Cookie Policy

LAST UPDATED 7 July 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”) explains how Mathieu Fabre Magnan Legal Consultants FZE (“MFM Legal Consultants”), a legal entity authorized and duly licensed by Dubai World Trade Centre (License number L-4496) and the Government of Dubai Legal Affairs Department (License number CF-2026-00190), having its registered address at Office No. 416-01-02-03-04 Level 04 Convention Tower, DWTC, Dubai, UAE (“we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on its website at mfmlegalconsultants.ae (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more generally.

The Website is a basic informational website built on the WordPress platform. It is used to provide information about our firm and services and does not offer online transactions, visitor accounts, or marketing functionality.

2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to operate more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner. Similar technologies such as pixels, local storage and software development kits perform comparable functions; where relevant, references to “cookies” in this Policy include these technologies.
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They may also be “first-party” cookies set by the Website itself, or “third-party” cookies set by another domain.
3. Cookies we use
We only use strictly necessary cookies that are required for the operation and security of the Website. These are standard session and security cookies provided by the WordPress platform. They do not collect personal data for advertising or marketing purposes and are essential for the Website to function properly.

We do not use analytics, advertising, social media, or other non-essential tracking cookies. We do not build visitor profiles, track browsing across other websites, or share cookie data with advertisers.

The strictly necessary cookies that may be set are described below. Several are only set for logged-in administrators of the Website rather than for ordinary visitors.

4. Legal basis and consent
Because the Website uses only strictly necessary cookies, prior consent is generally not required before these cookies are set. Strictly necessary cookies are those that are essential to provide the service you have requested — for example, to maintain a secure session or to allow the Website to function.
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the related ePrivacy rules, consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary for a service explicitly requested by the user; consent is required only for non-essential cookies such as analytics and advertising. As we do not use such cookies, we do not display a consent banner at this stage.

Under the United Arab Emirates Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (the “UAE PDPL”), the processing of personal data must have a lawful basis. To the extent any limited data is processed through strictly necessary cookies, we rely on the legitimate interest of operating and securing the Website, and on the necessity of the processing to provide the service you have requested.

If in future we introduce analytics, advertising or other non-essential cookies, we will update this Policy and, where required, request your consent through a cookie banner or similar mechanism before those cookies are set.

5. Personal data and your rights
Strictly necessary cookies used on this Website are not intended to identify visitors and are not used for profiling or marketing. Where any information handled through these cookies constitutes personal data, it is processed in accordance with the UAE PDPL and, where applicable, the GDPR.

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights in relation to your personal data, including the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, and data portability, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in section 8.

6. Managing and disabling cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to block or delete cookies, or to alert you when a cookie is being set. The “Help” function of your browser explains how to do this.

Please note that strictly necessary cookies cannot be switched off through this Website because they are essential to its operation. Blocking all cookies through your browser may prevent parts of the Website, particularly the secure and administrative areas, from working correctly.

7. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in technology, or in applicable law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
