5. Categories of Cookies
The website may use the following categories of cookies.
5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate or to provide a feature you have specifically requested.
They may be used to:
- maintain website security.
- balance website traffic.
- remember cookie-consent choices.
- prevent spam or fraudulent form submissions.
- maintain a website session.
- support basic accessibility.
- enable contact forms; and
- provide content securely.
These cookies cannot usually be disabled through our cookie-preference tool because the website may not function properly without them.
You may be able to block them using your browser settings, but doing so may prevent parts of the website from working.
5.2 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to provide enhanced functionality and remember choices you make.
They may remember:
- language preferences
- display settings
- accessibility selections
- video-player preferences
- previously entered non-sensitive form information and
- communication or scheduling preferences
If you do not allow functional cookies, some website features may not operate as expected.
5.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the website.
They may collect information such as:
- the pages visited.
- the time spent on each page.
- the source through which a visitor reached the website.
- links and buttons selected.
- browser and device type.
- approximate geographic area.
- website errors; and
- general navigation patterns.
We may use this information to evaluate website performance, improve content and make the website easier to use.
Where required by law, analytics cookies will be placed only after you provide consent.
Information collected through analytics services may be aggregated or pseudonymous, but some providers may process identifiers such as IP addresses or device information.
5.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
Advertising and targeting cookies may be used to:
- measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
- understand whether a visitor completed an action after viewing an advertisement.
- create audience groups.
- limit how frequently an advertisement is displayed.
- personalize advertisements on third-party platforms; and
- understand visitor interests across websites.
These cookies may be placed by advertising or social-media providers.
We will use advertising or targeting cookies only where they are actually enabled on the website and, where legally required, after you provide consent.
Rejecting these cookies will not normally prevent you from using the website, although advertising shown elsewhere may be less relevant.
5.5 Social-Media Cookies
The website may include links, buttons, feeds, videos or other content connected to social-media and communication services.
These may include platforms such as:
- LinkedIn.
- Instagram.
- WhatsApp; and
- YouTube.
- Other social or communication platforms added to the website.
When you interact with an embedded feature or follow a link, the relevant platform may collect information about your device, website visit and interaction.
A social-media provider may connect this information to your account where you are logged into that service.
Social-media providers operate independently and process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
5.6 Embedded Content Cookies
Pages on the website may contain embedded content from third parties, such as:
- videos.
- maps.
- calendars.
- booking tools.
- forms.
- presentation tools.
- learning platforms.
- payment services; and
- social-media feeds.
Embedded content may behave in the same way as though you visited the third-party website directly.
The third party may place cookies, collect usage information or track your interaction with its embedded content.
Where technically possible and legally required, non-essential embedded content may remain blocked until you provide consent.
5.7 Form, Spam-Prevention and Security Cookies
When you submit an inquiry, newsletter request or other form, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:
- confirm that the submission came from a genuine user
- prevent automated spam
- protect the website against malicious activity
- maintain form functionality
- remember form progress and
- help diagnose failed submissions
Security or spam-prevention providers may receive technical information such as IP address, browser details, device information and interaction data.
6. Session and Persistent Cookies
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.
Session Cookies
Session cookies operate only while your browser remains open. They are normally deleted when you close the browser.
They may be used to:
- maintain a secure session.
- support navigation; or
- preserve temporary form or website information.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device after the browser is closed.
They remain until:
- their stated expiry date.
- they are replaced.
- you withdraw consent where applicable; or
- you delete them manually.
Persistent cookies may be used to remember preferences, consent selections or returning visitor information.
7. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by the emplify website.
They may support:
- core website operation.
- consent management.

emplify does not directly control how an independent third party uses its cookies. You should review the relevant provider’s privacy and cookie notices.

