Cookie Policy
Version 1.0. Effective from the date of publication.
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) used on getsabbaq.com, app.getsabbaq.com and admin.getsabbaq.com by Waseem Anjum, trading as Sabbaq, operated from Lahore, Pakistan, serving Dubai/UAE.
1. Our approach
- Website (getsabbaq.com): no cookies are set before you make a choice. Google Analytics 4 is off by default and sets cookies only if you click Accept. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie.
- We also measure the website with Umami (self-hosted) and Cloudflare Web Analytics. Neither uses cookies.
- App (app.getsabbaq.com): only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and remember your preferences.
- Admin (admin.getsabbaq.com): used by Sabbaq staff only.

5. Videos and links to other sites
- Demo video: we use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). The video loads only when you click play; before that, only a preview image is shown. Once it plays, YouTube may use local storage in your browser under Google's policies.
- Booking a demo: our booking button is a plain link to Calendly's website. Calendly sets no cookies on our sites; on Calendly's own site, its cookie policy applies.
6. Your choices
- The banner lets you accept or reject analytics cookies. Rejecting does not limit your use of the site.
- To change your choice, clear this site's data (including the saved sabbaq_consent setting) in your browser; the banner will appear again on your next visit.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Strictly necessary cookies are needed to sign in to the app.
7. Legal basis
We set strictly necessary cookies and storage because they are needed for the service you ask for. We use analytics cookies only with your consent, under the UAE PDPL and, for visitors in the EU, the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules.
8. Changes and contact
We update this policy whenever we change the cookies we use. If we add new categories of cookies, we will ask for consent again. Questions: [email protected].
