Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Novaaaar Real Estate UAE (“Novaaaar,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website or use our digital services.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other devices when you visit a website or use a mobile application. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.

Cookies set directly by our website are known as first-party cookies. Cookies set by external service providers are known as third-party cookies.

Third-party cookies enable features or functionality such as advertising, analytics, performance measurement, interactive content, and social media sharing. These third parties may recognize your device both when it visits our website and when it visits other websites that use their services.

What about other tracking technologies?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors or users of our Services. We may use from time to time other similar technologies such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”), or JavaScript (placed within the code of our website, which activate when you request an HTML page with JavaScript in it).

Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable your device to be recognised. Like cookies, they may enable us to recognise when someone has visited or used our Services, clicked certain links, or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. These technologies allow us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve website performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns.

Other technologies include advertising identifiers which are unique identifiers stored on your device and which enable your device to be recognised by us and third parties for personalised advertising and ad measurement purposes. If you use an Apple device, your advertising identifier is referred to as an “IDFA”. If you use an Android device, your advertising identifier is referred to as a “GAID”.

If you wish to opt out of the use of these tracking pixels please adjust your browser settings or refer to the section “How can I control cookies?” below. Please note that in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will often impair their functioning.

Interest-based advertising (IBA)

Interest-based advertising (IBA) allows us to deliver targeted advertising to users of our Services. IBA works by showing you advertisements that are based on the type of content you access or read. For example, as you browse our services, one of the cookies placed on your device will be an advertising cookie so we can better understand what sort of pages or content you are interested in. The information collected about your device enables us to group you with other devices that have shown similar interests. We can then display advertising to categories of users that is based on common interests.

If you want to opt out of receiving interest-based advertising, it does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising when you are using our Services. It just means that we will not use information collected about you for IBA and that any advertising you see will not be customized or relevant to you. Please note that if you delete cookies, use a different device, or change web browsers, you may need to opt out again.

Mobile devices have an identifier that gives companies the ability to serve targeted ads to a specific mobile device. In many cases, you can turn off mobile device ad tracking or you can reset the advertising identifier at any time within your mobile device privacy settings. You may also choose to turn off location tracking on your mobile device. If you turn off ad tracking or location tracking, we will no longer use information collected from your device’s advertising identifier for the purposes of advertising. You may still see the same number of ads, but they may be less relevant because they will not be based on your interests.

Third party advertisers

We allow third party advertising networks to serve advertisements on our behalf. Third party advertisers may place cookies on the browsers of visitors to its website(s) and may send its own cookies to the visitors’ cookie file. The cookies will allow these third-party advertisers to apply their personalized retargeting technology and to serve personalized advertisements. Please note that third party advertisers will have their own privacy policies, and these will be available on their websites.

Updates to this Cookie Notice

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will take appropriate measures to notify you, consistent with the significance of the changes we make in accordance with applicable laws.

The date at the top of this Cookie Notice indicates when it was last updated.
