1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a site. We also use comparable technologies — pixels, tracking tags, local storage and session storage — and refer to all of them as "cookies" in this policy.
First-party cookies are set by aiexplorermedia.com. Third-party cookies are set by partners such as Google or Meta when their tags are enabled.
2. Categories we use
Every tag on the site belongs to exactly one of these categories.
- Strictly necessary — session integrity, consent state, security, load balancing and form protection. Always on; typically session to 12 months.
- Performance and analytics — Google Analytics 4 and first-party event tracking to measure pages, sources and conversion paths. Typically 14 months.
- Functional — remembering preferences such as saved form inputs, selected tabs and locale. Typically 6 to 12 months.
- Marketing and advertising — Meta Pixel, Google Ads and similar tags for audience building, remarketing and conversion attribution. Typically 90 days to 13 months.
3. How tags are governed
All non-essential tags are deployed through Google Tag Manager and are gated behind consent mode, so they fire only when the matching category is accepted. New tags are reviewed against this policy before publication, and the container is audited quarterly.
Where consent is declined we fall back to aggregated, cookieless measurement that cannot identify an individual.
4. Managing your choices
Use the consent banner on your first visit, or reopen preferences at any time from the link in the site footer, to accept or reject each non-essential category. Your choice is stored for twelve months and then requested again.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and enable Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, which we honour as a rejection of non-essential categories. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break forms and secure areas of the site.
5. Third-party processors
Analytics and advertising cookies transmit data to their respective providers, who act as independent or joint controllers under their own terms. Review Google's and Meta's privacy notices for details of their processing, retention and international transfers.
6. Updates
As our measurement stack changes we will update the categories and examples above and revise the last-updated date. Significant additions trigger a fresh consent request.
