Cookie Policy
Last updated 1 March 2026. This policy explains how The Butler uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on thebutler.ae.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language and whether you are signed in.
Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for the site to function. These include session tokens that keep you signed in and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery. These cannot be disabled.
Preference Cookies
Remember your settings such as language selection (EN/AR) and theme preference (light/dark). Stored in localStorage rather than cookies.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how readers use the site — which articles are read, how long visitors stay, and which categories are most popular. Data is aggregated and anonymous.
Affiliate Tracking
When you click a product link, affiliate networks may set cookies to attribute any resulting purchase to The Butler. This is how we earn commissions that fund our editorial work.
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality — you may be unable to stay signed in or receive personalised content. For analytics opt-out, contact privacy@thebutler.ae.
