  1. What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small data file that a website or digital service may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit or use that service.

Cookies can perform different functions.

For example, they may:

  • Enable websites to operate correctly;
  • Maintain secure login sessions;
  • Remember user preferences;
  • Help protect accounts against fraud or misuse;
  • Understand how people use a website;
  • Measure website performance;
  • Personalise certain features; or
  • Support advertising or marketing where permitted.

Some cookies remain only during your browsing session, while others remain on your device for a defined period.

  1. Similar Technologies

This policy also applies, where relevant, to technologies that perform functions similar to cookies.

These may include:

  • Pixels;
  • Tags;
  • Web beacons;
  • Local storage;
  • Software development kits;
  • Tracking technologies;
  • Device identifiers;
  • Analytics technologies; and
  • Similar mechanisms used to store or retrieve information from a user's device.

For simplicity, we refer to these collectively as "cookies" in this policy unless otherwise stated.

  1. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies may be either first-party cookies or third-party cookies.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by CADREMY or on CADREMY's behalf through the website or service you are using.

They may support functions such as account login, security, language preferences and platform operation.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by another organisation whose technology or service is integrated into CADREMY.

Depending upon the services CADREMY uses, these could include providers of:

  • Analytics;
  • Video content;
  • Learning systems;
  • CRM functionality;
  • Communications;
  • Advertising;
  • Social media;
  • Payment processing;
  • Opportunity services; or
  • Other technology.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies where they act independently from CADREMY.

  1. Session and Persistent Cookies

Cookies may also be classified according to how long they remain on your device.

Session Cookies

Session cookies normally operate during a single browsing session and are deleted when the browser is closed.

They may be used for functionality such as secure account sessions.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed until they expire or are deleted.

They may be used to remember preferences, consent choices or other settings between visits.

  1. Categories of Cookies Used by CADREMY

CADREMY may use the following categories of cookies.

7.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation, security or essential functionality of CADREMY's digital services.

They may be necessary to:

  • Keep the website functioning;
  • Maintain secure sessions;
  • Authenticate users;
  • Prevent fraud or malicious activity;
  • Protect the platform against cyber threats;
  • Remember essential privacy choices;
  • Enable account functionality;
  • Balance website traffic; or
  • Complete services specifically requested by a user.

Because these cookies are necessary to provide the relevant service, they may operate without optional consent were permitted by applicable law.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies through your browser may prevent parts of CADREMY from functioning correctly.

7.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies may enable additional features or remember choices you make.

These may include:

  • Language preferences;
  • Display preferences;
  • Saved settings;
  • Accessibility preferences;
  • Location or regional preferences; and
  • Other convenience features.

Where applicable law requires consent for these cookies, they will not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.

7.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies help CADREMY understand how people use our websites and services.

They may help us understand information such as:

  • The number of visitors;
  • Which pages are visited;
  • How users navigate between pages;
  • How long users interact with certain content;
  • Website performance;
  • Technical errors;
  • Approximate traffic sources; and
  • Whether improvements to the user journey are effective.

CADREMY may use this information to improve:

  • Website performance;
  • User experience;
  • Sales funnels;
  • Accessibility;
  • Platform functionality;
  • Content; and
  • Service delivery.

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies will only operate after appropriate consent has been provided.

7.4 Personalisation Cookies

CADREMY may use personalisation technologies to tailor aspects of the service to the user.

Depending upon future platform functionality, this could include:

  • Content recommendations;
  • Learning recommendations;
  • Opportunity recommendations;
  • Preferred user journeys; or
  • Other personalised experiences.

Where such technologies involve personal data, profiling or non-essential device storage, CADREMY will apply the appropriate privacy and consent requirements.

Personalisation cookies should not be confused with CADREMY's broader AI and Digital Capability Profile systems, which are addressed separately in the CADREMY Privacy Policy.

7.5 Advertising and Marketing Cookies

CADREMY may use advertising or marketing technologies to understand whether campaigns are effective or to deliver relevant promotional content.

These technologies may help measure:

  • Advertising campaign effectiveness;
  • Conversions;
  • Referral sources;
  • Campaign engagement;
  • Marketing attribution; and
  • Interactions with CADREMY promotions.

Where legally required, marketing and advertising cookies will not be placed until you have provided appropriate consent.

CADREMY will not treat continued browsing alone as affirmative consent where applicable law requires an active choice.

7.6 Social Media and Embedded Content

CADREMY may include content or functionality from external services such as:

  • Video platforms;
  • Social media platforms;
  • Maps;
  • Webinars;
  • Embedded forms;
  • Third-party learning content; or
  • Other integrated services.

Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies when their content is loaded or used.

Where required, CADREMY will seek to prevent non-essential third-party tracking technologies from loading until the user has provided the relevant consent.

