1.What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in a comparable way. IST Markets uses them to make our websites work securely, remember your choices, measure performance and understand how visitors find us.
2.Categories we use
- Strictly necessary: required for security, fraud prevention and core site functions. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics: help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Data is aggregated where possible.
- Marketing and attribution: record which campaign, advert or partner referred you, and may be used by advertising partners to measure and personalise adverts.

Your language preference is taken from the page address (/ar for Arabic), so no cookie is needed for it.
4.Consent and your choices
Where required by law, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings; blocking strictly necessary items may stop parts of the site from working.
