Cookie Policy

Effective Date: March 25, 2026 Last Updated: March 25, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Mukaab Dining (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on mukaabdining.com (the “Site”), what types of cookies we use, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide information to site owners, and enhance user experience.

Cookies can be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them manually.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties whose services are integrated into the website (“third-party cookies”).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the Site cannot function properly.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of the Site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and how visitors move around the Site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

These cookies are set only after you provide consent through our cookie consent banner.

2.3 Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used by Google AdSense and Google’s advertising network to serve advertisements that are relevant to your interests. They may track your browsing behavior across websites to build an interest profile and show relevant ads on other sites.

These cookies are set only after you provide consent through our cookie consent banner.

3. Google Consent Mode v2

The Site implements Google Consent Mode v2 to manage cookies in compliance with privacy regulations, including the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive. This system works as follows:

3.1 Default State

When you first visit the Site, all non-essential cookies are blocked by default. The following consent signals are set to “denied”:

• ad_storage: Controls whether advertising cookies can be set.
• ad_user_data: Controls whether user data can be sent to Google for advertising purposes.
• ad_personalization: Controls whether data can be used for ad personalization.
• analytics_storage: Controls whether analytics cookies can be set.

3.2 Consent Banner

A cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page, offering three options:

• Accept All: Grants consent for all cookie categories. All Google tags function fully.
• Reject Non-Essential: Denies consent for analytics and advertising cookies. Only essential cookies are used.
• Manage Preferences: Opens a detailed panel where you can individually toggle analytics and advertising cookies.

3.3 Consent Persistence

Your consent preferences are stored in your browser’s localStorage under the key “cc_consent.” On subsequent visits, your preferences are automatically restored without showing the consent banner again.

3.4 Changing Preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by:

1. Clearing your browser’s localStorage for mukaabdining.com.
2. Deleting all cookies from mukaabdining.com in your browser settings.
3. Using your browser’s private/incognito mode for a fresh session.

4. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use the following technologies:

4.1 Web Beacons (Pixel Tags)

Small transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether content has been accessed. Google AdSense and Google Analytics may use web beacons in conjunction with cookies.

4.2 Local Storage

We use localStorage (a browser feature) to store your cookie consent preferences. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not sent to the server with each request and has no expiration date unless explicitly cleared.

4.3 JavaScript Tags

Google Analytics and Google AdSense use JavaScript tags to collect data. These tags execute in your browser and communicate with Google’s servers.

5. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can:

• View cookies: See what cookies are stored on your device.
• Delete cookies: Remove some or all stored cookies.
• Block cookies: Prevent websites from setting cookies.
• Allow exceptions: Allow cookies from specific sites while blocking others.

Browser-Specific Instructions:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site data

Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the Site and other websites you visit.

6. Impact of Cookie Choices

6.1 If You Accept All Cookies

All site features function normally. Analytics data helps us improve the Site. You may see personalized advertisements relevant to your interests.

6.2 If You Reject Non-Essential Cookies

The Site functions normally for content consumption. We cannot collect analytics data to improve the Site. Advertisements will be generic (not personalized to your interests) but will still appear. Google tags operate in limited mode, collecting only aggregated, non-identifying signals.

6.3 If You Block All Cookies

Essential site functionality may be affected. Your consent preferences cannot be saved, so you may see the consent banner on every visit.

Market Context and Development Investment

The broader Saudi F&B market provides the commercial foundation for this analysis. The foodservice market reached USD 30.12 billion in 2025, growing at 8.11% CAGR to a projected USD 48.06 billion by 2031. An alternative forecast projects the market at $42.27 billion in 2026, reaching $84.88 billion by 2035 at 8.05% CAGR. Consumer spending hit a record SAR 1.41 trillion (US$376 billion) in 2024, a 7% increase to a historic high. Full-service restaurants hold 53.62% market share, with independent outlets commanding 57.86% versus chains. The cafes and bars segment grows fastest at 11.82% CAGR through 2031.

The QSR market reached US$9.23 billion in 2024, projected to US$16.62 billion by 2033 at 6.78% CAGR. The food delivery market is projected from USD 8.33 billion in 2025 to USD 19.45 billion by 2031 at 15.18% CAGR, with over 500 million annual transactions and 35% of consumers ordering weekly. Cloud kitchen operations reached USD 173 million in 2023, growing at 11% CAGR through 2030. Riyadh dominates with 40% of the national delivery market, driven by its 7.95 million population, robust logistics, and advanced tech adoption.

The New Murabba development — The Mukaab’s home — represents an estimated $50 billion investment spanning 19 million square meters. The masterplan by AtkinsRealis envisions a “15-minute city” housing 420,000 residents across 104,000 residential units, with 9,000 hotel rooms, 1.4 million square meters of office space, 980,000 square meters of retail (larger than Dubai Mall), and over 80 entertainment and culture venues. Phase 1 targets completion by the 2030 Expo, with the full project spanning four phases through 2040. The Mukaab itself measures 400 meters in height, width, and depth, with 2 million square meters of floor area.

The MICHELIN Guide Saudi Arabia 2026 selected 52 restaurants across Riyadh, Jeddah, and AlUla — 11 Bib Gourmand and 41 selected. Star distinctions are planned for the 2027 edition. Riyadh’s Bib Gourmand recipients include Fi Glbak, Tameesa, Mirzam, KAYZO, Em Sherif Cafe, Najd Village, and Sasani. The evaluation criteria — quality of ingredients, harmony of flavours, mastery of technique, chef’s personality, and consistency over time — provide the quality framework against which all dining concepts should be assessed.

Vision 2030 tourism targets include 150 million visitors by 2030, with international arrivals already at 30 million in 2024 — a 69% growth rate versus 2019, leading G20 countries. E-visas are available for 49 countries. Hotel room targets include 250,000 new rooms by 2030, with 75,000 already signed. The global events pipeline includes Expo 2030 in Riyadh, FIFA 2034, and the annual Esports World Cup. Over 80 international sporting events have attracted 2.5 million tourists in four years. Riyadh’s hotel pipeline includes at least 46 high-end projects totaling 18,358 keys — 28 five-star and 18 four-star properties representing at least US$3.8 billion in investment.

The sustainability dimension is increasingly relevant. 68% of MENA diners prefer sustainable restaurants. The MENA food service market reached $92.48 billion in 2024, projected to $189.87 billion by 2032. Saudi Arabia imports over 80% of its food, but domestic food manufacturing has grown to over 1,900 factories with investments exceeding SAR 88 billion. GCC innovation in hydroponics and vertical farming is producing local alternatives. The Saudi Coffee Company has committed US$320 million to boost annual coffee production from 300 to 2,500 tonnes by 2032, developing Arabica cultivation in the Jazan highlands.
