About
Consent infrastructure, built for this region
Saudi Arabia enforces the PDPL, the UAE has its own data protection law, and a store selling across the Gulf is usually subject to several at once. Arqam360 exists so a merchant can meet those obligations without hiring anyone to interpret them.
What Arqam360 is
A consent platform for merchants selling in the Middle East and North Africa. It asks a visitor for permission before any advertising or analytics tool runs, records the answer as evidence, and passes that answer on to the tools a merchant already uses — so analytics and advertising keep working within what the visitor agreed to.
Why the name
Arqam means 'numbers' in Arabic. We make sure your numbers are complete, 360°, and collected with your visitors' consent.
Arabic is not a translation layer
The banner, the cookie descriptions and the generated privacy policy are written in Arabic, right-to-left, not machine-translated from English. Most consent tools treat Arabic as a locale file. For a merchant in Riyadh or Casablanca it is the language the customer actually reads.
The cookie database
Cookies are classified by a database of 124 patterns, 37 of them for services specific to this region — the Salla and Zid platforms, Gulf payment gateways, regional delivery companies. Every entry carries a description in both English and Arabic, because a cookie declaration a customer cannot read is not a disclosure.
The KSA Compliance Index
We scan Saudi online stores and publish what we find about how consent is actually handled — 1,556 stores in the most recent edition. It is a public dataset, not a lead magnet dressed as research, and it is where much of what we know about regional cookie behaviour comes from.
Who builds it
Arqam360 is small, and run by the people who built it. That shapes what we promise: we do not advertise a support department we do not have, and when you write to us a person reads it.
Where it runs
Arqam360 installs as a native app on the platforms MENA merchants actually use, and as a script on anything else.
