This Cookie Policy explains how Maqalat may use cookies and similar browser technologies to keep the website secure, remember preferences and support reader features.
Essential storage supports the site. Optional analytics or third-party technologies should only be enabled when they serve a clear purpose and are configured appropriately.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by your browser. Similar technologies, including local storage and session storage, can remember settings or temporary identifiers without requiring the same type of cookie.
2. Essential cookies
WordPress and Maqalat may use essential cookies for sign-in, authentication, security and session management. These technologies are necessary when you choose to use protected account or management features.
3. Preference storage
The site may remember reader preferences such as light or dark mode, saved articles, reading history or interface choices. Some of these preferences can be stored locally in your browser.
4. Reader engagement
When enabled, Maqalat may record privacy-conscious interaction events such as article views, ratings, bookmarks and reading completion to improve content and understand which features are useful.
5. Analytics
If an analytics service is enabled, it may use its own cookies or identifiers to measure site usage. The exact technologies depend on the service selected by the site administrator.
6. Third-party content
Embedded media, social links or external services can set or read their own cookies after you interact with them. Those technologies are governed by the third party’s privacy and cookie practices.
7. Managing cookies
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies and site storage. Blocking essential cookies may prevent sign-in or other requested features from working correctly.
8. Retention
Session cookies may expire when the browser session ends, while preference or account cookies can remain longer. Retention periods vary according to the purpose of each feature and the configuration of WordPress or connected services.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when new site functionality, analytics or third-party services are introduced.
10. Contact
