Transparency about cookies and tracking technologies we use on our website.

Last Updated: March 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Summit Studios ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at summitstudios.ae. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides further details about how we process personal data.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites function efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply reporting information. Cookies are stored on your device's browser and can be read by the website on subsequent visits.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Summit Studios) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable features or functionality provided by external services, such as analytics, advertising, and social media integrations. The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your device both when you visit our website and when you visit certain other websites.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), tracking pixels, and local storage. These technologies work in a similar way to cookies and allow us to monitor traffic patterns, improve our website, and serve relevant advertisements.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several important reasons:

  • Essential Website Functionality: Some cookies are strictly necessary for our website to operate. Without these cookies, certain features and services you have requested cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect personal information that could be used for marketing purposes.
  • Performance and Analytics: We use cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the structure, content, and functionality of our site.
  • Marketing and Advertising: We use cookies to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
  • Functionality and Preferences: These cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference, region, or display settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. These cookies help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and identify areas for improvement. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Google Analytics uses the following types of cookies:

  • _ga: Used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. Included in each page request on a site and used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for the site's analytics reports. By default, this cookie expires after two (2) years.
  • _ga_[container-id]: Used by Google Analytics to persist session state. This cookie expires after two (2) years.
  • _gid: Used to distinguish users. This cookie expires after twenty-four (24) hours.
  • _gat: Used to throttle the request rate to Google Analytics, limiting data collection on high-traffic sites. This cookie expires after one (1) minute.

For more information about Google Analytics cookies and how Google processes data, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms page. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites to allow the display of ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user. We use the following marketing technologies:

  • Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel): The Meta Pixel is a piece of code placed on our website that allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, build targeted audiences for future ads, and remarket to people who have already taken action on our website. The Meta Pixel collects data such as HTTP headers, pixel-specific data, button click data, form field values, and page metadata. For more information, visit Meta's Privacy Policy.
  • Google Ads (Google Remarketing): We use Google Ads remarketing cookies to serve targeted advertisements to users who have previously visited our website when they browse other websites within the Google Display Network. These cookies collect information about your browsing behavior to deliver personalized advertising. For more information, visit Google's Privacy Policy.
  • LinkedIn Insight Tag: The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables us to track conversions from LinkedIn advertising campaigns, retarget website visitors on LinkedIn, and gain demographic insights about our website traffic from LinkedIn members. This tag places a cookie on your browser. For more information, visit LinkedIn's Privacy Policy.

3.4 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly. Examples include:

  • Language and Region Preferences: Cookies that remember your preferred language or regional settings so you don't have to set them every time you visit.
  • Chat Widget Cookies: If we use a live chat or chatbot service, cookies may be set to maintain your chat session and conversation history.
  • Cookie Consent Preferences: A cookie that stores your cookie consent preferences so that you are not asked to accept cookies every time you visit our website.

Please note that the exact cookies used may change over time as we update and improve our website and the services we use. We will update this Cookie Policy to reflect any significant changes.

5. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use cookies from third-party partners for analytics, advertising, and functionality purposes. These third-party services have their own privacy policies addressing how they use and protect your data. We do not control the cookies or tracking technologies used by third parties, and their use is governed by the respective third party's privacy policy, not ours. Key third-party services we use include:

  • Google (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager): Google uses cookies to provide analytics data and serve targeted advertisements. You can manage your Google ad preferences through your Google Ads Settings.
  • Meta (Facebook, Instagram): Meta uses cookies for ad targeting, measurement, and optimization. You can manage your advertising preferences through your Facebook Ad Preferences.
  • LinkedIn: LinkedIn uses cookies for ad targeting and analytics. You can manage your preferences in your LinkedIn Advertising Preferences.

6. Managing Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies (except for strictly essential cookies, which are necessary for the website to function). You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:

6.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept all cookies, manage your preferences, or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage Preferences" link in the cookie banner or in the footer of our website.

6.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these settings in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser. The following links provide instructions on how to manage cookies in the most common browsers:

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of our website may not function properly, and your user experience may be affected. Blocking all cookies will also prevent the storage of your cookie preferences, meaning you may be asked to accept cookies each time you visit.

6.3 Opt-Out Tools

You can also opt out of certain third-party cookies using industry opt-out tools:

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" ("DNT") signal that sends a request to websites not to track the user. At present, our website does not respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage your cookie preferences and opt out of tracking as described in Section 6 of this policy.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in technology, or changes in applicable laws and regulations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via a banner on our website. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and related technologies.
