ABOUT THIS POLICY This Cookie Policy explains how AIcreativexpress — a freelance creative collective based in Ajman, UAE — uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. Please read this alongside our Privacy Policy. By continuing to use our website after accepting cookies, you agree to their use as described here.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or what you clicked — and help us understand how people use our site. Similar technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage work in comparable ways and are also covered by this policy.


Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential for the website to work. They cannot be switched off and do not require your consent.

• Session security tokens
• Cookie consent preference storage (so we don’t ask you every visit)
• Basic server and load balancing functions

2. Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use our website. Data is aggregated and anonymised — we cannot identify you personally from it.

• Google Analytics 4 — tracks page views, session duration, traffic sources, and general behaviour. Data retained for 26 months.
• Hotjar (if active) — records anonymised heatmaps and session replays to help us improve the site experience.

3. Marketing & advertising cookies

These are used to deliver relevant ads and measure how our campaigns perform. They require your consent and are only set after you accept them.

• Meta Pixel — records visits, form submissions, and booking events on our site. Used to build audiences and run retargeting campaigns via Meta Ads.
• Meta Conversions API (CAPI) — a server-side companion to the Meta Pixel. Improves ad measurement accuracy, particularly for iOS users where browser-based tracking is limited.
• LinkedIn Insight Tag (if active) — measures conversions and builds audiences from LinkedIn ad campaigns.

4. Functional cookies

These improve your experience but are not essential.

• Calendly — remembers your timezone and scheduling preferences when you use our booking widget.

Language or region preferences if you set them

You can change your preferences at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in our site footer.

GDPR & EU/UK Visitors

Even though AIcreativexpress is based in Dubai and is not a registered company, we serve clients and website visitors from the EU and UK and take our GDPR obligations seriously. For these visitors:

Strictly necessary cookies are active without consent as they are required for the site to function

Non-essential cookies are only activated after you give consent

Your consent is logged with a date and preference record


OUR APPROACH We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to record and manage cookie consent in line with GDPR requirements. We do not use dark patterns or pre-ticked boxes. Your choices are respected and stored

Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new tools, change how we use existing ones, or when regulations change. We will update the effective date at the top of the page and, where the change is significant, prompt you to review and re-confirm your preferences via the consent banner.

You can withdraw consent at any time — just update your preferences via the footer link
