You may not have thought about how websites use data to ensure that you receive digital advertisements that are of interest to you. In order to provide you with tailored advertisements, interested parties require the collection and processing of information. This typically includes information about the devices you use (e.g. laptops and mobile phones), your location and information derived from your browsing activities. This information is collected using cookies and other similar technologies, such as tags, pixels and device identifiers, which are placed on or collected from your device when you visit a website or access content via a mobile application.

United Arab Emirates – Local Cookie Compliance

Scope. This Cookie Policy applies where this website, our cookie preference tool, or related tracking technologies are used for visitors in the United Arab Emirates or for UAE market activities.

Controller responsibility. In the UAE, Techtronic Industries Middle East & Africa FZE, Showroom No S3A1SR07, JAFZA Showrooms, PO BOX 61254, Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, acts as the controller for decisions about cookies and similar technologies used for UAE market purposes, including strictly necessary, analytics/performance, functionality and targeting cookies. Advertising, analytics and technology partners may act as separate controllers for their own processing, or as service providers processing cookie data on our instructions, depending on their role.

Cookies, consent and preferences. Strictly necessary cookies may be used to provide the website or a service you request. We will ask for clear, specific and easily accessible consent before using non-essential analytics/performance, functionality, targeting, advertising, profiling or similar tracking technologies, unless another lawful basis is available under applicable UAE law. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the cookie preference tool or by using the settings in your browser.

Tracking, advertising and AI tools. Where cookies, pixels, tags, device identifiers or similar technologies are used to measure campaigns, personalise content, build audience segments, support recommendation engines, enable AI-assisted advertising or measurement, or make profiling or other automated inferences, we will describe the relevant purposes and partner categories in the cookie tables, consent banner or privacy notice. We will require partners to use cookie-derived data only for disclosed purposes and not to receive such data for interest-based advertising, retargeting or lookalike audience creation unless applicable notice, consent and contractual requirements have been met.

Local digital compliance. We will use cookies and similar technologies for UAE market activities in a manner consistent with applicable local requirements relating to e-commerce and consumer disclosures, electronic communications, telecommunications, advertising and marketing, cybercrime and cybersecurity, website content and platform compliance. Cookie banners, preference tools and local campaign pages should be clear, accessible and not misleading, and should identify material limitations, eligibility criteria, charges or promotion conditions where relevant.

Cross-border transfers and recordkeeping. Cookie data and online identifiers may be accessed by, or shared with, group companies, technology providers, advertising partners and other service providers outside the UAE. Where this involves a transfer of personal data outside the UAE, we will use appropriate transfer mechanisms, contractual protections or consent where required, and will keep appropriate records of the categories of data transferred, recipients, purposes and safeguards. We will also maintain records of consent settings, cookie categories, partners, retention periods and material changes to tags, pixels or preference tools where relevant.

Security and retention. We and our service providers will use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect cookie data and online identifiers against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or misuse, including secure configuration of cookies, tags and pixels, access controls and restrictions on partner use. We will configure cookies to collect only what is necessary for the disclosed purposes and retain cookie data only for as long as needed for those purposes or as required by law.

Notices and user rights. UAE users may contact us using the Privacy Web Form or any other contact method identified in our UAE Privacy Policy to request information about the personal data processed through cookies, to ask for correction or deletion, to restrict or stop certain processing, to withdraw consent, to object to direct marketing or profiling, to request portability where available, or to raise a complaint. We will handle such requests in accordance with applicable UAE law. Withdrawal of consent will not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
