Effective Date: March 23, 2026 Last Updated: March 23, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how the Vanderbilt Portfolio (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on Riyadh Tennis (riyadhtennis.com). It describes what cookies are, the types of cookies we use, the purposes they serve, how you can manage your cookie preferences, and your rights regarding cookie-based data collection. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device) when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their sites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information. They serve a variety of functions, from remembering your preferences and login information to enabling website analytics and targeted advertising.
Cookies set by the website operator (in this case, Riyadh Tennis) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website operator are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when you visit our site and when you visit certain other sites.
Beyond cookies, we may also use other similar tracking technologies, including web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage objects, and embedded scripts. These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies and are covered by this Cookie Policy. For simplicity, we use the term “cookies” throughout this policy to refer to all of these technologies collectively.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies for several important reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our site to operate correctly.

Third parties may serve cookies through our site for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our site and the purposes they perform are described in detail below.
Understanding why we use each type of cookie helps you make informed decisions about which cookies you wish to accept. We have categorized our cookies based on their purpose and function, and we provide clear descriptions of what each category does and why it is important to the operation of our site.
