What this covers

This policy covers emeraldavenuemc.com, the website of Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic L.L.C., a clinic licensed by the Dubai Health Authority under DHA registration number 5540173.

It sits alongside our privacy policy, which explains everything else we hold about you and what you can ask us to do with it.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a site. It lets the site remember something between pages, or between visits. Related technologies, pixels, tags and browser storage, do much the same work, and this policy treats them all as cookies.

A cookie set by this site is a first party cookie. A cookie set by a company whose service runs on the site, such as Google or Meta, is a third party cookie.

The cookies this site uses

Essential

Set by Webflow, which builds and hosts this site. They keep the site working: they hold your form session, stop a form being submitted twice and protect against abuse. The site cannot run without them, and they do not identify you.

Analytics

Google Analytics 4. It tells us how many people visit, which pages they read, how they arrived and what devices they use. We use it to decide what to write and what to fix. The data is held by Google, outside the United Arab Emirates.

Advertising

Google Ads and the Meta Pixel. These record when a visit to this site follows one of our advertisements, and they allow us to show advertising to people who have been here before. They are set by Google and by Meta, the company behind Instagram and Facebook, and the data goes to them.

Embedded content

Google Maps. The map on our contact page is served by Google and sets its own cookies when it loads.

Cookies and your medical information

This matters, so it is stated plainly.

The clinical systems that hold your record are separate from this website and are not connected to any analytics or advertising service. The appointment form here collects contact details and a requested speciality only, and its contents are not shared with advertising providers.

Managing cookies

You control cookies from your browser. Every major browser lets you see what has been stored, delete it, block cookies from a particular site, or block third party cookies altogether. The setting is usually found under Privacy or Site settings.

Blocking essential cookies will stop the forms on this site from working. Blocking analytics and advertising cookies will not affect anything you can see or do here.

You can also opt out at the source.

• Google Analytics: the Google Analytics opt out browser add on, at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• Google advertising: your ad settings at myadcenter.google.com
• Meta advertising: ad preferences in your Instagram or Facebook settings
