01What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage and tracking pixels, do a similar job. They help a site work, remember choices and understand how it is used.
This policy explains which of these citymarketing.net may use, why, and how you can control them. It should be read with my Privacy Policy. The site is run by Muhammad Azam, trading as CityMarketing.
02The types I use
| Type | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Needed for security and basic functions, such as stopping a form being sent twice or blocking spam bots. These do not need consent. | Always on |
| Analytics | Show me how visitors use the site so I can improve it, for example with Google Analytics 4. | Only if you accept |
| Advertising | Measure my ad campaigns and show relevant ads, for example the Meta Pixel. | Only if you accept |
Where the law requires consent (for example in the UK, the EU and Canada), analytics and advertising technologies are only switched on after you agree. I do not use cookies to sell your personal information.
03What may be set
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cm_last_submit | CityMarketing (session storage) | Remembers when you last sent the form, to prevent duplicate submissions. | Until you close the tab | Essential |
| Security check | Cloudflare Turnstile (if enabled) | Bot protection on the contact form. | During the check | Essential |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells visitors apart so pages and visits can be counted. | 2 years | Analytics |
| _ga_(container ID) | Google Analytics | Keeps session state for analytics. | 2 years | Analytics |
| _fbp | Meta Pixel | Identifies your browser to measure ad performance. | 3 months | Advertising |
| _fbc | Meta Pixel | Stores the ad click ID if you arrive from a Meta ad. | 3 months | Advertising |
Analytics and advertising items only run if you have accepted them. The site also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which does not set cookies but does send your IP address to Google. Durations can change when providers update their tools.
