In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies, such as web beacons and local storage, to help provide the Mubakab service to you.

Different types of cookies we use

We employ five different categories of cookies here on Mubakab, and each has a specific purpose:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are the cookies we use that are necessary for the operation or delivery of a particular feature on our website, for example page navigation and accessing secure content. Without these cookies, essential services you have asked for cannot be provided.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: We use cookies to collect information anonymously about how people use the Mubakab website, to better understand user preferences, the usage levels of our content, popularity of topics and content areas, and possible areas for improvement within the site. We use Google Analytics to help us count page views and track the flow of users through our site so we can improve our educational offerings.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies do things like remember your choices and preferences, such as what articles you have already saved or your preferred topics, in order to enrich your experience further.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: Although it is part of our mission to keep the site ad-light and user-focused, we will from time to time set cookies to deliver targeted content recommendations to you, or to provide limited promotional information about our subscription-based services.
• Third Party Cookies or Tags: Some of the tools or content delivered on the Mubakab platform (e.g., a video player or social sharing features) may set these types of cookies, generally on websites outside our control or direct influence. We ensure integrity and adherence to privacy standards through the overall level of security in such tagging, but do encourage users to check third party privacy policies when they want further information.

Third-party cookies, plugins and use of third-party content

In order to facilitate your use of Mubakab and help us to provide you with high quality legal content and information, we sometimes embed third party services, such as Google Analytics, social media sharing tools, or elements from a third-party legal database. These third party service providers may set their own cookies and collect information directly from your web browser on their own. These third party cookies are not controlled by Mubakab, and the use of these third party services is governed by the privacy policies of the relevant third parties. Please see those privacy policies for more information. Mubakab only embeds third party services from trusted third party service providers who share our respect for privacy and transparency.
