Effective Date: 12/06/2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how YPI LLC, trading as YPI.AE (“YPI.AE”, “we”, “us”, “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies when you access or use our website, mobile applications and related services (together, the “Platform”).
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By continuing to browse or use the Platform, you agree that we can store and access cookies and similar technologies as described in this policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet or other device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalised content.
Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons, SDKs, local storage and device identifiers. In this policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
3. Who sets cookies?
Cookies may be set by:
- YPI.AE (first-party cookies) – placed by us and used only by our Platform; and/or
- Third parties (third-party cookies) – placed by other companies (for example analytics providers, advertising partners or social media platforms).
Third-party cookies may collect data across different websites and services.
4. Types of cookies we use
We use the following types of cookies on the Platform:
4.1 Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of the Platform and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as:
- signing in to your Account;
- setting your privacy or language preferences;
- filling out forms.
Without these cookies, some parts of the Platform may not function properly.
4.2 Performance and analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how Users interact with the Platform, for example:
- which pages are visited most often;
- how Users move around the site;
- which features are used or cause errors.
We use this information to improve the Platform, fix issues and enhance your experience. Data collected by these cookies is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you.
Examples may include cookies set by web analytics services (such as page view counters, session identifiers and referrer tracking).
4.3 Functional cookies
These cookies allow the Platform to remember your choices and preferences, such as:
- saved searches and filters;
- preferred language or location;
- your login status (so you don’t need to sign in again every time).
They help provide a more personalised experience.
4.4 Advertising and marketing cookies
We may use cookies to:
- show you more relevant adverts (for example, retargeting you with properties or services you previously viewed);
- limit the number of times you see the same advert;
- measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
These cookies may be set by us or by our advertising partners. They may use information about your visits to this and other websites to build a profile of your interests.
5. Cookies used via third parties
We may use third-party services on the Platform, such as:
- analytics tools;
- advertising networks and social media pixels;
- A/B testing and performance optimisation tools.
These third parties may set their own cookies to carry out these services. We do not control these cookies and their use is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of those third parties.
6. How long do cookies last?
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies – which are deleted when you close your browser; or
- Persistent cookies – which remain on your device for a period of time or until you delete them.
The duration of each cookie varies. We aim to ensure that cookies are not kept longer than necessary for the purpose for which they were set.
7. How to manage cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
7.1 Browser settings
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to:
- reject all cookies;
- accept only certain types of cookies; or
- be notified when a website wants to set or update cookies.
Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of the Platform may not work properly or may be unavailable.
For instructions on how to manage cookies in your browser, please refer to the browser’s help menu or documentation.
7.2 Device settings
On mobile devices, you may be able to manage how information is collected and used for interest-based advertising by adjusting your device settings (for example, “Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt out of Ads Personalisation” on Android).
7.3 In-Platform controls
Where applicable, we may provide cookie banners or preference centers on the Platform that allow you to manage certain cookie settings. These options may evolve over time as we update the Platform.
8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:
- the cookies we use;
- legal or regulatory requirements; or
- our business and technological practices.
When we do, we will update the “Effective Date” above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Platform.
