What this page covers
Cookies are small files a site stores on your device. This page lists every cookie and third-party script bafcointl.com actually uses — nothing more and nothing less — and explains how to control them.
It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
How we ask for consent
Analytics is switched off until you switch it on. On your first visit everything that is not strictly necessary starts in a denied state, and no analytics cookie is written unless you press “Accept analytics”. Declining costs you nothing: every page, the quote form and the whole site work identically either way.
We implement this with Google Consent Mode v2, set to deny by default before any Google tag loads. Your choice is stored for a year, after which we ask again.
You can change your mind at any time using the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer of every page.
Strictly necessary
These make the site work and are exempt from consent. They store nothing that identifies you and are never used to track you.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| bafco_lang | BAFCO | Remembers whether you chose English or Arabic. | Until cleared (local storage) |
| bafco_consent | BAFCO | Remembers your cookie choice so we stop asking. Without it the banner would reappear on every page. | 12 months (local storage) |
| __cf_bm and similar | Cloudflare | Distinguishes people from bots so the site stays available. | 30 minutes |
Analytics — only with your consent
If you accept, Google Analytics 4 is loaded through our Google Tag Manager container and sets the cookies below. We use it to see which pages and which cities are worth investing in. We do not use it for advertising, and no advertising or remarketing tag runs on this site.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Assigns a random ID so repeat visits count as one visitor rather than many. | 2 years |
| _ga_5SYYZVWBWG | Google Analytics | Holds session state for this specific GA4 property. | 2 years |
Google acts as our processor for this data and may process it on servers outside Saudi Arabia. See Google's own notice at policies.google.com.
Embedded content and third-party services
Some parts of the site load from other companies' servers. Those companies necessarily see your IP address, because that is how the internet delivers a file.
| Service | Where | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube (privacy-enhanced mode) | Background video on the home page | Loaded from youtube-nocookie.com, which does not set YouTube's tracking cookies for playback on our page. |
| Google Fonts | Typefaces on every page | Sets no cookies; Google receives the request and your IP address. |
| Cloudflare CDN | Hosting and an animation library | Serves the site and its scripts; sets only the security cookie listed above. |
| Google Apps Script | The quote / enquiry form | Runs only when you press submit; it sets no cookie and receives the details you typed. |
How to control cookies
Use the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer to change your choice on this site at any time.
Every browser also lets you block or delete cookies for any site — look under Settings → Privacy. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may mean the language switch forgets your choice, but nothing else on this site will break.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with Google's browser add-on.
