Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Bizvisor uses cookies and similar technologies on bizvisor.ae, why we use them, and the choices you have. It complements our Privacy Policy, which explains more fully how we handle your personal data. By continuing to use our site, you agree to our use of cookies as described here, except where your consent is required and you have not given it.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They let the site remember your actions and preferences over time, recognise your device on return visits, and understand how the site is being used. We also use similar technologies — such as pixels, tags and local storage — and in this policy we refer to all of them simply as “cookies”.

Cookies do not typically identify you by name, but they may be linked to information you provide or to your device and browsing activity. Where the information collected through cookies counts as personal data, it is handled in line with our Privacy Policy.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies to keep the site working properly and secure, to remember your preferences, to understand how visitors find and use bizvisor.ae, and to measure how well our advertising performs. This helps us improve the site, respond to enquiries more effectively, and make our marketing more relevant and less wasteful.

3. The categories of cookies we use

We group the cookies on our site into four categories:

• Strictly necessary — needed for the site to function, load pages, keep sessions secure and remember basic choices. These cannot be switched off without affecting how the site works.
• Analytics — help us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how people arrive, so we can improve it. For example, we use Google Analytics.
• Advertising and measurement — help us measure and improve our advertising, including which campaigns lead to enquiries. For example, we use Google Ads, which may set click identifiers (such as the “gclid” parameter) so we can connect an ad click to a later enquiry.
• Functional and preference — remember choices you make, such as tools you interact with on the site (for example our AI advisor, AgentBiz), to give you a smoother experience.

4. The main cookies and providers we use

The list below describes the main cookies and providers on our site by purpose. We describe them by provider and function rather than listing specific cookie names or IDs, as these can change over time:

• Bizvisor (bizvisor.ae) — strictly necessary and functional: core site operation, security, and remembering preferences you set.
• Google Analytics — analytics: understanding how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
• Google Ads — advertising and measurement: measuring campaign performance and connecting ad clicks (for example via a “gclid” identifier) to enquiries.
• WhatsApp / Meta — functional: enabling and supporting the WhatsApp contact option where you choose to use it.
• Hosting and content-delivery providers — strictly necessary: serving the site reliably and securely.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use, such as Google. These providers set and read cookies under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control. We recommend you review the policies of the relevant providers — for example, Google — to understand how they use cookies and the choices they offer. Our own use of the data we receive is covered by our Privacy Policy.

6. How long cookies last

Cookies last for different lengths of time depending on their purpose:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, or until you delete them, so the site can recognise your device on return visits.

7. How to control or refuse cookies

You have several ways to control cookies. Please note that blocking or deleting some cookies — particularly strictly necessary ones — may affect how the site works and stop some features from functioning properly.

• Browser settings — most browsers let you see the cookies stored, block or delete them, and refuse cookies from some or all sites. Check your browser’s help pages for how to do this.
• On-site controls — where we provide cookie controls or a consent banner on bizvisor.ae, you can use them to accept or decline non-essential cookies and to change your choice later.
• Advertising choices — you can adjust or opt out of personalised advertising through the settings offered by providers such as Google.

8. Consent and how to withdraw it

Where the law requires your consent for non-essential cookies, we ask for it before setting them, and strictly necessary cookies are used without consent because the site cannot function without them. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using our on-site cookie controls where available, or by adjusting or clearing cookies through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect cookies already used before you changed your choice.

9. Relationship with our Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy sits alongside and complements our Privacy Policy. The Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use and how to control them; the Privacy Policy explains more fully how we collect, use, share and protect your personal data, including any data gathered through cookies, and the rights you have. We recommend reading both together.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
