Cookie Policy

Last updated 9 July 2026

This policy explains how the Offline website at offline.ae and the Offline members app use cookies and similar technologies — such as your browser's local storage, service workers and push notifications.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site work properly, remember your choices, and — depending on the type — help measure how the site is used or support advertising. Similar technologies like local storage do comparable things.

The types of cookies a site can use

For transparency, here are the common categories you'll see across most websites, and whether Offline uses them today:

Strictly necessary In use

Needed for the site to function and for things you ask for — such as remembering that you've dismissed the cookie notice, or keeping a page secure. These can't be switched off without breaking the site.

Performance & analytics Not in use

Help a site understand how visitors use it — which pages are viewed, what works and what doesn't — usually through aggregated statistics. We don't use these today.

Functionality & preferences Not in use

Remember choices you make to give a more personal experience, such as language or layout preferences. We don't use these today.

Targeting & advertising Not in use

Used to build a profile of your interests and show or measure advertising, often set by third parties across different sites. We don't use these today.

What Offline uses today

We use only strictly necessary cookies. We do not currently use performance, functionality or advertising cookies, we don't track you across other websites, and we don't sell any information collected through cookies. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we'll update this policy and, where the law requires, ask for your consent before setting them.

The Offline app

The Offline members app is a progressive web app. Rather than advertising cookies, it relies on a few strictly necessary and functional technologies to work:

• Local storage: keeps you securely signed in between visits and remembers essential app settings, so you don't have to log in every time.
• Service worker: lets the app load reliably and receive the notifications you've enabled.
• Push notifications: if you turn them on, the app stores a notification token on your device so we can deliver messages such as event reminders and connection requests. You can turn them off at any time in the app or your device settings.

The app does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can clear this data at any time by signing out, clearing the site's storage in your browser, or uninstalling the app.

Managing cookies

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, and set most browsers to warn you before accepting one. Because the cookies we use are essential, turning them off may stop parts of the site from working as intended.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post the current version here with a new "last updated" date.
