Cookies Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookies Policy (“Policy”) explains how Ketrone (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, https://www.ketrone.io/ (the “Website”).

This Policy has been established in compliance with United Arab Emirates (UAE) Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (“UAE PDPL”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding our data processing practices.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed and stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting and analytical information.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies used on our Website into two distinct categories:

3.1. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are technically necessary for the Website to function, provide secure connections, and deliver the services you explicitly request. Because these cookies are essential for the operation and security of the Website, they do not require your prior consent under Article 4 and Article 6 of the UAE PDPL. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website will not function as a result.

3.2. Performance and Analytics Cookies (Non-Essential)

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Website. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, how visitors move around the site, and if they encounter any errors. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymized. These cookies are non-essential and will only be placed on your device if you provide your explicit, affirmative consent.

4. Third-Party & Analytics Cookies

To support our operations, detect fraud, and secure our systems, we partner with trusted third-party providers who may place cookies or unique identifiers on your device. These tracking technologies are used for:

•          Anonymized analytics to measure site usage;

•          Security and fraud detection to protect both you and our Website; and

•          Technical service synchronization.

These third-party cookies are non-essential and require your prior opt-in consent before they are deployed on your device. We only partner with third-party service providers that maintain strict data protection standards aligned with the UAE PDPL.

5. Cookie Consent & Your Choices

Under the UAE PDPL, your consent to the processing of personal data via non-essential cookies must be clear, specific, and unambiguous.

•          No Browse-Wrap Consent: We do not rely on passive browse-wrap consent. Continuing to browse, navigate, or use our Website does not constitute consent to the placement of non-essential cookies.

•          Prior Opt-In Required: Non-essential cookies (including performance, analytics, and third-party tracking cookies) are disabled by default. They will only be activated and placed on your device if you explicitly opt-in by clicking “Accept” or selecting your preferences on our Cookie Consent Banner when you first visit our Website.

•          Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the absolute right to withdraw or modify your cookie consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not restrict your access to the core functionalities of our Website. You can manage and adjust your consent settings at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our Website.

6. How to Manage and Disable Cookies

In addition to using our Website’s built-in preference center, you can control and manage cookies through your web browser’s settings. Most web browsers allow you to:

•          View the cookies stored on your device and delete them individually or collectively;

•          Block third-party cookies;

•          Block cookies from specific websites;

•          Block all cookies from being set; and

•          Clear all cookies when you close your browser.

To manage your cookies through your browser, please visit your browser’s help menu or settings page (e.g., Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge). Please note that if you disable all cookies (including strictly necessary cookies) via your browser settings, you may not be able to access or use certain parts or features of our Website.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations under the UAE PDPL. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date at the top. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
