Cookie policy

This Cookie Policy explains cookies and similar technologies in connection with westernsahara.com, operated by Western Sahara LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, phone, or other device. They can help websites function, remember preferences, and collect information about how visitors interact with content.

Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and scripts that store information on, or access information from, your device. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where relevant.

Cookies may be set by the website you visit, known as first-party cookies, or by another provider, known as third-party cookies.

2. Cookie purposes

The cookies relevant to a website depend on its features and technical configuration. The following descriptions explain common purposes and do not mean that westernsahara.com uses every category.

Essential cookies support functions such as security, maintaining a session, delivering requested services, and remembering privacy choices.

Preference cookies remember choices, such as language or display settings.

Analytics cookies collect information about visits and interactions to help understand website performance and improve content.

Advertising cookies may track activity to select advertisements or measure their effectiveness.

A cookie’s purpose, rather than its label alone, determines whether consent is required under applicable law.

3. Consent and your choices

Where applicable law requires consent, our policy is to obtain it before storing or accessing cookies covered by that requirement.

Simply visiting the website, continuing to browse, or reading this policy does not constitute consent to optional cookies.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before withdrawal.

If website privacy controls are presented to you, use them to make or change your choices. You may also contact contact@westernsahara.com with questions about cookie preferences or withdrawal of consent.

4. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to inspect stored cookies, delete them, block certain cookies, or set preferences for individual websites. Instructions are available in your browser’s help or privacy settings.

Blocking cookies may affect features that depend on them. Deleting cookies may also remove saved preferences, including a previously recorded cookie choice.

Browser controls are additional tools for managing your device. They do not replace any obligation we have to obtain consent where required.

5. Third-party content and links

If a page includes content supplied by another provider, such as an embedded video, that provider may use cookies or similar technologies when the content loads or you interact with it. Any such integration must respect applicable consent requirements.

Following an external link takes you to a separate website whose cookie and privacy practices are described in its own policies.

6. How long cookies remain

Session cookies generally expire when your browsing session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry date or until you delete them, subject to your browser’s settings.

Cookie lifetimes and the retention of information collected through cookies are separate matters. Deleting a cookie does not necessarily delete information already collected.

7. Personal information

Information collected through cookies may qualify as personal information, including device identifiers and browsing activity linked to an individual.

Our Privacy Policy explains our approach to personal information, including its use, protection, and your rights under applicable law.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to website features, technology, or legal requirements. Updates will appear on this page with a revised date.

Updating this policy does not, by itself, provide consent for a new use of cookies.
