Privacy Policy

How Matla handles your data: what we collect and what we don’t, cookies, advertising and your choices.

In short

What is stored in your browser

The site keeps two things in your browser’s local storage: whether you chose the light or dark theme, and a flag that the site’s fonts have already been downloaded so they can show straight away. Neither is sent to us, and you can remove both by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

When you calculate a date, your input is added to the page address (for example ?d=1448-04-25) so you can copy the link and share the result. The link stays in your browser unless you share it.

Technical logs

Like any website, our hosting provider and content delivery network log technical details of requests, such as the IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time, for operating the site, security and preventing abuse. We don’t use them to identify you.

Advertising and cookies

The site will show Google AdSense ads in reserved spaces. Once they are switched on:

Before ads are shown to visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we will show a Google-certified consent message that lets them accept or refuse cookies; personalised ads will not be used for them without consent.

Analytics

The site doesn’t currently use any analytics or tracking tools. If we add one, we will update this page and say what it collects.

Children

The site is for a general audience, and we don’t knowingly collect personal data about children.

Your rights

Under Saudi Arabia’s Personal Data Protection Law and other laws that apply, you can ask about your data and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. Since we don’t collect data that identifies you, we will usually hold nothing about you, but we are happy to answer any question at [email protected].

Changes to this policy

We update this page whenever the way we handle data changes; the date of the last review is shown below.