  1. Why CADREMY Uses Cookies

CADREMY may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:

  • Providing essential website functionality;
  • Maintaining user accounts;
  • Authenticating users;
  • Protecting accounts and platform security;
  • Preventing fraud;
  • Remembering user preferences;
  • Remembering cookie choices;
  • Improving performance;
  • Understanding how users navigate the platform;
  • Identifying technical problems;
  • Improving CADREMY's sales funnels and user journeys;
  • Measuring campaigns;
  • Improving content;
  • Supporting integrated services; and
  • Providing optional personalised or marketing functionality where permitted.

CADREMY will seek to use cookies in a manner proportionate to the purpose for which they are required.

  1. Cookies and Personal Data

Some cookies may collect or generate information that constitutes personal data.

This can include information such as:

  • IP address;
  • Device identifiers;
  • Browser information;
  • Cookie identifiers;
  • Session identifiers;
  • Account identifiers;
  • Website activity;
  • Referral information;
  • Approximate location information;
  • Interaction history; and
  • Other information capable of being associated with an identifiable person.

Where cookies involve personal data, that information will be processed in accordance with the CADREMY Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

  1. Cookie Consent

Where consent is legally required, CADREMY will seek to obtain that consent before placing or activating the relevant non-essential cookies or technologies.

Users should be able to make meaningful choices between categories of non-essential cookies.

Depending upon applicable law and the service being used, the CADREMY cookie control may offer options including:

Accept All

Allows the permitted categories of optional cookies to operate.

Reject Non-Essential

Allows only cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation and security of the service.

Manage Preferences

Allows you to choose which optional categories you wish to permit.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required to provide essential functionality.

  1. Withdrawal and Changing Your Preferences

Where cookie processing is based upon consent, you can change or withdraw that consent.

CADREMY should provide a persistent and reasonably accessible Cookie Settings or equivalent control on its website.

Changing your preferences will prevent future use of relevant cookies where technically possible.

It may not automatically remove cookies that have already been stored on your device.

Existing cookies can usually be deleted through your browser settings.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing lawfully carried out before consent was withdrawn.

  1. Browser Controls

Most modern internet browsers allow users to control cookies.

Depending upon your browser, you may be able to:

  • View stored cookies;
  • Delete cookies;
  • Block all cookies;
  • Block third-party cookies;
  • Allow or block cookies for specific websites;
  • Delete cookies when the browser is closed; or
  • Use private or incognito browsing modes.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of CADREMY.

In particular, features requiring authentication, security controls or stored preferences may not function correctly.

  1. Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Browsers and devices may offer privacy signals such as "Do Not Track" or other preference mechanisms.

The technical and legal standards governing these signals continue to develop.

CADREMY will review recognised privacy preference mechanisms as its platform expands and will implement them where required by applicable law or where reasonably appropriate.

  1. Children and Younger Users

CADREMY may provide services to younger users and therefore applies enhanced privacy principles to technologies used in services accessible to children.

Where appropriate, CADREMY will seek to:

  • Minimise tracking of younger users;
  • Avoid unnecessary profiling;
  • Prevent unnecessary advertising cookies;
  • Apply privacy-protective settings by default;
  • Provide age-appropriate information;
  • Obtain parental or guardian involvement where required;
  • Limit unnecessary third-party technologies; and
  • Prioritise the interests and privacy of younger users.

CADREMY should not use behavioural advertising technologies involving children where such processing would be unlawful, inappropriate or inconsistent with our privacy-by-design approach.

  1. Third-Party Services

CADREMY may work with external technology providers.

Examples may include providers supporting:

  • Website hosting;
  • CRM;
  • Analytics;
  • Learning-management systems;
  • Career wallet and opportunity services;
  • Payment processing;
  • Communications;
  • Video hosting;
  • Social-media functionality;
  • Security; and
  • Marketing technology.

A third party may act as a service provider processing information on CADREMY's behalf or, in some circumstances, as an independent organisation responsible for its own processing. Where relevant, users should also review the privacy and cookie information supplied by those third parties.

  1. International Processing

Some cookie and analytics providers may operate infrastructure outside Saudi Arabia.

Where personal data collected through cookies is transferred internationally, CADREMY will seek to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data-protection requirements and the international transfer arrangements described in the CADREMY Privacy Policy.

  1. Cookie Retention

Different cookies remain active for different periods.

Some may last only for the duration of a browser session, while others may remain for a defined period.

CADREMY will seek to ensure that cookie durations are proportionate to their purpose and are not retained longer than reasonably necessary.

The specific duration of each cookie or similar technology should be maintained in CADREMY's live cookie inventory.

  1. Current Cookie Inventory

CADREMY will maintain a current inventory of cookies and similar technologies used on its website and platform.

The inventory should identify, where applicable:

Cookie/Technology Name

The technical name of the cookie or identifier

Provider

Category

Necessary, Functional, Analytics, Personalisation or Marketing

Purpose

Consent Required

  1. Changes to This Cookies Policy

CADREMY may update this Cookies Policy when:

  • Technologies change;
  • New providers are introduced;
  • Cookie purposes change;
  • Applicable laws or regulatory guidance change; or
  • CADREMY's platform develops.

The latest version will be published on the CADREMY website.

Where a material change requires new consent, CADREMY will seek that consent rather than relying solely on publication of an updated policy.
