Cookie Policy
Effective date: March 20, 2026 | Last updated: March 20, 2026
Saudi Tokenized Real Estate (“we,” “us,” “the Platform”), operated by The Vanderbilt Portfolio AG, Zurich, Switzerland, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on sauditokenizedrealestate.com. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which categories of cookies we deploy, what each cookie does, how long cookies persist on your device, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent to cookie usage. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a web page. Cookies allow websites to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, and collect information about your browsing behavior. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services embedded in the page (“third-party cookies”). Cookies are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide website operators with analytical data about visitor behavior.
In addition to traditional cookies, this Platform may use related technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and JavaScript-based tracking scripts. Where this policy refers to “cookies,” it encompasses all of these related technologies unless otherwise specified.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorize the cookies deployed on sauditokenizedrealestate.com into four functional groups. Each group serves a distinct purpose, and your consent requirements differ depending on the category.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function correctly. These cookies enable core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and proper rendering of content across our market intelligence reports, regulatory analysis pages, and entity profiles. Essential cookies do not collect personally identifiable information for marketing purposes. Because these cookies are required for basic Platform operation, they cannot be disabled without impairing site functionality. Essential cookies on this Platform typically expire at the end of your browsing session or within 24 hours.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform by collecting and reporting information about page views, session duration, bounce rates, scroll depth, and navigation paths. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to process this analytical data. GA4 sets several cookies on your device, including _ga (used to distinguish unique users, persists for 2 years), _ga_[container-id] (used to persist session state, persists for 2 years), and _gid (used to distinguish users, persists for 24 hours). Analytics data helps us identify which content — such as our Saudi vs Dubai tokenization comparison or portfolio construction guides — provides the most value to readers, allowing us to prioritize editorial resources accordingly.
Google Analytics processes data on servers located in the United States and other jurisdictions. We have enabled IP anonymization in our GA4 configuration, which truncates visitor IP addresses before storage. For more information about how Google processes analytics data, visit Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Advertising Cookies
This Platform displays advertisements served through Google AdSense. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Platform and other websites across the internet. The primary advertising cookie is the DoubleClick cookie (IDE), which persists for up to 13 months in regions subject to GDPR and up to 24 months elsewhere. Google also sets NID cookies (persist for 6 months) and ANID cookies (persist for 13 months in GDPR regions, 24 months elsewhere) for ad personalization purposes.
Google AdSense cookies enable frequency capping (limiting how many times you see a particular advertisement), aggregated ad reporting, and interest-based advertising personalization. These cookies may collect information about your browsing activity across multiple websites to build an advertising profile. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings at https://adssettings.google.com or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at https://optout.networkadvertising.org.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies allow the Platform to remember choices you make — such as your cookie consent status, preferred content display settings, or whether you have dismissed informational banners. These cookies improve your experience by preventing repetitive prompts and maintaining your selected configuration across sessions. Preference cookies on this Platform typically persist for up to 12 months.
Google Consent Mode v2 Compliance
This Platform implements Google Consent Mode v2, which is required for websites serving users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom. Consent Mode v2 operates by communicating your consent status to Google services through two primary consent signals:
ad_storage— Controls whether cookies may be stored for advertising purposes. When denied, Google AdSense will serve only non-personalized advertisements and will not set advertising cookies on your device.analytics_storage— Controls whether cookies may be stored for analytics purposes. When denied, Google Analytics will still send pings to our GA4 property for basic measurement, but no cookies will be set and no personally identifiable information will be stored.
Additional consent signals include ad_user_data (controls whether user data may be sent to Google for advertising), ad_personalization (controls whether personalized advertising is enabled), and functionality_storage (controls whether preference cookies may be set). All consent signals default to “denied” until you provide affirmative consent through the consent banner displayed on your first visit to the Platform.
Third-Party Cookies
Beyond Google Analytics and Google AdSense, this Platform may embed content or services from the following third parties, each of which may set its own cookies:
- Google Fonts — Used for typography rendering. Google Fonts may log font requests and associated IP addresses but does not set persistent tracking cookies.
- YouTube (if embedded video content is present) — YouTube sets cookies including
VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE(persists 6 months),YSC(session cookie), andGPS(persists 30 minutes) to track video playback statistics and preferences.
We do not control the cookies set by third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party providers directly.
How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies through several mechanisms:
Consent banner. When you first visit sauditokenizedrealestate.com, a consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You may update your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the Platform, which will trigger the consent banner again.
Browser settings. All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menus. Instructions for managing cookies are available for Chrome (chrome://settings/cookies), Firefox (about:preferences#privacy), Safari (Preferences > Privacy), and Edge (edge://settings/privacy). Be aware that blocking all cookies may impair Platform functionality.
Google-specific controls. You can manage Google advertising cookies via Google Ad Settings (https://adssettings.google.com). You can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits.
Do Not Track. This Platform respects the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal where technically feasible. When a DNT signal is detected, we configure Google Analytics to limit data collection accordingly.

|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session to 24 hours | 24 hours |
