Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 4, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Al Atheer Coffee uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies help us provide you with a better website experience.

3. Cookies We Use

We use only essential authentication cookies and local storage items that are necessary for our website to function properly:

Authentication Token Cookie

A secure HTTP-only cookie containing your authentication token to keep you logged in during your session. This cookie is essential for accessing your account and personalized features.

Security attributes: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, Path=/

Duration: 2 hours for regular sessions, 30 days when 'Remember Me' is selected

localStorage Backup

We store your authentication token and expiration timestamp in localStorage as a backup to ensure uninterrupted service during page refreshes and browser restarts.

Stored items: token, token_expires_at

Guest Address Storage

For guest users, we temporarily store addresses in localStorage. This data is automatically transferred to your account when you sign up and then deleted.

Stored item: guest_addresses (temporary)

4. How We Use Cookies and Storage

We use cookies and localStorage exclusively for authentication and basic functionality. The authentication token cookie keeps you logged in, while localStorage provides backup storage to ensure seamless access during page refreshes. Guest address storage helps preserve your shopping progress until you create an account.

• Authentication: Maintain your login session across page requests
• Backup Storage: Ensure service continuity during browser restarts
• Guest Experience: Preserve shopping data before account creation

5. Managing Cookies and Storage

Since we only use essential authentication cookies and localStorage, blocking them will prevent you from logging in or using our services. You can clear your authentication data by logging out, which removes the authentication cookie and localStorage items. Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings, typically found in 'Options' or 'Preferences'. You can also clear localStorage manually through your browser's developer tools.

• Logout: Click the logout button to remove all authentication data
• Browser Settings: Control cookies through your browser preferences
• Developer Tools: Clear localStorage manually (Advanced users)

6. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use any third-party cookies on our website. All cookies and storage mechanisms we use are first-party and directly controlled by us. This means we don't use tracking services, advertising networks, or analytics platforms that would place third-party cookies on your device.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our business practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
