This Cookie Policy explains how Beamax Global General Trading LLC and its platform at https://nlstar.ae/ (the “Platform”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with the Platform.

This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Platform Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data generally.

 

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your device (computer, mobile phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help the Platform remember your actions and preferences, improve performance, provide basic functionality, and enable analytics and advertising features.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party services providing features such as analytics or marketing (third-party cookies).

 

2. Types of Cookies We Use

a) Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for basic functions of the Platform, such as user login, session management, shopping cart functionality, and security. They cannot be switched off in our systems because the Platform will not operate properly without them. They do not require consent.

Examples:

  • Session cookies for login and cart management
  • Security tokens to prevent fraud

b) Performance and Functional Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use the Platform, such as pages visited and time spent. They help us improve the Platform experience. Consent is required before these cookies are set.

c) Analytics and Customisation Cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with the Platform, enabling us to improve performance and user experience. They may track page views, clicks, and behaviours. Consent is required before these cookies are set.

d) Marketing and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver relevant ads, limit the number of times you see an ad, and measure campaign effectiveness. They may involve third-party analytics and advertising partners. Consent is required before these cookies are set.

4. Consent and Prior Opt-In

Before placing any non-essential cookies (Performance, Analytics, Marketing), the Platform will display a cookie consent banner at first visit in accordance with UAE PDPL requirements – consent must be freely given, informed, and explicit, and collected prior to storing these cookies.

You can accept all, reject all, or choose specific categories of cookies via the cookie consent banner.

 

5. How to Withdraw or Change Cookie Preferences

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by using the Cookie Settings link available on the Platform. If you withdraw consent, the Platform will no longer set non-essential cookies from that point forward.

In addition, most web browsers allow you to:

  • view cookies stored on your device;
  • block or remove cookies via browser settings;
  • delete all cookies automatically when you close your browser.

Please note that disabling or deleting cookies may affect how the Platform functions and may reduce user experience quality.

 

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services, such as:

  • analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics);
  • advertising networks (e.g., Meta, Google Ads);
  • payment providers.

These third parties have their own cookie practices, and we link to their privacy/cookie policies where possible. You may also be able to manage or opt out of some third-party cookies via tools provided by those third parties.

 

7. How We Use Cookie Information

We use cookies to:

  • ensure Platform security;
  • enable Platform functionality (login, cart, checkout);
  • understand usage patterns to improve the Platform;
  • provide personalised experiences and marketing where consented.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal data (e.g., financial information, passwords) without explicit consent.

 

8. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Cookies are categorized as personal data when they can identify an individual directly or indirectly. Under UAE PDPL, the processing of such data requires consent (unless exempt) before placing cookies on the user’s device.

Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent because they are essential to deliver the service requested by the user.

 

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or Platform functionality. The “Last Updated” date at the beginning indicates when the policy was last revised. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
