This Cookie Policy explains how VELAR Center uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device and remember preferences across visits.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, language preference (English / 中文 / العربية), and cookie consent. The website cannot function properly without them. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and cannot be disabled.
2.2 Analytics cookies
If enabled, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website (which pages are most visited, how visitors arrive, average time on site). This helps us improve the website and the information we provide. Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not directly identify individual visitors. Where we use third-party analytics services, those services may set their own cookies subject to their privacy policies.
2.3 Functional cookies
These cookies remember your preferences (such as preferred language) to provide a personalised experience on return visits. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
2.4 Marketing and tracking cookies
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies that track you across other websites. If this changes in the future, this Policy will be updated and your consent will be sought before such cookies are placed.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some pages may include content or services from third parties that may set their own cookies, such as:
- Google Fonts — for typography (no personal data is collected by Google for this use)
- Analytics providers (where applicable) — for aggregated traffic insight
- Embedded media or maps — if you interact with an embedded map or media player
We have no control over cookies set by third parties; please refer to their respective cookie policies for details.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several options to manage cookies:
- Cookie banner — when first visiting our website, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner that appears.
- Browser settings — most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Refer to your browser's help section for instructions.
- Withdraw consent — you can withdraw cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this site, which will trigger the consent banner on next visit.
Please note that disabling some cookies may affect your experience on the website.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
