Document background
The Cookies Notice is a mandatory document for websites operating in Saudi Arabia that use cookies or similar tracking technologies. This notice must comply with the Saudi Arabian Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and related regulations governing digital privacy and data protection. The document should be implemented by any organization operating a website that collects user data through cookies, whether for essential functionality, analytics, or marketing purposes. The Cookies Notice serves multiple purposes: it informs users about the types of cookies being used, provides transparency about data collection practices, and offers clear instructions for cookie management. It should be readily accessible on the website and written in clear, understandable language. The notice becomes particularly important in the context of Saudi Arabia's increasing focus on digital transformation and cybersecurity, requiring careful attention to both local legal requirements and international best practices.
