Changing your preferences may not affect cookies that were already placed on your device.

You may also need to clear existing cookies through your browser or device settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• block cookies;
• delete existing cookies;
• receive notifications when cookies are placed;

The available controls may differ between:

• Android devices;
• iOS devices;
• tablets; and
• other connected devices.

14 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers and devices provide "Do Not Track" or similar privacy signals.

Because there is currently no universally consistent technical standard for responding to every such signal, Damascus Projects Global may not respond to all browser-based Do Not Track settings.

Where applicable law requires a specific response to a recognised privacy signal, Damascus Projects Global will seek to comply with the applicable requirement.

15 Personal Information and Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may collect information that can be associated with a particular device, account, or user.

Depending on the circumstances, information collected through cookies may include:

Where cookie information constitutes personal data, it will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.

Depending on the circumstances, Damascus Projects Global may rely on:

• consent;
• legitimate interests;

19 Managing Third-Party Cookies

Where third-party technologies are used, users may be able to manage certain cookies through:

• our cookie settings;

Third-party providers may also have their own privacy and cookie policies.

Users should review those policies where they wish to understand how a particular third party processes information.

20 Security

Damascus Projects Global takes reasonable measures to protect information associated with cookies and similar technologies against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no online system can guarantee absolute security.

Users should also take reasonable steps to protect their devices, accounts, passwords, and authentication information.

21 Cookies Used for Security

Some cookies may be essential to protect the service and users from malicious activity.

For this reason, certain security-related cookies may remain active even where a user has disabled optional analytics or marketing technologies.

These cookies may help detect:

• suspicious sessions;
• automated attacks;
• account abuse;
• fraudulent activity; and
• other security threats.

22 Children

Damascus Projects Global does not knowingly use cookies to intentionally collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

Where age restrictions apply to the service, those restrictions also apply to the use of the related digital services.

If you believe that information relating to a child has been collected improperly, please contact Damascus Projects Global.
