Cookie Policy
Last revised: 1 January 2025 | Effective: 1 January 2025
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Hidayah Chambers uses on this website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader framework for how we handle personal information.
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit it. Cookies are widely used by websites to make them function properly, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the operators of the website.
Cookies set by the website operator are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website operator — for example, analytics or advertising platforms — are called third-party cookies. Both types are used on this Site, as described below.
Some cookies are session cookies, which expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on this Site:
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submission, and security. These cookies do not gather information about you for marketing purposes. Because they are essential, they are set without requiring your consent.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| hc_session | Hidayah Chambers | Maintains session state for the enquiry form | Session |
| hc_cookie_consent | Hidayah Chambers | Records your cookie consent preferences | 12 months |
2.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently, how visitors navigate between pages, and whether they encounter errors. This information is collected in aggregate form and is used to improve the Site. These cookies are only set if you accept them via the cookie consent banner.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique users; used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data | 13 months |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics 4 | Maintains session state for GA4 | 13 months |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes users; stores and updates a unique value for each page visited | 24 hours |
Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC. For further information, see Google's Privacy Policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
2.3 Marketing Cookies
Where you have consented, we use marketing cookies from advertising platforms to measure the effectiveness of our promotional activity. These cookies track conversions — for example, whether a visitor who clicked on one of our advertisements subsequently submitted an enquiry. They do not identify you personally, but they do link your browser to a specific advertising platform's user profile.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) | Identifies browsers for conversion measurement and retargeting on Meta platforms | 3 months |
| _fbc | Meta (Facebook) | Stores the last Facebook click identifier from the referring URL | 3 months |
| _uetsid | Microsoft Advertising (Bing) | Session cookie for Microsoft UET tag; tracks user session for conversion measurement | Session |
| _uetvid | Microsoft Advertising (Bing) | Persistent cookie used by Microsoft Advertising for remarketing | 13 months |
Meta's cookie use is described in Meta's Privacy Policy. Microsoft's cookie use is described in Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
3. How to Manage Cookies
You have several options for managing cookies:
3.1 Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner will appear. You may accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or manage your preferences by category. Your selection is stored in the hc_cookie_consent cookie. You may change your preferences at any time by clearing that cookie and revisiting the Site.
3.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse all cookies, to accept only certain cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. The method varies by browser; you will usually find these settings under a "Privacy" or "Security" heading. Note that refusing or deleting strictly necessary cookies may affect the proper functioning of the Site.
3.3 Third-Party Opt-Out Tools
You may also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies via the following resources:
4. Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. There is currently no agreed standard for how websites should respond to this signal. Our Site does not respond differently to Do Not Track signals at this time. You may use the cookie management options described in Section 3 to control tracking on this Site.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we begin using new cookies or if the law or regulatory guidance changes. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to check this page periodically if you are concerned about how cookies are used on this Site.
