Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your session state, preferences, or browsing activity — so your next visit is smoother and more relevant.

Similar technologies include web beacons (tiny pixels embedded in pages or emails), local storage objects, and session storage. Throughout this policy, we use ‘cookies’ to refer to all these technologies collectively.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. They enable core features such as navigation, form submission, and security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies, as the site cannot operate without them.

Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies collect anonymized data about how visitors use our website — pages viewed, time on site, bounce rate, and traffic sources. We use this data to improve our website and better understand our audience. We currently use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences and choices (such as your preferred language or whether you’ve dismissed a banner) to deliver a more personalized experience. Disabling these may reduce personalization features.

Marketing & Retargeting Cookies

These cookies are set by third-party advertising platforms (such as LinkedIn Insight Tag or Google Ads) to track visitors across websites and help us serve relevant advertisements. We only activate these with your consent where applicable.

We use cookie data to:

• Maintain and secure user sessions and prevent fraud
• Analyze website traffic and measure the effectiveness of our content
• Understand how prospective clients discover and engage with our services
• Optimize page performance and identify technical errors
• Deliver relevant paid advertising to users who have previously visited our site
• Personalize content and remember display preferences across visits

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu. You can typically find these controls under Settings > Privacy or Settings > Cookies. Refer to your browser’s support documentation for specific instructions.

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions

Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling essential cookies will prevent core site functionality. Disabling analytics or functional cookies will not affect your ability to browse the site but may reduce personalization. You will need to manage preferences on each browser and device you use.

Some cookies on buraq.dev are set by third-party services that appear on or integrate with our pages. These include:

• Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (anonymized IP addresses)
• LinkedIn Insight Tag — professional audience analytics and retargeting
• Google Ads — conversion tracking for paid advertising campaigns
• Calendly , scheduling tools — session management for booking calls

We do not sell cookie-derived data to third parties. Data collected via third-party cookies is governed by the respective third party’s privacy policy. We encourage you to review them. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session state during a single browsing visit.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after your browsing session ends, until their expiration date or until you delete them manually. Retention periods vary:

• Analytics cookies: Up to 26 months (Google Analytics default)
• Functional/preference cookies: 30 to 365 days
• Marketing/retargeting cookies: 30 to 90 days
• Essential/security cookies: Duration of session or up to 24 hours

Some browsers and browser extensions send a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) signal that requests websites not to track user activity. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals.

At this point of time, buraq.dev does not change its data collection practices in response to DNT signals. However, you can control tracking via the browser controls described in Section 4 above. We will update this policy if a binding standard is established.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology stack, legal obligations, or business practices. The ‘Last Updated’ date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
