Privacy Policy

Introduction

UAE Fertility Guide ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website https://www.uaefertility.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. We have written this in plain language because we believe privacy policies should be understandable.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

If you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us via email, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, such as your email address and any message content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use two categories of cookies:

Necessary Cookies (always active): These are essential for the Site to function. They include cookies that store your cookie consent preference. These cookies do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled.

Analytics Cookies (opt-in only): If you give your explicit consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our Site. GA4 collects anonymised data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic region. Analytics cookies are only loaded after you explicitly accept them via our cookie consent banner. If you decline or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are set and no tracking occurs.

Automatically Collected Information

Our web hosting provider may automatically collect basic server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and access times. This information is used solely for maintaining the security and performance of the Site.

We have configured Google Analytics with the following privacy protections:

• IP anonymisation is enabled
