Anonymous visit counts
We count how many times each page and report is viewed, and for reports how far readers get: scroll depth, time spent, chapters reached, and PDF downloads, shares and contact clicks. We also count, as totals only: which kind of site sent the visit and the campaign tag on a shared link, the hour and day of the visit, the browser and operating system family, which report chapters readers reached, how the report's features were used, links to other sites (by domain), contact form and newsletter sign-up clicks, site searches (never the words), missing pages, and how fast pages load. We keep only daily totals per page, language, device type, country and referring website. For this counting we store no IP address, browser version or identifier, and the only thing we save in your browser is your opt-out, if you choose it. We keep these totals for up to 25 months. You can stop being counted with the button below.
Analytics, advertising and measurement
We work with analytics, advertising and measurement partners to understand how the site is used and how our content and campaigns perform. These partners may save an identifier in your browser. They process this data on our behalf, which may include transferring it to and storing it in countries outside Saudi Arabia, including the United States, and keep it only for the period set in our account with each of them. When our cookie banner is shown, none of these tools runs until you accept, and you can change your choice at any time from "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page.
Reader insights
This is currently switched off. If we ever switch it on, we will record your visit to our reports, including your IP address and the organisation it belongs to, only with your consent, for 90 days, to understand who reads our work. We use a third-party lookup service to identify the organisation.
Contact forms
When you send us a message, we use your details only to reply to you.
Your rights and contact
You can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Write to us through the contact page.
Country lookup
We work out your country from network information that our hosting provider already passes to our server. We don't send your IP address anywhere to do this.
