COOKIE POLICY
Last updated: May 24, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ali Suhail Shihab (doing business as Rubik (روبيك)) ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://www.rubiktech.org ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or information that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Ali Suhail Shihab, doing business as Rubik) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. This includes cookies and similar technologies used to keep you signed in to your account, maintain the security of the Website, and support basic site functions.
We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not allow third parties to display advertising on our Website.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.
Essential cookies cannot be rejected because they are strictly necessary to provide you with the Website and its core functions, including signing in to your account. Without these cookies, the Website will not function properly.
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to remove or reject cookies, you may still use our Website, though your access to some functionality may be restricted — in particular, you may not be able to remain signed in to your account.
How can I control cookies on my browser?
The means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser. You should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following browsers provide instructions for managing cookies: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera.
Cookies and similar technologies we use
The Website uses a limited set of essential cookies and similar technologies. Because our Website is built on standard web infrastructure, the specific cookies present may change over time. The main categories are:
| Category | Purpose | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | Keeps you signed in to your Rubik account across pages and sessions. | Firebase Authentication (first-party / Google) |
| Security and infrastructure | Routes requests correctly, protects the Website against abuse, and maintains a secure connection. | Vercel (hosting infrastructure) |
| Preferences | Remembers basic preferences such as your selected language (Arabic or English). | Rubik (first-party) |
| Analytics | Helps us understand how the Website is used so we can improve it. | Google Analytics for Firebase |
All of the above are used to operate, secure, and improve the Website. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to serve advertisements.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels"). These are tiny files that allow us, for example, to understand how visitors move through the Website and to improve site performance. In many cases these technologies rely on cookies to function, so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
How often will we update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the technologies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
Where can I get further information?
