Cookie Policy.

This Cookie Policy explains how KURO uses cookies, pixels, tags, local storage and similar technologies on thekurocafe.com.

It should be read together with the KURO Privacy Policy.

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies may:

• allow a website to operate;
• remember preferences;
• maintain security;
• collect technical and usage information;
• measure website performance;
• measure advertising results; or
• support personalised advertising.

Some cookies are placed directly by KURO’s website. Others are placed or accessed by third-party providers.

These technologies are required to:

• deliver the website;
• protect the website and prevent misuse;
• remember your language;
• remember your cookie-consent choices;
• maintain essential sessions; or
• support core website functionality.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the KURO consent panel because the website may not function correctly without them.

They do not authorise analytics or advertising tracking.

With your consent, analytics technologies help KURO understand:

• the number of website visitors;
• pages and menu categories viewed;
• how visitors move through the website;
• which website features are used;
• technical errors;
• referring websites or campaign sources; and
• general website performance.

KURO may use Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager for these purposes.

Analytics cookies will remain disabled until consent is provided.

With your consent, KURO may use Google Ads and Meta technologies to:

• measure advertising conversions;
• understand whether a visitor arrived through an advertisement;
• attribute menu views, Get Directions actions or other website interactions to a campaign;
• prevent duplicate event reporting;
• build permitted advertising audiences; and
• improve advertising relevance and effectiveness.

These technologies may use advertising identifiers such as Google conversion identifiers, _gcl_au, _fbp or _fbc.

Advertising cookies and pixels will remain disabled until consent is provided.

The website may include content or links from Google Maps, Google Business Profile, Instagram, TikTok or other third-party services.

Those services may set cookies or collect technical data when their content loads or when you interact with it.

Where technically practical, non-essential embedded content should remain blocked or use a click-to-load placeholder until the relevant consent is provided.

The exact cookies may change when website services or provider configurations change. The live Cookie Settings panel should display the currently active providers, purposes and durations.

Typical technologies may include:

• KURO consent preference — remembers consent and category choices — up to 12 months — Necessary;
• KURO language preference — remembers Arabic or English selection — session or up to 12 months — Necessary;
• Google Tag Manager — loads approved analytics or advertising tags; GTM itself may not set a cookie — depends on loaded tag;
• Google Analytics _ga and _ga_* — website and usage analytics — commonly up to 2 years — Analytics consent;
• Google Ads _gcl_au and related identifiers — conversion measurement and advertising attribution — commonly up to 3 months — Advertising consent;
• Meta _fbp, _fbc and Pixel identifiers — advertising attribution and campaign measurement — commonly up to 3 months — Advertising consent; and
• Google Maps or embedded-content cookies — map functionality and third-party content — provider-dependent — Embedded-content consent.

Actual cookie names and durations may differ based on browser, provider and configuration.

When you first visit the website, you should be offered the following choices:

• Accept All;
• Reject Non-Essential; and
• Manage Preferences.

Rejecting non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the main website, menu, contact information or location details, although some embedded or personalised features may be unavailable.

You may change or withdraw your choices at any time through the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Most browsers allow you to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete cookies;
• block cookies;
• block third-party cookies; or
• receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

Blocking cookies through browser settings may affect website functionality.

Browser settings do not necessarily remove information already collected before cookies were disabled.

Google and Meta may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.

KURO does not control the retention or independent use of information by third-party providers where they act under their own terms.

The website should link the relevant provider names in the Cookie Settings panel to their current privacy information.

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because there is no universally accepted technical standard for all such signals, KURO primarily relies on the choices made through the Cookie Settings panel.

KURO may update this Policy when its website technologies, service providers or legal requirements change.

The revised version will be published with a new “Last updated” date.
