Cookie Policy

Last updated: 22 October 2026

1. About this policy

This policy explains how the website www.sparksocial.ae uses cookies and similar tools. The site is run by Sparksocial LLC-FZ, based at Meydan Free Zone, Nad Al Sheba, Floor 6, Dubai, UAE. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Sparksocial.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data in general.

If you have any question about cookies, email us at info@sparksocial.ae.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They help the site work, remember things, and show us how people use it. Similar tools, such as pixels, tags and your browser's local storage, work in a similar way. In this policy, we call all of them "cookies".

  • First-party cookies are set by our website.
  • Third-party cookies are set by other companies whose tools we use, such as Google and Meta.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others stay for a set time, shown in the list below.

3. The types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These keep the website working and safe, for example by protecting it from spam and attacks, and by remembering your cookie choice. The site cannot work properly without them.

Analytics

These show us how visitors use the site, such as which pages they visit and how long they stay, so we can improve it.

Marketing

These help us see whether our ads on platforms like Meta (Facebook and Instagram) bring visitors and leads, and help us show our ads to people who may be interested.

4. How we use cookies on this site

When you visit www.sparksocial.ae, the site loads Google Tag Manager and the Meta Pixel straight away. These tools set analytics and marketing cookies in your browser when you visit.

Google Tag Manager is a tool we use to load our analytics and advertising tags. Tag Manager does not set cookies itself, but the tools it loads may. If we use Google Analytics, it is loaded through Tag Manager.

You can turn off analytics and marketing tracking at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Section 7 explains how.

5. The cookies we use

  • _ga: Google (Google Analytics). Tells visitors apart, so we can count visits and see how the site is used. Lasts 2 years. Analytics. Only set if we use Google Analytics through our Tag Manager.
  • _ga_[ID]: Google (Google Analytics). Keeps track of your visit (session) for our Google Analytics account. Lasts 2 years. Analytics. Only set if we use Google Analytics through our Tag Manager.
  • _fbp: Meta. Recognises your browser, so we can measure and improve our Meta ads. Lasts 90 days. Marketing.
  • _fbc: Meta. Remembers that you came to the site by clicking one of our Meta ads. Lasts 90 days. Marketing.
  • ss_consent: Sparksocial. Remembers your choice if you turn tracking off or on with the "Cookie settings" link. Lasts 180 days. Strictly necessary.
  • __cf_bm: Cloudflare. Helps tell people apart from bots to protect the site from attacks. Lasts 30 minutes. Strictly necessary. Only set when Cloudflare's bot protection is on.

Google and Meta may also use their own cookies on their own domains (for example, if you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram). Their own policies cover those.

We may add or change tools in Google Tag Manager from time to time. When we add a tool that sets new cookies, we will update this list.

6. Embedded content from other companies

Some parts of our pages are loaded from other companies' services:

  • Fillout: runs our booking and creator forms.
  • Cloudflare: hosts the website, streams our videos (Cloudflare Stream) and protects the site from attacks.
  • Sanity: stores and delivers the website's text and images.
  • Behold and Instagram (Meta): show our latest Instagram posts on the site.

When your browser loads this content, these companies can see technical details such as your IP address and browser type, and some may set their own cookies to make their service work or keep it secure. Their own cookie and privacy policies apply.

7. How to control or delete cookies

On our website

Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page to turn off analytics and marketing tracking. Cookies that are already in your browser stay there until they expire or you delete them.

In your browser

All modern browsers let you see, block and delete cookies. You can usually find this under Settings, then Privacy or Security. You can also browse in a private or incognito window, which deletes cookies when you close it. If you block all cookies, some parts of the site, such as the booking form or videos, may not work properly.

Help pages for the most common browsers:

Google

Meta (Facebook and Instagram)

  • Manage how Meta uses data from other websites to show you ads in your Ad preferences (Accounts Center).

On your phone

You can also limit ad tracking in your phone settings (for example, on iPhone under Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Tracking, and on Android under Settings, then Google, then Ads).

8. Your rights

Under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law and the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law, you have rights over your personal data, including data collected through cookies. You can ask us to tell you what we hold, correct it, delete it, or stop using it for marketing. See section 10 of our Privacy Policy for the full list and how to ask. Email info@sparksocial.ae and we aim to reply within 30 days.

9. How long we keep the data

Each cookie lasts for the time shown in the list above, unless you delete it sooner. The analytics and ads data these tools collect is kept for as long as each tool's settings allow, usually no more than 14 months.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example when we add or remove a tool. We will change the "Last updated" date at the top, and for big changes we may also show a notice on the site.
