How We Categorize Our Cookies

3. Performance & Diagnostic Analytics

Gather aggregated, non-identifying metrics on page speed, map loading, and search reliability so we can optimize accommodation discovery across Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla, and the Kingdom.

4. Security & Anti-Fraud Protection

Safeguard Guest and Host accounts from automated scraping, rate-abuse, unauthorized login attempts, and payment tampering in coordination with Saudi cybersecurity controls.
