What this site stores
Short version: no advertising cookie is written and the Meta Pixel never loads until you accept on the cookie banner. Google Analytics does load on every page, but it is set to store nothing about you unless you accept, and declining keeps it that way. Everything this site can store is listed below, in plain language.
Your consent choice
- Stored
- Browser local storage
- Why
- So the cookie banner doesn't ask again on every visit.
- Optional
- No — without it the banner cannot remember your answer.
Campaign source (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and ad click IDs such as gclid or fbclid)
- Stored
- Browser session storage, cleared when you close the tab
- Why
- So that if you send an enquiry, I can tell which campaign or search brought you here.
- Optional
- Yes — decline on the banner and nothing is stored.
Google Analytics (GA4) — pages you visit, roughly where you are, and what kind of device you use
- Stored
- Sent to Google, which may transfer it outside the UAE
- Why
- So I can see which pages people actually read and which ones are not working.
- Optional
- Partly. The script loads on every page, but it is set to store nothing until you accept. Decline and it keeps storing nothing.
Booking details when you open the calendar (name, email, and the answers you picked)
- Stored
- Sent to Cal.com, which handles the scheduling
- Why
- So the call lands in both our calendars and you get a confirmation you can reschedule from.
- Optional
- Yes — the calendar only loads if you press “Show available times”, and nothing is sent unless you book.
Meta (Facebook) Pixel — page views, and an `_fbp` cookie identifying your browser
- Stored
- Sent to Meta Platforms Ireland, which may transfer it outside the UAE
- Why
- So I can measure and retarget advertising. It loads only after you accept.
- Optional
- Yes — decline on the banner and the pixel never loads at all.
Enquiry details you type (name, email, phone, service, message)
- Stored
- Sent to my lead system when you press send
- Why
- So I can reply to you.
- Optional
- Yes — don't submit the form. Email or WhatsApp me instead.
Changing your mind
Use the button below and the banner will ask again, whichever way you answered the first time. It also clears the campaign source held for this tab. Clearing this site's data in your browser does the same thing.
What you can ask me for
You can ask what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email bilalshafqat42@gmail.com and say which.
