Cookie Policy

Last updated: 17 April 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Alliance Silica® LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them more efficient, and to provide information to website owners. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage, all of which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  • Ensure the website functions properly and securely
  • Remember your preferences and settings
  • Understand how visitors interact with our website so we can improve it
  • Measure the performance of our content and campaigns

We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or to build profiles for marketing purposes.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as submitting the contact form, or for basic site security.

Analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are most visited, how long people stay, and whether they experience errors. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify you.

Preference cookies. These remember choices you make (such as your cookie consent) so you do not have to set them again on each visit.

5. Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics sets cookies that record information such as:

  • Your IP address (anonymised where available)
  • Device and browser type
  • Pages visited, time spent, and navigation paths
  • Referring website or campaign source

Google Analytics may transfer this information to servers outside the UAE, including the United States. Google’s use of this data is governed by their own Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Cookies We Set

The specific cookies used on our website typically include:

  • _ga, _ga_<id> — Google Analytics. Used to distinguish users. Duration: up to 2 years.
  • _gid — Google Analytics. Used to distinguish users. Duration: 24 hours.
  • _gat — Google Analytics. Used to throttle request rate. Duration: 1 minute.
  • Webflow session cookies — set by our hosting platform to maintain basic site functionality. Duration: session.
  • Cookie consent preference — remembers your response to our cookie banner. Duration: up to 12 months.

Cookie names and durations may change as our analytics provider updates their services.

7. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third parties, including Google (Google Analytics) and Webflow (our hosting platform). We do not control these cookies directly. Please refer to the third party’s own policies for more information about how they use data.

8. Managing and Disabling Cookies

You can control and disable cookies at any time. The exact steps depend on your browser:

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the site. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.

9. Consent

Where required by law (including under the UAE PDPL, GDPR, UK GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive), we obtain your consent before setting non-essential cookies on your device. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies or using the opt-out links above.

10. International Transfers

Analytics data collected via cookies may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the UAE, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised under the GDPR, UK GDPR and UAE PDPL.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for operational, legal or regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was most recently revised.
