Cookies Policy
Last updated: 26 August 2026
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They're widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners information about how their site is used. We also use similar technologies such as your browser's local storage, and we refer to all of these as "cookies" in this policy.
This policy explains how cookies are used on blueirispartners.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more generally under the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for two purposes only:
- Essential cookies — needed for the site to function, including remembering your cookie choice. These do not require your consent and cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies— Google Analytics, which tells us which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from, and what device they use. These are only set if you click "Accept" on our cookie banner.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell any data collected through cookies.
Cookies we set
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bip-cookie-consent | Blue Iris Partners | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies so we don't ask again on every visit. | Essential | Stored in your browser until you clear it |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can measure how many people use the site. | Analytics | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. | Analytics | 2 years |
| Calendly cookies | Calendly | Set only if you open the booking widget, so Calendly can load and complete your booking. | Functional (third party) | Varies — see Calendly's own cookie notice |
Third-party services
Some cookies are set by services we rely on rather than by us directly. Each processes data under its own policy:
- Google Analytics — see Google's Privacy Policy.
- Calendly — loaded when you book a consultation; see Calendly's Privacy Notice.
Google Search Console is also used to monitor how our site appears in search results. It does not place cookies on your device.
Managing your choices
When you first visit the site you'll see a banner asking whether to allow analytics cookies. Nothing beyond essential cookies is set until you accept.
You can change your mind at any time using the button below. It re-opens the banner and shows your current setting, and if you decline, any analytics cookies already on your device are removed straight away.
You can also block or delete cookies entirely through your browser settings, though some parts of the site (such as the booking widget) may not work as expected if you do.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the services we use change. Any update will be published on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
