Cookie Policy

Last updated: 23 April 2026.

This Cookie Policy explains how and why Moroccan.biz (“the site”, “we”) uses cookies and comparable technologies, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return to the site, the browser sends the cookie back, allowing the site (or a third party whose code runs on the site) to recognise the browser and remember certain information. Similar technologies used on the modern web include local storage and session storage in the browser, pixels (tiny transparent images used to log page views), SDKs embedded in mobile applications, and device fingerprints derived from browser and device characteristics. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.

2. Why we use cookies

Moroccan.biz uses cookies for two purposes only:

• Audience measurement — to understand, in aggregate, which pages are read and how visitors reach the site, so we can prioritise editorial work.
• Advertising — to allow the site to display third-party advertising and to let the advertising network and its approved partners limit the frequency of a given ad, measure performance, and (where you consent) personalise the ads you see.

We do not use cookies to identify you personally by name, to build behavioural profiles of you for our own marketing, or to sell your personal data on our own behalf.

3. Categories of cookies on this site

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies (if present) are set by our hosting and security infrastructure to deliver pages securely and to recognise traffic patterns that could indicate abuse. They do not track you across websites. They do not require consent under the GDPR / ePrivacy rules because they are necessary to provide the service you requested.

3.2 Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement identifier G-S6WL1FP53F) operated by Google Ireland Limited. The service sets first-party cookies in the _ga* family, which store a pseudonymous identifier for your browser and are used by Google to compile aggregated statistics. Typical cookies in this category:

• _ga — distinguishes unique users; typical duration: up to two years.
• _ga_<container-id> — preserves session state for GA4; typical duration: up to two years.
• _gid, _gat* (when used) — short-lived cookies used to throttle request rate; typical duration: up to 24 hours.

IP addresses sent to Google Analytics are truncated before storage. In jurisdictions that require prior consent for analytics cookies (notably the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), we only load Google Analytics after you have accepted analytics cookies. You can also disable Google Analytics globally by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

3.3 Advertising cookies (Google AdSense and approved ad vendors)

We display advertising through Google AdSense, operated by Google Ireland Limited. When an ad unit loads, Google and its approved third-party ad-tech vendors may set or read cookies to:

• select and serve advertisements (for example __gads, __gpi);
• measure the performance of ads and detect fraudulent or abusive traffic (IDE, DSID, and related identifiers set under the doubleclick.net domain);
• remember your advertising preferences, including any opt-out you have registered (NID, consent-state cookies);
• where permitted, show advertising that is personalised to the interests inferred from your browsing activity on this and other websites.

The precise list of cookies used by Google and its partners, and their durations, is maintained by Google and can change. Authoritative references are published by Google at:

• How Google uses cookies;
• Google advertising;
• How AdSense uses cookies to serve ads.

As required by Google: third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.

4. Your choices

You have several layers of control over cookies used on Moroccan.biz.

4.1 Consent banner (where applicable)

Where the law of your jurisdiction requires prior consent to non-essential cookies, Moroccan.biz displays a consent banner on your first visit and allows you to accept, refuse, or choose categories individually. You can change your choices at any time by revisiting the consent settings from the footer of any page or by clearing cookies for moroccan.biz in your browser, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.

4.2 Google’s Ads Settings

Visit adssettings.google.com to review and, if you wish, turn off personalised advertising across Google services, including AdSense.

4.3 Industry opt-outs

The online-advertising industry provides unified opt-outs covering many ad-tech vendors:

• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): youronlinechoices.eu;
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA, United States): aboutads.info/choices;
• DAA of Canada: youradchoices.ca;
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): optout.networkadvertising.org.

Declining personalised advertising through these tools does not remove advertising from Moroccan.biz; it means the ads you see will be non-personalised (contextual).

4.4 Browser controls

Every modern browser allows you to delete existing cookies and to decide whether cookies may be set. The relevant settings are in the privacy section of your browser's preferences. Help pages for the most commonly used browsers:

• Chrome;
• Firefox;
• Safari;
• Microsoft Edge.

You can also enable “Do Not Track” or the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in browsers that support them. Moroccan.biz recognises GPC for the purposes of the California CCPA/CPRA “do not sell or share” right, and we configure our advertising integration to respect the signal where it is technically supported.

5. Consequences of refusing cookies

Moroccan.biz is designed so that the editorial content is fully readable without accepting any non-essential cookie. Refusing analytics cookies means we lose visibility on how a specific visit reached us, but it does not prevent you from reading any page. Refusing advertising cookies means the ads shown will be contextual rather than personalised; this does not remove advertising from the site and does not affect your access to content.

6. Children

This site is not directed to children under 16 and we do not knowingly enable targeting of children through advertising cookies. If you believe a child has been served personalised advertising via Moroccan.biz, please contact us at [email protected].

7. Changes to this Cookie Policy

The cookies used on the site may change as we update the analytics and advertising services we rely on. When a material change is made we will update this page and revise the “last updated” date at the top. You are encouraged to review this page periodically.

8. Contact

Questions about cookies or about how to exercise the choices described here should be sent to [email protected] with “Cookies” in the subject line. See also the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.
