1Identity, Scope and Definitions
ASSOIMPRESE – MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA (A-MENA), Associazione Industriali Piccole e Medie Imprese Nazionali (“ASSOIMPRESE MENA”), an association legally registered in the Republic of Lebanon on 14 July 2014 under Official Registration Number 11559, operates the public-facing platform and brand “ASSOMENA” at https://assomena.org (“Platform”). This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and related browser storage used by the Platform. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help websites function, remember preferences, and understand how users interact with the site.
Cookies may be “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until deleted. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, local storage and software development tools that perform comparable functions.
2Technologies Currently in Use
The Platform uses the authentication, security and functional technologies listed in the register below, together with Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which use no cookies. No advertising or marketing trackers are used.
The Platform uses only technologies that are strictly necessary or that remember choices you make, together with cookieless analytics. None of them requires prior consent, so the Platform does not display a cookie banner. Browsing the public pages without signing in sets no cookies, except the Vercel security check described below when it is triggered.

3Cookie Purposes and Legal Basis
These technologies are essential to provide functions specifically requested by you, maintain security, prevent fraud, balance network traffic and remember your choices. Where applicable, they are used without consent because the Platform cannot operate properly without them, or because they only remember a choice you made.
Authentication and security cookies support the user-requested session and protect sign-in forms. Company and return-to-page cookies support the navigation and account workflow you request. Browser storage remembers selected layouts, interface panels and reminder choices.
Strictly necessary technologies generally do not require separate cookie consent, although privacy information remains required. Optional analytics, advertising, cross-site tracking or personalization that requires consent under applicable law will remain off until valid consent is recorded and will be capable of being rejected or withdrawn on equivalent terms.
4Analytics and Advertising
Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights are cookieless traffic and performance tools; they may still involve processing of network or device data and are addressed in the Privacy Policy. Views of company, news and job pages are counted on the server without any cookie, as described in Privacy Policy §9. No advertising or marketing tracking cookies are used.
Advertising banners may appear on the Platform, but this does not mean behavioural advertising trackers are used. Any future marketing, measurement or third-party tracking technology will require an updated register, a privacy assessment and consent or another applicable legal basis before deployment.
5Consent Choices and Browser Controls
Because the Platform uses no technology that requires prior consent, there is no cookie banner. If optional cookies are introduced in the future, a consent tool will be provided before they are used.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how the Platform functions. Blocking all cookies may prevent sign-in, security, preference or other essential Platform functions from operating correctly.
If optional cookies are introduced, appropriate controls will be provided to grant, decline and withdraw consent where legally required; consent withdrawal will take effect prospectively. Browser “Do Not Track” signals alone may not constitute a universally recognized legal instruction.
6Third-Party Providers and Linked Services
The register above identifies the cookies and storage used by the Platform. Google sign-in may involve short-lived security cookies during authentication. Vercel supplies cookieless analytics and performance scripts and its security check. Links to third-party sites and social sharing may lead to separate cookies or policies once a user visits those services.
The Platform currently has no integrated subscription payment provider.
7Retention, Changes and Contact
The table above shows the technical lifetimes; actual expiration can depend on the browser and use of a service. Users may clear stored values in their browser. Any future changes to technologies, vendors, lifetimes or purposes will be reflected promptly in the published register.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page.
