Cookie and Device Storage Policy

1. What this policy covers#

1.1 This policy explains what the Platform stores on your device and reads back from it. These are four different things, and this policy keeps them apart:

• cookies — small text files saved by your browser, used only on the website;
• local storage and session storage — space the browser gives a site to keep small pieces of data;
• app storage on your phone — the app's own storage. It is not a cookie, and no cookie is used inside the app;
• the notification token — an identifier the mobile app registers with us so notifications can reach your device.

1.2 It supplements the Privacy Policy, which governs personal data generally.

1.3 The controller for the technologies described here is FAWRAN LLC, operating under the trade name FAWRAN. Its details are in the Privacy Policy and in the “Operator and contact details” section at the foot of this document.

2. What the website stores in your browser#

2.1 Needed for the service to work#

This category cannot be switched off from inside the Platform, because it is what makes the service work. You can block it in your browser settings, but doing so will break sign-in, the cart and checkout.

2.2 Kept only on your device, and never sent to us#

None of the six above is uploaded to Fawran or attached to your account. They exist so the interface remembers what you were doing.

2.3 Measuring sponsored placements inside Fawran#

2.3.1 These are internal placements. We show Items and offers from within Fawran, and we place no third-party advertising network on the Platform that follows you across other sites.

3. What the mobile app stores on your device#

3.1 The app does not use browser cookies. It uses its own on-device storage instead:

3.2 The system permissions the app requests — camera, photo library, location, notifications — and the purpose of each are set out in the Privacy Policy and in the app's store listing.

4. How to control it#

4.1 From inside the Platform#

• Language: change it with the language switcher; the stored value updates.
• Market: change it with the market selector.
• Search history: remove a single entry, or clear the whole list, from the search box.
• Cart and wishlist: empty them, and the stored value goes with them.
• Notifications: turn categories on or off in account settings — see the Communications and Marketing Preferences Policy.

4.2 From your browser#

Every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies, clear local storage, and browse in a private window.

4.3 From your phone#

In your phone's system settings you can turn notifications off and withdraw the camera, photo-library and location permissions. Clearing the app's storage, or uninstalling it, removes everything in section 3.

5. Legal footing#

5.1 The categories in 2.1 and 3.1 are processed in order to provide the service you requested, and there is no separate switch for them because the service cannot run without them.

5.2 The values in 2.2 never leave your device, so no transfer of personal data takes place at all.

5.3 The placement identifier in 2.3 is used to bill and measure placements inside the Platform, on the footing set out in section 4 of the Privacy Policy. You may object to it under Article 4(B)(6) of the Personal Data Protection Law No. (24) of 2023 by writing to the privacy contact address.

5.4 Withdrawing a consent does not make what happened before it unlawful, and it carries no financial or contractual consequence for you, under Article 4(C) of the Law.

6. Other parties that may set identifiers#

Those providers, and what they process, are set out in section 6 of the Privacy Policy.

7. Durations, and changes to this policy#

7.1 Session values end when the tab is closed or the session expires. Persistent values remain until you delete them or they expire.

7.2 We do not use persistent identifiers for cross-site tracking.

7.3 When a new technology or provider is added, we update the tables above and publish a new version with a number and an effective date, recorded in the policy changelog.

8. Version history#
