Cookies: Can I control and disallow cookies on my device? What are HTTP Cookies – Cookies: A cookie is a small data file that websites store on your personal computer. These files contain only data in the form of text - and do not contain anything that could cause harm to your computer.

Cookies are used to store and remember information related to website users so that they can improve the user's experience when they visit again later. There are two types of cookies. The first is activated only while you are on the site - these cookies are called “session” and after you leave the site this session is deleted, while others are stored on your computer even when you log off from the site and these files are reactivated only after you return to the site - and these cookies are called “persistent cookies”. Cookies can either be restricted to the domain/domain of the site you visited – these are called “first party cookies”.

Or the cookies on your site are assigned to a third domain/domain, and this process is often for the purpose of generating statistics – this type is known as “third party cookies”. We, at the Arabic SEO Institute, collect this information about users with the aim of improving our services and the methods of displaying our topics in the future. It is worth noting that there is a law in force in European countries that requires the user’s consent to collect this information, which European law considers to be personal freedom, and the visitor must be aware of this practice, which is not recognized by users in normal browsing situations. Hence, Google launched the “Cookiechoices” initiative under the slogan “Helping publishers with cookie consent – Helping publishers by agreeing to cookies.”

Can I control and disallow cookies on my device? Yes, you certainly have complete freedom to allow or disallow the use of these files or download them on your device.
