This page explains the cookies and similar browser storage that dubaibusinessinsight.com uses, what each one does, and how to change your choice.

## What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Browser storage (such as "local storage") works in a similar way. Websites use them to remember choices and to measure how pages are used.

## Our approach

- The site works fully with no optional cookies at all.
- Before you choose, we set no cookies and Google Analytics does not load.
- Analytics cookies are set only after you click "Accept". If you click "Reject", Google Analytics never loads.
- We don't use advertising, social media or cross-site tracking cookies.

## The cookies and storage we use

| Name | Type | Set by | What it does | How long |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| dbi_consent | Strictly necessary (browser local storage, not a cookie) | Us | Remembers whether you clicked "Accept" or "Reject", so we don't ask again on every page | Until you clear your browser data |
| _ga | Analytics (only after "Accept") | Google Analytics | Tells one visitor apart from another, without telling us who you are | Up to 13 months |
| _ga_P9FVB2BKVR | Analytics (only after "Accept") | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your current visit | Up to 13 months |
| wordpress_*, wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-* | Strictly necessary | Us | Keep our editors signed in to the site's admin area. Never set for readers | Session, or up to 1 year |

Strictly necessary storage doesn't need your consent because the site needs it to work as you asked. Everything else waits for your "Accept".

## Other websites

When you click a link to another site, a share button (WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X) or a "Summarize with AI" button, you leave our site. The other site may set its own cookies under its own policy.

## How to change your choice

- Click "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page and choose again.
- Delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. You will see our banner again on your next visit.
- Most browsers let you block cookies completely. Our site still works if you do.
- Google also offers a [browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) on every website.

## Changes

If we add or remove a cookie, we will update this table and the "Updated" date first. We will always ask before adding any optional cookie.
