directly by Shoorah or by a third party at our request. Third party cookies are set directly by a third party or set by Shoorah at the request of a third party, such as our analytics or advertising service providers.
Cookie Types & Purposes
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential in order to enable you to use the features of our Services, such as technically delivering content, setting your privacy preferences, logging in, making payments, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, our Services cannot be provided, so they cannot be disabled.
Performance Cookies
Shoorah is dedicated to improving user experience, and we use a range of tools to help us optimise our website and platform services. To support this, we use reporting and analytics cookies to collect information about how and when users interact with our website and services.
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Services. For example, they allow us to count visits, identify how users navigate through the platform, and understand how visitors found our website. Analytics tools that use cookies to gather data for improving website performance fall into this category.
These cookies may also be used for testing designs, monitoring functionality, and ensuring a consistent user experience across devices and platforms. Additionally, we may collect information from emails or communications we send to you, including whether you opened, clicked, or forwarded content. This helps us measure communication effectiveness and provide information that is more relevant and useful to you.
This category does not include cookies used for behavioural or interest-based advertising.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow our Services to remember choices you make, such as your username, language, or region. They help us provide enhanced, personalised features and content.
For example, these cookies may remember changes you have made to customisable parts of the platform or preferences selected during previous visits. If you do not allow these cookies, some features and personalised settings may not function properly or may not be saved for future visits.
Targeting or Advertising Cookies
These cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to deliver advertisements and content that are more relevant to your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of campaigns and promotions shared by Shoorah.
These cookies may record that you have visited a website, and this information may be shared with third parties such as advertising or analytics partners. Additionally, Shoorah may share limited data with trusted partners or platforms to help market Shoorah services across other digital channels.
If you choose not to allow these cookies, you will still see advertisements, but they may be less relevant or personalised to your interests.
