Cookie Policy — How Riyadh Residences Uses Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This Cookie Policy explains how Riyadh Residences, a publication of the Vanderbilt Portfolio (“Riyadh Residences,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at riyadhresidences.com (the “Platform”). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides comprehensive information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data across all interactions with the Platform.

Cookies are a fundamental technology of the modern web, enabling websites to function efficiently, remember user preferences, analyze usage patterns, and deliver relevant advertising. By using the Platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy, subject to the choices and controls described in the managing and controlling cookies section below.

This Cookie Policy was last updated on March 23, 2026. We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our cookie practices, the addition or removal of third-party services, or changes in applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page, and we encourage you to review this policy regularly.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to website operators about how the site is being used, and to enable certain functionalities that would not be possible without them.

Cookies are typically stored in the cookies folder of your web browser. Each cookie contains the name of the website that set the cookie, a unique identifier, an expiration date (for persistent cookies), and a value that may contain a unique ID, session information, preference settings, or other data.

There are several ways to categorize cookies. By origin, cookies are classified as either first-party cookies (set by the website you are visiting) or third-party cookies (set by a domain other than the website you are visiting, such as an analytics or advertising service). By duration, cookies are classified as either session cookies (which are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or you manually delete them). By purpose, cookies are classified into categories including strictly necessary cookies, functionality cookies, performance and analytics cookies, and advertising cookies.

Cookies We Use on the Platform

The Platform uses the following categories of cookies, each serving distinct purposes that contribute to the operation, improvement, and commercial viability of the Platform.

Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are essential for the Platform to function properly and cannot be disabled without severely impairing Platform functionality. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the Platform, and basic content delivery. Strictly necessary cookies do not collect information about your browsing activity for marketing purposes, and they do not track you across other websites. Because these cookies are essential to Platform operation, they are set automatically when you visit the Platform and do not require your consent. Examples include cookies that maintain your session state as you navigate between pages, cookies that enable the Platform’s content delivery network to serve pages efficiently from the server nearest to your geographic location, and cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences so that the Platform can respect your choices on subsequent visits.

Performance and Analytics Cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Platform — which pages are visited most frequently, how visitors navigate between pages, whether visitors encounter error messages, and how long visitors spend on different sections of the Platform. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it does not identify individual visitors. We use this information to understand usage patterns and improve the Platform’s content, structure, and functionality.

The primary analytics service used on the Platform is Google Analytics, which sets several cookies to track visitor interactions. Google Analytics cookies typically have names beginning with “_ga” or “_gid” and are used to distinguish unique visitors, throttle request rates, and identify the sources and campaigns that drive traffic to the Platform. Google Analytics collects information including your approximate geographic location (derived from your IP address and typically accurate only to city level), your browser type and version, your operating system, the pages you visit on the Platform and the order of those visits, the time you spend on each page, the website or source that referred you to the Platform, and whether you have visited the Platform before.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Terms of Service. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses before storage and processing, which limits the precision of geographic location data and reduces the potential for personal identification. You can opt out of Google Analytics data collection by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Advertising Cookies. The Platform uses Google AdSense to display advertisements, and AdSense sets cookies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across the web. These cookies collect information about your visits to the Platform and other websites, and they enable the display of personalized advertisements that reflect your apparent interests and preferences.

Google AdSense cookies may collect information including the pages you visit on the Platform, your interactions with advertisements displayed on the Platform, your browsing activity on other websites that participate in Google’s advertising network, and your approximate geographic location. This information is used to select and display advertisements that are more likely to be relevant to you, to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement.

The use of AdSense cookies is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy, and you can manage your Google advertising preferences through Google’s Ad Settings page at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting the Google Ads Help Center or by using the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out mechanism at optout.aboutads.info.

Functionality Cookies. These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on the Platform. They may be set by us or by third-party service providers whose services we have integrated into the Platform. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these enhanced functions may not work properly. Examples include cookies that remember your display preferences (such as preferred layout or font size), cookies that remember your language preferences if the Platform offers multilingual content, and cookies that store your cookie consent preferences for use on return visits.

Third-Party Cookies in Detail

Several third-party services operate on the Platform, each setting their own cookies for their own purposes as described below.

