Cookie Policy
Last updated: [DATE OF PUBLICATION]
Mahazen.digital, operated by Mahazen Labs (PVT) Ltd, uses cookies to make our website work as expected, to remember your preferences, and to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can manage them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, serve a similar purpose, and this policy uses the word "cookies" to cover them all.
2. What We Use Cookies For
- Essential: keeping administrators signed in and protecting the site.
- Preferences: remembering your language selection.
- Analytics: measuring how visitors use our pages so we can improve them.
3. Cookies We Use
The list below sets out the main cookies set on this website. The exact names and durations may change as our services are updated.
- mahazen_session (Essential). Stores an encrypted session for administrators who sign in to the admin panel. It is needed only for admin access and does not track visitors.
- NEXT_LOCALE (Preferences). Remembers the language you chose on the site.
- _ga and _ga_* (Analytics). Set by Google Analytics to distinguish visitors and measure page views and sessions.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics is provided by Google, which sets its cookies on our behalf. Google's use of information is described in its privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. We do not control cookies set by third parties, so please refer to their policies for details.
5. Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them, and allow us to recognise you on return visits. The duration of each cookie is shown in your browser's cookie settings.
6. How to Control Cookies
You can accept, reject, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block cookies from specific sites or set alerts when a cookie is placed. Note that blocking essential cookies will stop admin sign-in from working, and blocking analytics cookies will not affect how you use the site. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
