Cookie Policy
How Islamic Naming uses cookies and similar technologies — and how you can control them.
On This Page
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
We also use similar technologies such as web beacons (small transparent images that track how you interact with the Site) and local storage (browser storage that keeps data between visits, used for features like the Name Shortlist Builder).
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for the Site to function. These cannot be disabled without affecting the Site's core functionality. Examples: session management, form submissions, security tokens.
Preference Cookies
Remember your preferences such as language, region, and display settings. These improve your experience but are not strictly necessary.
Analytics Cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived. We use this to improve content and navigation. Data is aggregated and anonymized.
Advertising Cookies
Used by our advertising partners (Google AdSense, Ezoic, Mediavine, or similar) to show you ads that may be relevant to you. These cookies may track your browsing across other sites to build a profile of interests.
Functional Cookies
Enable enhanced features like the Name Shortlist Builder (saving your favorite names), audio pronunciations, and interactive tools.
3. Specific Cookies We Use
The specific cookies present may vary as we add or remove features and advertising partners.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. We do not control these cookies directly. The main third parties are:
- Google Analytics: Google's cookie policy
- Google AdSense / Ezoic / Mediavine: Advertising cookies from ad network partners
- Cloudflare: Security and performance (Cloudflare's cookie policy)
- Social embeds: If we embed content from Pinterest, Instagram, or YouTube, they may set their own cookies
5. How to Control Cookies
You have several ways to control cookies:
- Cookie banner: When you first visit our Site, you can accept or reject non-essential cookies via our cookie banner.
- Browser settings: You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies (instructions below).
- Opt-out tools: Ad-industry opt-out tools like aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.
- Google-specific: Manage Google's use of cookies at Google Ads Settings.
Please note: Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the Site (such as the Shortlist Builder) from working properly.
6. Browser-Specific Instructions
7. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting they not track you. There is no industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT signals. Currently, we do not respond to DNT signals, but you can control cookies using the methods described above.
8. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable law. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date above.
