Cookies Policy
INFOTECH SERVICE FZ-LLC Cookies and Other Local Storage Technologies Policy
Effective Date: 28 October 2025
This policy explains what cookies and other local storage technologies are, how we use them, the types we use, how third-parties might use them on our website, and your choices regarding these technologies.
What are Cookies and Other Local Storage Technologies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and to remember your preferences. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
Other Local Storage: Technologies refer to various methods that websites can use to store data directly in your browser or on your device beyond traditional cookies. These include:
Local Storage (Web Storage): Allows websites to store data persistently on your browser, meaning it remains even after you close your browser or restart your computer, until you manually clear it.
Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but the data is cleared when you close your browser session.
IndexedDB and Web SQL: More powerful client-side databases for storing larger amounts of structured data.
Service Workers/Cache API: Used by progressive web apps (PWAs) to cache resources for offline access and improve performance.
Like cookies, these technologies are used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, and store user-specific data. The principles of the ePrivacy Directive and PDPL/GDPR regarding consent and transparency apply to the use of all these technologies.
How We Use Cookies and Other Local Storage Technologies
We use these technologies for various purposes, including:
To enable certain functions of the website, ensuring core features work correctly.

To manage your consent preferences regarding the use of these technologies, remembering your choices.
For security purposes, protecting our website and users from malicious activity.
Types of Cookies and Other Local Storage Technologies We Use
We categorize the cookies and other storage technologies used on our website as follows:
Strictly Necessary Technologies (Essential). These technologies are essential for the operation of our website and enable you to navigate around it and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or completing transactions. Without these, the website cannot function correctly. Consent is not required for these technologies.

Preference Technologies (Functionality)
These technologies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog.
Examples: Language preference cookies, currency selection cookies, local storage for UI preferences.

Examples: Google Analytics cookies, other analytics tools that might use local storage or session storage.

Marketing/Advertising Technologies
These technologies 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 and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may remember that you have visited a website and share this information with other organizations, such as advertisers.
Examples: Google Ads cookies, Clutch.co.
Data Collected: Browse history, interests, demographic data (aggregated).
Purpose: Targeted advertising, remarketing, ad campaign measurement.
Duration: Persistent for a specific period.
Provider: Third-party providers (e.g., Google, Clutch.co).
Third-Party Technologies
In addition to our own technologies, we may also use various third-party cookies and other local storage mechanisms. These are often related to embedded content, external services, or advertising partners.
Examples of Third-Party Cookies identified:
__cf_bm and cf_clearance from .clutch.co: These cookies appear to be used for security purposes by a service like Cloudflare (often associated with .cf_bm and cf_clearance) to distinguish between legitimate users and malicious bots, enhancing website security and performance.
General Third-Party Examples:
• Social media plugins (e.g., LinkedIn, Twitter) might set cookies or use local storage for login status or sharing.
• Video hosting services (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo) might use local storage for playback preferences.
• Advertising networks (e.g., LinkedIn, Youtube) for personalized ads.
• We have reviewed the privacy and data handling policies of these third-party providers.
Other Technologies (Potentially Used or Monitored for)
Private Site Tokens (e.g., Amazon.com and any other cloud services): While not actively used by INFOTECH SERVICE FZ-LLC, these are examples of specific site-bound tokens that can be stored in browser storage by third-party services you interact with.
Shared Storage: This is an emerging web platform API that allows cross-site storage of aggregated, privacy-preserving data. While "Not yet created" for INFOTECH SERVICE FZ-LLC, its potential future use would also fall under these regulations.
Frames (Permitted APIs): The "frames" information you provided indicates the various browser APIs that might be available or restricted within different contexts (e.g., cross-origin isolation). While not directly a storage mechanism, the use of certain APIs can impact how data is handled or accessed.
