This Cookies Policy explains how The Next Dubai (“we,” “us,” or “our”), accessible at thenextdubai.com, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the owners of the site. Cookies may be “session” cookies (deleted once you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies – Required for the core functionality of the website, such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas.
Performance and analytics cookies – Help us understand how visitors interact with thenextdubai.com (e.g., which articles are most read, how long visitors stay, and which pages generate errors) so we can improve our content and user experience. We use tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose.
Functionality cookies – Remember choices you make (such as language or region) to provide a more personalized experience.
Advertising and third-party cookies – Used by advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and limit the number of times you see an ad. These cookies may track your browsing activity across other websites.

Third-Party Cookies (Advertising)

We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements on thenextdubai.com. Google and its partners may use cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site or its partners’ sites at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or www.youronlinechoices.eu (for visitors in the EU/UK).

Other third parties whose cookies may appear on our site include social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook) when content is embedded, and analytics providers.

Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

Browser settings – Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Instructions vary by browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), so check your browser’s “Help” menu.
Cookie consent banner – When you first visit thenextdubai.com, you may be shown a cookie consent notice where you can accept or manage your preferences.
Device-level controls – On mobile devices, you can adjust ad-tracking permissions in your device settings.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of thenextdubai.com and limit your access to certain features.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry-standard approach to DNT signals yet, thenextdubai.com does not currently respond to them differently from other tracking requests.

Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our advertising partners’ practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
