Description:

The NEXT_LOCALE cookie is used in our multilingual website to remember the user’s selected language preference. The site supports English (en), Arabic (ar), and Kurdish (ku). When a user selects one of these languages, the chosen language is stored in this cookie.

This allows the website to automatically load the preferred language when the user revisits the site or navigates between pages, without requiring them to choose the language again.

Purpose:

To store the user’s language preference
To maintain consistency across multilingual pages
To automatically apply the preferred language on future visits

Technical Details:

The NEXT_LOCALE cookie is managed by Next.js’s i18n (internationalization) system. Whenever a language switch occurs, this cookie is updated to ensure that both the server and client render the correct locale content.
