Cookie Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how IqraCity (https://iqracity.org) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and — where advertising is shown — display relevant ads. Most browsers accept cookies by default, and you can control them through your browser settings (see "Managing Cookies" below).
How We Use Cookies
We use the following categories of cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential for the site to function — for example, remembering cookie-consent choices and keeping the site secure. The site cannot work properly without them, and they do not track you for advertising.
Analytics / Performance Cookies
We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate usage patterns: which articles are popular, how long visitors stay, what devices they use. This helps us improve content. These cookies collect anonymized, statistical information.
Advertising Cookies
We display ads through Google AdSense and other advertising partners. These partners use cookies — including Google's DoubleClick DART cookie — to show you ads based on your visits to IqraCity and other websites. This is what allows advertising to be more relevant to your interests.
You can opt out of personalized Google advertising at Google Ads Settings, and opt out of many third-party advertising cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on IqraCity are set by third parties rather than by us:
- Advertising partners (Google and others) for ad delivery and measurement.
- Embedded content providers (e.g., YouTube) when articles include embedded videos or posts — these behave as if you visited those sites directly.
We do not control third-party cookies; please refer to those providers' own privacy and cookie policies.
Managing Cookies
You can manage or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Note that disabling cookies may affect site functionality (for example, embedded videos may not load) and you may see less relevant advertising — but you will still be able to read all articles.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally. The "Last updated" date above will reflect the most recent revision.
