1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, remember your preferences, and provide analytics data to website operators.

We also use similar technologies, including local storage (browser-based key/value storage) and pixel tags (invisible 1×1 images used for conversion tracking). This policy covers all such technologies collectively.

2. Cookie Categories We Use

We group our cookies into four categories based on their purpose:

3. Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit the Site, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You can choose to accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customise your preferences. The preference panel mirrors the categories above:

You can update your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page, or by contacting us at privacy@claydesk.ai.

4. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the Site.

For Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

The Site may link to third-party websites (such as partner sites, regulatory bodies, or Cal.com for consultation booking). These sites have their own cookie policies and we are not responsible for their practices. We recommend reviewing the privacy and cookie policies of any external sites you visit.

6. Consent Under UAE PDPL and GDPR

For visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), consent to non-essential cookies is obtained in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous.

For all users, our practices comply with UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (PDPL) regarding the collection of personal data through technical means.

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or remove cookies or as laws change. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated via the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