Google AdSense Cookies. Google AdSense is the primary advertising service used on the Platform. AdSense uses cookies including the DSID cookie (used to identify users on non-Google sites for the purpose of showing personalized ads), the IDE cookie (used to show Google ads on non-Google sites, with a duration of approximately 13 months), the NID cookie (used to show Google ads in Google services for signed-out users, with a duration of approximately 6 months), and the APISID, HSID, SAPISID, SID, and SSID cookies (used for security and to store user preferences).

Google Analytics Cookies. As described above, Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga (used to distinguish users, with a duration of 2 years), _gid (used to distinguish users, with a duration of 24 hours), _gat (used to throttle request rate, with a duration of 1 minute), and ga[container-id] (used to persist session state, with a duration of 2 years).

Content Delivery Network Cookies. The Platform may use a content delivery network (CDN) such as Cloudflare to ensure fast and reliable content delivery. CDN services may set cookies including __cflb (used for load balancing) and __cf_bm (used for bot management and detection, with a duration of 30 minutes).

How Long Do Cookies Last

The duration of cookies varies depending on their type and purpose. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period — ranging from a few minutes to several years — or until you manually delete them. The specific duration of each cookie used on the Platform is described in the sections above where applicable. As a general guide, analytics cookies typically persist for up to two years, advertising cookies typically persist for up to thirteen months, and functionality cookies typically persist for up to one year.

Managing and Controlling Cookies

You have several options for managing and controlling the cookies set by the Platform and by third-party services operating on the Platform.

Browser Settings. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to block all cookies, to block only third-party cookies, to accept all cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set so that you can make a decision on a case-by-case basis. The process for managing cookies varies between browsers, but you can generally find cookie management options in the “preferences,” “settings,” or “privacy” section of your browser.

Please note that blocking all cookies will significantly impair the functionality of the Platform and may prevent you from accessing certain features. Blocking third-party cookies will prevent analytics and advertising cookies from being set, which will affect our ability to understand Platform usage and will prevent the display of personalized advertisements, though it should not impair the basic functionality of the Platform.

The following links provide instructions for managing cookies in common browsers: Google Chrome (support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647), Mozilla Firefox (support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop), Apple Safari (support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471), Microsoft Edge (support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09).

Google Analytics Opt-Out. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits to the Platform by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript to prevent sending visit information to Google Analytics.

Google Advertising Opt-Out. You can manage your Google advertising preferences and opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of personalized advertising from Google and other participating companies through the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at optout.aboutads.info, the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org, or (for European users) the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out page at youronlinechoices.eu.

Do Not Track Signals. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that they not track the user’s browsing activity. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and the Platform does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can control tracking through the cookie management options described above.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, the Platform may use other tracking technologies that serve similar purposes.

Web Beacons. Web beacons (also known as pixel tags, clear GIFs, or tracking pixels) are small, transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that are used to track user behavior. Web beacons can be used to determine whether a page has been viewed, how many times a page has been viewed, and from what geographic location. We may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies to track Platform usage and to measure the effectiveness of our content and advertising.

Local Storage. HTML5 local storage allows websites to store data in your browser that persists beyond a single session. We may use local storage to remember your preferences, such as your cookie consent choices, without setting a traditional cookie. Local storage data does not expire automatically but can be deleted through your browser settings.

JavaScript Tags. JavaScript tags are snippets of code embedded in web pages that enable the collection of data about user interactions. Analytics and advertising services typically operate through JavaScript tags that execute when a page loads, collecting information about the page view and the user’s browser environment.

Your choices about cookies will affect your experience on the Platform in several ways.

If you accept all cookies, you will have the full Platform experience, including personalized advertisements that reflect your interests, analytics tracking that helps us improve the Platform’s content and functionality, and full access to all Platform features and functionality.

If you block third-party cookies only, you will retain full access to Platform content and functionality, but advertisements displayed on the Platform will be generic rather than personalized, and analytics data collection will be limited. The Platform will still function properly for reading content, navigating between sections, and accessing all published analysis.

If you block all cookies, some Platform features may not function properly, the Platform may not remember your preferences between visits, and you may experience degraded performance. We strongly recommend allowing at least strictly necessary cookies for the best possible experience.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the addition or removal of third-party services, changes in applicable law, or other developments. When we make material changes to this Cookie Policy, we will post the updated policy on this page with a revised “last updated” date.

We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related tracking technologies. Your continued use of the Platform after the posting of a revised Cookie Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
