Cookie Policy & Transparency
This policy explains how abdullahmamun.com deploys strictly essential first-party cookies and local storage tokens to deliver high-performance browsing, with zero third-party behavioral advertising tracking.
Executive Privacy Pledge
In accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we adhere to strict data minimization. We do not sell your data, we do not employ third-party advertising cookies, and we do not engage in cross-site behavioral profiling.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you access websites. They are widely used to make web applications function efficiently, preserve user preferences across sessions, and provide basic operational telemetry to site administrators.
Under the UK legal framework, cookies are categorized into:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the operation of the website, user authentication, and accessibility preferences. These do not require user consent under Regulation 6 of PECR.
- Functional & Preference Cookies: Used to recognize you when you return to our website (e.g. your choice between Dark Obsidian and Light Platinum visual modes).
- Analytics & Performance Cookies: Aggregated, anonymized telemetry to assess server health and page load latency.
- Targeting / Advertising Cookies: Trackers used to profile users and deliver behavioral advertisements across the internet. This website deploys zero targeting or advertising cookies.
2. Cookies & Storage Deployed on This Platform
The table below lists all cookies and local browser storage identifiers used on abdullahmamun.com:
| Identifier | Provider | Category | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| am-theme | First-Party (LocalStorage) | Functional / Preference | Remembers your chosen UI theme (Dark Obsidian vs. Light Platinum) across visits. | Persistent until cleared by user |
| session_state | First-Party (SessionStorage) | Strictly Necessary | Maintains active consultation brief state and prevents duplicate form transmissions. | Session (cleared upon closing browser) |
Because all cookies deployed on this site are strictly functional or essential for visual delivery, they are exempt from cookie banner fatigue requirements under PECR Regulation 6(4).
3. Third-Party Integrations & Embedded Frames
To deliver interactive geographical coordinates for our global headquarters in Codicote, Hertfordshire, we incorporate a sandboxed Google Maps frame on our Contact Page.
This embed is configured with referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" and loads within an isolated sandbox. While Google may set strictly necessary technical cookies to render the map tiles, our implementation suppresses tracking parameters and does not share your consultation brief data with Google or any external ad network.
4. Managing & Disabling Cookies

- View what cookies and storage keys are stored on your device.
