Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how DAH Real Estate Brokerage L.L.C., trading as Davies & Harrison (“we”, “us”, “our”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at daviesandharrison.com (the “Site”).
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides full details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.
We comply with the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding the use of cookies for visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) for all visitors.
2. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose content or services are embedded in the website (“third-party cookies”).
Similar technologies include pixel tags, web beacons, local storage, and scripts that collect information in a similar way. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies unless otherwise stated.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential operation: Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function correctly. Without these cookies, certain features of the Site would not work.
Analytics: We do not currently use analytics cookies. If we introduce analytics tools in the future, they will only be activated with your consent.
Preferences: We use cookies to remember your choices, such as your cookie consent preferences and language settings.
4. Categories of Cookies We Use
We categorise the cookies used on our Site as follows:
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie consent preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but some parts of the Site may not function properly.
Consent required: No. These cookies are exempt from consent requirements under the ePrivacy Directive because they are strictly necessary for the service you have requested.
Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
cookie_consent | daviesandharrison.com (first-party) | Stores your cookie consent preferences so the banner is not shown again on subsequent visits | 12 months |
Note: The cookie names listed above are indicative and may vary slightly depending on your browser and device.
4.2 Analytics Cookies
We do not currently use any analytics cookies on our Site. If we introduce analytics tools in the future, this section will be updated with full details of the cookies used, their providers, purposes, and expiry periods. Any analytics cookies will only be activated after you have given consent via our cookie banner.
4.3 Third-Party Embedded Content
Our Site embeds content from third-party services. These embeds may set their own cookies when you interact with them. We do not control these cookies.
Embedded Content | Provider | Purpose | Notes |
Appointment scheduling widget | Calendly, LLC | Allows visitors to book a discovery call with our advisory team | Calendly may set session and functional cookies when the scheduling widget is loaded on our booking page. See Calendly’s privacy policy for details. |
Interactive maps | Google (Google Maps JavaScript API) | Displays project locations on property detail pages | Google Maps may set functional cookies when the map is loaded. Maps are used solely to display project locations. See Google’s privacy policy for details. |
We are working to minimise the cookies set by third-party embeds. If additional third-party tools are added in the future (such as advertising pixels or social media widgets), this policy will be updated accordingly.
4.4 Marketing Cookies
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on our Site. If we introduce marketing cookies in the future (for example, Meta Pixel or Google Ads), this Cookie Policy will be updated before they are deployed, and they will only be activated with your prior consent.
5. Your Cookie Choices
5.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner will appear giving you the option to:
Accept all cookies (essential + analytics)
Reject non-essential cookies (only essential cookies will be set)
Customise your preferences by cookie category
Important: No non-essential cookies will be set until you make a choice. If you reject non-essential cookies or close the banner without making a selection, only strictly necessary cookies will be used.
5.2 Changing Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the “Manage Cookies” or “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our Site. This will reopen the cookie consent banner, allowing you to update your choices.
5.3 Browser Settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being set
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. For instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit your browser’s help or support pages.
5.4 Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not currently respond to DNT signals, but we honour the cookie preferences you set through our consent banner.
6. Data Collected Through Cookies
The personal data collected through cookies on our Site may include:
IP address (which may be truncated or anonymised by our analytics provider)
Browser type and version
Device type and operating system
Pages visited, time of visit, and referring URL
User interactions (clicks, scrolls, form interactions)
This data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Where analytics cookies are used, the legal basis for processing is your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), which you provide through our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your cookie preferences.
7. International Data Transfers
Calendly, our scheduling provider, processes data on servers located in the United States. Google Maps may also transfer data to servers outside the EEA. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example when we add new cookies, adopt new tracking technologies, or change our third-party providers. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