9. WordPress and Website-Platform Cookies
The website may be built or managed using WordPress and related website plugins.
WordPress, the website theme, page builder, security tools and other plugins may place cookies for purposes such as:
- website administration.
- authentication.
- security.
- consent management.
- form operation.
- language preferences.
- performance optimization; and
- page functionality.
Visitors who are not logged into the website may receive fewer WordPress cookies than website administrators or authorized users.
Cookies used only for website administration are not ordinarily used to track general visitors for advertising purposes.
10. Contact Forms and Newsletter Subscriptions
When you use a contact form or subscribe to the emplify newsletter, cookies or similar technologies may help:
- process the form.
- validate fields.
- remember consent selections.
- prevent duplicate submissions.
- detect spam.
- record newsletter consent; and
- measure whether the submission was completed successfully.
The personal information entered into a form is governed by our Privacy Policy and is not treated merely as cookie data.
Submitting a form does not automatically consent to advertising cookies.
Newsletter consent should be collected separately and should not be made a condition of submitting a general inquiry unless necessary for the requested service.
11. Cookie Consent
When you first visit the website, you may be shown a cookie banner or consent-management tool.
Depending on the cookies in use and the laws that apply to you, the tool may allow you to:
- accept all cookies.
- reject non-essential cookies.
- select specific cookie categories.
- review information about cookie purposes; and
- change or withdraw a previous selection.
Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for the website to operate.
Analytics, functional, advertising and social-media cookies should remain disabled until consent is provided where applicable law requires prior consent.
Consent should be:
- freely given.
- specific.
- informed.
- unambiguous; and
- capable of being withdrawn.
12. How to Change Your Cookie Preferences
You can change your cookie choices at any time by selecting:
Changing your preference will apply to future cookie use.
Withdrawing consent does not make earlier processing unlawful where the cookies were used on the basis of valid consent before withdrawal.
You may need to refresh the page or delete existing cookies for some changes to take full effect.
13. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to:
- view stored cookies.
- delete individual cookies.
- delete all cookies.
- block third-party cookies.
- block all cookies.
- allow cookies only from selected websites.
- clear browsing data when the browser closes; and
- receive notifications before a cookie is placed.
Browser settings vary. Instructions are usually available in the browser’s privacy, security or help section.
Blocking all cookies may cause parts of the emplify website or third-party features to stop working correctly.
Browser-level cookie controls may not prevent every form of tracking, such as device fingerprinting or tracking performed through local storage.
14. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Some browsers and extensions provide privacy preference signals, including Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track.
The website will respond to legally recognized privacy preference signals where required by applicable law and technically supported.
Because there is not a single universally adopted standard for all browser signals, some signals may not affect every website feature or third-party service.
15. International Processing
Some cookie and technology providers may process information in countries outside the United Arab Emirates or outside the country in which you reside.
Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.
Where required, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are used for international data transfers.
More information about international data processing is available in our Privacy Policy
16. Data Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the cookies enabled, information collected may include:
- IP address.

- technical errors.

We may combine cookie information with other information where permitted by law and described in our Privacy Policy.
17. Retention of Cookie Information
Cookies remain on your device for different periods.
A cookie may last:
- only for the current browser session.
- for a specific number of minutes, days or months.
- until its configured expiry date; or
- until you delete it.
Information generated through cookies may be retained separately by emplify or a third-party provider for the period needed to fulfill its purpose, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or maintain security.
Exact cookie expiry periods should be included in the active cookie table maintained on the website.
18. Children and Cookies
Some emplify services may be relevant to students and young people.
We do not intend to use advertising or behavioral-profiling cookies to target children without the consent or other authorization required by applicable law.
Where a website area is specifically directed at children, we may:
- limit non-essential cookies.
- require parental or guardian involvement.
- avoid personalized advertising.
- use age-appropriate explanations; and
- apply additional consent safeguards.
Parents or guardians who believe that cookie-related information has been collected from a child inappropriately may contact us using the details below.
19. Third-Party Responsibility
Third-party providers may change their cookies, purposes, technologies and retention periods independently.
Although we will make reasonable efforts to keep our cookie information accurate, we are not responsible for changes made by third parties without our knowledge.
We may periodically scan and review the website to identify active cookies and update this policy accordingly.
20. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect:
- changes to website functionality.
