Effective date: 13 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how M Khubaib Zia, operating through mkhubaibzia.com, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read with the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include pixels, local storage, tags and scripts. They can support essential website functions, remember choices, measure website use and, where enabled, help assess marketing activity.
2. How this website uses cookies
This website may use cookies to keep pages and forms working, protect the website, remember consent choices, understand website performance and evaluate marketing. Non-essential analytics, preference and marketing cookies are controlled through the consent banner where consent is required or selected.
3. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These technologies support core functions such as security, navigation, form operation, session management and recording cookie choices. The website may not work correctly without them. Where the law permits, they are used without optional consent because they are necessary to provide the website or a feature requested by the visitor.
Preferences
Preference technologies may remember choices such as interface or consent settings. They are optional unless a specific feature requires them.
Analytics
Analytics technologies help explain how visitors find and use pages, which content performs well and where usability can be improved. This website uses Google tools through Site Kit where configured. Analytics information is assessed in aggregate where possible. Analytics cookies are treated as non-essential and are subject to the choices available in the banner.
Marketing
Marketing technologies may be used to measure campaigns or provide more relevant advertising. These technologies may recognise a browser across websites. They are not treated as necessary and should only operate in line with the consent choice and applicable requirements.
Unclassified technologies
A technology may appear as unclassified while its purpose and provider are being reviewed. It should not be intentionally assigned an optional purpose until it has been assessed and placed in the correct category.
4. Services that may place or receive data from cookies
- WordPress and website security tools: may use essential technologies for site operation, administration and security.
- WPLP Compliance Platform: records and applies cookie-consent choices.
- Google Site Kit, Google Analytics and related Google services: may measure website use and campaign performance when configured and permitted.
- Contact and form tools: WPForms or MetForm may use necessary technologies to operate forms and prevent misuse.
- Embedded or linked services: videos, maps, social platforms or other third-party content may apply their own technologies when a visitor uses those features.
Third-party providers process information under their own terms and privacy notices. The services actually active on the website may change as the site is maintained. The consent panel and cookie scanner provide the most current operational list available on the site.
5. Your consent choices
On the first applicable visit, the banner offers clear choices to accept all optional cookies, decline them or open Cookie Settings to choose categories. Necessary cookies remain active. Declining optional cookies should not prevent access to ordinary public content, although an optional embedded feature may be unavailable.
You can reopen Cookie Settings from the consent control on the website and change or withdraw a choice. A changed choice applies from that point forward. Cookies already stored may remain until they expire or are deleted through browser settings.
6. Google Consent Mode
Where Google tags are present, the website may communicate consent choices to Google through Consent Mode. Consent Mode changes how supported Google tags behave according to the selected analytics and advertising permissions. It does not replace the banner or the visitor’s choice.
7. Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers allow cookies to be viewed, blocked or deleted. Blocking all cookies can affect essential website features. Browser controls are separate from this website’s consent panel, so visitors may use either or both.
8. Retention
Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose and provider. Session cookies normally expire when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their stated expiry, deletion or replacement. Consent records are retained only as reasonably needed to demonstrate and respect a visitor’s choice, maintain security and meet applicable obligations.
9. International visitors
This website is operated from Islamabad, Pakistan and can be accessed internationally. Privacy and cookie requirements vary by location. Where a visitor is protected by an applicable law that requires consent for non-essential storage or access technologies, the available consent choices are intended to provide meaningful control. This policy does not waive any mandatory rights.
10. Search engines, AI crawlers and automated systems
Search engines, AI crawlers and other automated systems may request publicly available pages according to their own services and the website’s technical access controls. Their crawling of public content is separate from browser cookie consent. Public access does not grant ownership of website content or permission to bypass access controls, copy protected material unlawfully, submit spam or misuse forms.
11. Updates to this policy
This policy may be updated when website tools, service providers or applicable requirements change. The effective date will be revised when a material update is published.
12. Contact
Questions about cookies, consent choices or personal information can be sent to info@mkhubaibzia.com. Postal contact: Street 126, G-11/4, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan.
