1. Introduction

MIRA REAL ESTATE BROKERS L.L.C ("Mira International," "we," "our," or "us"), a company licensed and operating in the United Arab Emirates (Trade License No. 1580156, TRN 100528865700003), operates the website https://mira-international.com/.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar tracking technologies are, how and why we use them on our Site, what choices you have regarding their use, and how this aligns with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL).

This Cookie Policy forms part of and should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

By continuing to use our Site after being presented with our cookie consent banner, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. Where cookies require your consent, we will only place them after you have actively agreed.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember certain information about your preferences or actions.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar tracking technologies, including:

Pixel tags / Web beacons — tiny invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track user activity and measure campaign effectiveness (e.g., Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel);
Local storage — browser-based storage that saves data on your device for improved performance;
Session storage — temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser tab;
Scripts — short pieces of code that enable analytical and advertising tools to function on our Site.

These technologies collectively help us operate our Site effectively, understand how visitors interact with it, and deliver relevant property listings and marketing content.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We use four categories of cookies, described below. Strictly Necessary cookies are placed automatically. All other categories require your explicit prior consent under the UAE PDPL.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Consent required: No — these cookies are essential for the Site to function.

These cookies are required for the basic operation of our Site and cannot be disabled. Without them, services you have requested — such as viewing property listings, navigating between pages, or submitting an inquiry form — would not work correctly. They do not collect any information about you for marketing purposes.

Examples of what they do:

Maintain your session as you browse the Site
Remember items you have added to property shortlists or comparison tools
Enable secure connections (HTTPS)
Store your cookie consent preferences so you are not asked repeatedly
Enable the property search and filter functionality

3.2 Performance & Analytics Cookies

Consent required: Yes

These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site — for example, which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, and where visitors come from. The data is used in aggregate and anonymised form to improve the performance and usability of our Site. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors.

Third-party services we use:

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Operated by Google LLC. GA4 collects anonymised usage data including pages viewed, session duration, device type, and geographic location (at city level). Data may be transferred to Google servers in the United States. We use IP anonymisation and have signed a Data Processing Agreement with Google.

Google Tag Manager Used to manage and deploy analytics and marketing tags on our Site without modifying site code directly. Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data, but manages tags that may do so.

Google Privacy Policy

3.3 Functional Cookies

Consent required: Yes

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation on our Site, beyond what is strictly necessary. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function correctly.

Examples of what they do:

Remember your preferred language (English / Arabic / Russian / other)
Remember your preferred currency for property prices (AED / USD / EUR / GBP)
Remember your preferred measurement unit (sq. ft. / sq. m.)
Save your property search filters between sessions
Enable live chat and customer support widgets
Enable embedded maps (e.g., Google Maps for property location display)

3.4 Advertising & Targeting Cookies

Consent required: Yes

These cookies are set by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and deliver relevant property advertisements to you on third-party platforms — such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Google Display Network — even after you have left our Site. They work by uniquely identifying your browser or device.

These cookies may track your activity across multiple websites and devices. We do not directly control how these third parties use the data collected. Their use is governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties, and we encourage you to review them.

Important: Under the UAE PDPL, advertising and retargeting cookies may only be activated after you have given explicit, informed, and freely given consent. These cookies are blocked by default until you actively accept them via our cookie banner.

Third-party advertising tools we use:

Meta Pixel (Facebook & Instagram) Operated by Meta Platforms, Inc. Tracks website actions (page views, property inquiries, form submissions) to enable retargeted advertising on Facebook and Instagram and to measure ad campaign effectiveness. Data is transferred to Meta servers in the United States.

TikTok Pixel Operated by TikTok Technology Limited. Tracks website interactions to deliver targeted property ads on TikTok and to measure ad performance. Data may be transferred to TikTok servers in the United States and other jurisdictions.

TikTok Privacy Policy

Google Ads (Remarketing) Operated by Google LLC. Enables retargeted advertising to website visitors through the Google Display Network and YouTube. Works in conjunction with Google Analytics when linked.

4.3 Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse some or all cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being set. Note that blocking Strictly Necessary cookies may prevent parts of our Site from working correctly.

Browser-specific guidance:

5. Third-Party Cookies and Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some cookies are set by third-party service providers whose scripts operate on our Site. These providers may transfer data to servers located outside the UAE, including to the United States. Where such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Article 22 of the UAE PDPL, including:

Entering into Data Processing Agreements with relevant third parties;
Relying on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms where applicable;
Limiting the data transferred to what is necessary for the specified purpose.

For information on how individual third parties process your data, please refer to their privacy policies linked in Section 3 above.

6. Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies remain on your device for varying periods depending on their type:

Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser;
Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a defined period as specified in the cookie tables above, or until you delete them manually.

We review our cookies and their retention periods regularly and update this policy when our cookie usage changes.

7. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our Site currently does not respond to DNT signals at a technical level, as there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to them. However, you can control non-essential tracking through our cookie consent banner and Preference Centre at any time.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our cookie usage, new third-party tools we adopt, or updates to applicable law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Where changes are material, we will notify you via our cookie consent banner when you next visit the Site.

We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed.
