Cookies Policy
Last updated 7 October 2026
This policy explains which cookies and similar browser storage the Al Leith Racing website uses, what each is for, and how you can change your choice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Websites also use similar storage built into the browser, such as local storage (which stays until you clear it) and session storage (which is cleared when you close the tab). In this policy we call all of these "cookies".
What this site uses
The table below lists everything the site saves on your device. All of it is essential or helps the site remember your choices; none of it tracks you across other websites. The reCAPTCHA box on the contact form is described under Third parties.
Cookies and storage used by this site
| Name | Type | What it is for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | Cookie | When the page's language is not your browser's language (for example after you switch to Arabic), remembers your choice so the site opens in it next time. | Until you close the browser |
| theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose the light or the dark look. | Until you clear it |
| alr-cookie-consent | Local storage | Remembers your answer to the cookie banner, so we do not ask again. | Until you clear it or change it |
| alr-gate-shown | Session storage | Remembers that the opening animation has already played during this visit. | Until you close the tab |
Optional cookies
We do not currently use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. If we add any in future, they will stay switched off until you allow them in the cookie banner.
Your choices
When you first visit, the cookie banner asks you to accept all cookies, keep essential only, or customise. You can change your answer at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer of every page.
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the essential ones, the site still works, but it may forget your language or theme.
Third parties
This site does not load advertising or social media scripts, and its fonts are served from the site itself. The links to WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook simply open those services, which may set their own cookies under their own policies.
The contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA (the "I'm not a robot" box) to stop automated messages. It loads only on the Contact page. There, Google may set cookies and read information from your browser, under Google's own policies. We do not control those cookies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
