How We Use Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. Similar technologies (localStorage, pixels) serve the same purposes. This policy explains exactly which ones this website uses.

These are required for the website to function and are always active:

• NEXT_LOCALE: Remembers your language choice (English / Arabic). Stored for 12 months.
• cloudtopia-locale (localStorage): A backup copy of your language choice kept in your browser.

These load on every visit, after the page has finished loading, so we can see how the site is used and measure our marketing. They never affect how the site works for you:

• _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics 4): Help us understand how visitors use the site — pages visited, time on page, approximate region. Stored for up to 13 months. Data is processed by Google LLC.
• _fbp (Meta Pixel): Helps us measure the effectiveness of our marketing on Facebook and Instagram. Stored for 90 days. Data is processed by Meta Platforms.

Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which we use for performance monitoring, are cookieless: they set no cookies and identify no individual visitors.

Some sections embed third-party content that may use its own cookies once it loads:

• Clutch.co review widget: Loads only when the reviews section approaches your screen.
• WhatsApp: Clicking a WhatsApp button opens wa.me (operated by Meta). We pass no personal data — only a pre-filled greeting message.

You can block or delete these cookies at any time from your browser settings (usually under Privacy → Cookies → See all site data); the site keeps working, though your language preference will reset. You can also turn off Google Analytics on every website with Google's official opt-out add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), and manage Meta ads from your Facebook or Instagram ad preferences. If you chose "Necessary only" on our earlier cookie banner, we keep respecting that choice on your device.

Questions about this policy: info@cloudtopia.net. See also our Privacy Policy at cloudtopia.net/privacy for how we handle personal data generally.
