Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language or login status — making your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies cannot carry viruses or install malware on your device.

Similar technologies include local storage and session storage(data stored in your browser's local memory), which function similarly to cookies.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information.

• Session management — short-lived cookies that maintain your session state during a visit (e.g. form submissions). Expire when you close your browser.
• Security tokens — used to protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Expire at the end of your session.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance the functionality and personalisation of our site. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use.

• Preference storage — remembers settings such as reduced-motion preferences or accepted notification states. Duration: up to 12 months.

2.3 Analytics Cookies

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand how visitors use our website — which pages are visited most, how long visitors stay, and how they navigate. All data is aggregated and anonymised; no individual is identified.

• Page view analytics — records anonymised page visits and session duration. No cross-site tracking. IP addresses are anonymised before storage. Duration: up to 24 months in aggregated form.

We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any third-party advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.

2.4 Third-Party Cookies

Our website uses Google Fonts (loaded via CSS at build time). Google may set cookies or record requests when fonts are loaded. We have configured font loading to use display: swap and preload, which minimises external requests. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for more information.

3. What We Do Not Do

• We do not use cookies for advertising or retargeting;
• We do not share cookie data with data brokers or advertising networks;
• We do not use cookies to build behavioural profiles;
• We do not use fingerprinting or supercookies.

4. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Under Moroccan Law No. 09-08 and the EU ePrivacy Directive (as applicable to EEA visitors):

• Strictly necessary cookies — no consent required; these are essential for basic site operation;
• Functional and analytics cookies — placed only with your consent, obtained via our cookie banner on your first visit.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website and other sites you visit.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our website honours DNT signals — when DNT is enabled, we disable all non-essential cookies automatically.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices evolve or as regulatory requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. For significant changes, we will reset cookie consent to give you an opportunity to review the new policy.
