This Cookie Policy explains how Sparq Technologies LLC FZ (“Sparq”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at https://sparq.ae/ and on our online platform (“Platform”). It applies to everyone who visits or uses the Platform, whether or not they have an account.
This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect personal data.
1. What cookies and similar technologies do
1.1 Cookies are small files stored on or accessed through your device. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and other identifiers that help operate the Platform, protect accounts, remember choices or measure use.
1.2 Some technologies collect personal data. Our Privacy Policy explains the relevant processing, recipients, international transfers and your privacy rights.
2. Categories and purposes
2.1 Strictly necessary technologies enable functions such as sign-in, session management, security, fraud prevention, payment flows and remembering privacy choices. They are used only to the extent necessary for these purposes and may operate without optional consent where legally permitted.
2.2 Functional technologies remember optional preferences or features. Analytics technologies help us understand visits, performance and Platform use. Advertising or targeting technologies, if introduced, may measure campaigns or personalise promotions. The technologies actually deployed, rather than these illustrative categories, determine what we use.
2.3 Optional analytics, advertising or profiling involving children will be subject to any additional restrictions, age-appropriate safeguards and permissions required by applicable law. We do not treat acceptance of the Member Terms or Guardian Consent as blanket permission for optional tracking.
3. Choices and consent
3.1 Where consent is required, non-essential technologies will remain disabled until you make an informed, affirmative choice. Our cookie controls will allow you to accept or reject optional technologies and manage categories without preselected optional choices. We will not make access to core services conditional on agreeing to optional tracking unless lawfully necessary.
3.2 We will maintain appropriate records of consent and preferences where required. Optional cookie consent will be separate from acceptance of the Member Terms, Partner Terms and Guardian Consent, and from any separate marketing permissions.
4. Technologies used on the Platform
4.1 The cookies and similar technologies used by the Platform are described below, including their provider, purpose, category, duration and applicable choices. This information will be updated as the technologies in use change.
4.2 Where third parties use technologies through the Platform, we will identify their role and link to relevant information where appropriate. Any associated personal-data sharing or overseas access must be consistent with our Privacy Policy.
5. Contact and changes
5.1 For questions about cookies or personal data, contact privacy@sparq.ae.
5.2 We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, purposes or legal requirements change. We will provide further notice or request fresh consent where required by applicable law.
