Cookie Policy & Disclaimer
Last updated: October 2026. This Cookie Policy explains how FIMX Mechanical Services LLC uses cookies, Google Tag Manager, and similar tracking technologies to ensure transparency and protect your privacy.
Your Cookie Choices & Consent Manager
You can inspect, review, or modify your granular cookie preferences at any time. Under GDPR and UAE PDPL, you have the right to withdraw consent as easily as giving it.
01.Introduction & Data Controller
This Cookie Policy applies to the official website of FIMX Mechanical Services LLC (fimx.ae), a 100% Emirati-owned precision engineering and CNC manufacturing facility registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
When you interact with our digital services, we may place small text files known as “cookies” or use web storage and script-based tracking tags on your device. We are dedicated to maintaining strict compliance with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (PDPL), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR 2016/679), the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC), and international data protection benchmarks.
02.What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
A cookie is a small piece of text data transferred from a web server to your computer or mobile browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to recognize your device upon subsequent visits, retain your preferred display modes, verify session integrity, and understand how visitors interact with our technical content.
First-Party vs. Third-Party
First-party cookies are generated directly by fimx.ae for core functions. Third-party cookies are served by external service providers (e.g., Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics) with our authorization.
Session vs. Persistent
Session cookies are temporary and deleted automatically when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until their expiration date or until manual removal.
In addition to cookies, we utilize modern Web Storage API features (localStorage) to store non-sensitive state such as your privacy consent record and high-contrast theme selection without transmitting cookies on every network packet.
03.Legal Basis for Cookie Processing
Under international privacy frameworks including GDPR Article 6 and the UAE PDPL, our use of cookies relies on the following lawful bases:
Legitimate Interests (Strictly Necessary Cookies)
Necessary cookies are processed on the basis of our legitimate commercial interest in delivering a secure, accessible, stable, and responsive web portal for defense, aerospace, and commercial precision manufacturing clients.
Explicit Consent (Analytics & Marketing Cookies)
All non-essential cookies (including performance analytics, advertising, and campaign tracking) are blocked by default until you provide explicit, affirmative consent via our consent banner. You may revoke or modify this consent at any time.
04.Categories of Cookies We Use
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are indispensable for website functionality and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions made by you, such as requesting a quote, setting privacy preferences, navigating between secure routes, or rendering fonts properly.
2. Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count site visits, monitor traffic sources, identify popular technical capabilities (such as 5-axis CNC milling, CNC turning, and steel fabrication), and evaluate site loading speed. All data is aggregated and anonymized. If you disable these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.
3. Marketing & Attribution Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track visitor engagement across industrial search queries and partner referrals. They help us understand which defense, aerospace, or manufacturing campaigns led prospective procurement teams to request a quote, ensuring our advertising investments remain relevant and non-repetitive.
4. Functional & Preference Storage
Functional items allow the site to remember choices you make, such as dark or light theme preferences, language preferences, and interactive calculator configurations.
05.Detailed Cookie & Storage Inventory
The following audit table provides complete technical disclosure of cookies and storage keys utilized across the fimx.ae domain:
| Cookie / Key | Provider | Category | Purpose | Lifespan | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fimx_cookie_consent | FIMX (First-party) | Necessary | Stores visitor cookie consent choices across visits | 12 Months | LocalStorage & Cookie |
| fimx-theme | FIMX (First-party) | Functional | Remembers user preference for Dark or Light interface mode | Persistent | LocalStorage |
| _ga | Google Tag Manager / GA4 | Analytics | Distinguishes unique users to compute visit, session, and campaign data | 2 Years | HTTP Cookie |
| _ga_* | Google Tag Manager / GA4 | Analytics | Maintains session state and telemetry across page visits | 2 Years | HTTP Cookie |
| _gid | Google Tag Manager / GA4 | Analytics | Stores and updates a unique value for each page visited in a 24h window | 24 Hours | HTTP Cookie |

06.Google Tag Manager & Google Consent Mode v2
Our website utilizes Google Tag Manager (Container ID: GTM-NCDBHCN), a tag management system provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).
To adhere to the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations and modern international privacy laws, we have implemented Google Consent Mode v2. By default, prior to any visitor interaction with our cookie banner, the following signals are initialized in a strict “denied” state:
analytics_storage: 'denied'ad_storage: 'denied'ad_user_data: 'denied'ad_personalization: 'denied'
Only when a visitor provides affirmative consent via the “Accept All” button or selects individual permissions in our settings modal are these signals dynamically updated to “granted”. If consent is rejected, Google Tag Manager operates without writing or reading non-essential persistent cookies.
07.How to Manage, Block, or Withdraw Consent
You maintain total control over your cookie preferences at all times. You can manage them through our on-site settings or through your browser configuration.
Option A: On-Site Consent Manager
Click the button to change or revoke your cookie choices on fimx.ae instantly.
Option B: Web Browser Controls
Most modern browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies via their settings menus. Please note that blocking all cookies may impact website responsiveness and prevent access to certain interactive engineering calculators.
08.Cross-Border Data Transfers & Security
Google Tag Manager processes analytical event data globally. Transfers of personal data to cloud servers outside the UAE or the European Economic Area (EEA) are conducted under appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 cross-border provisions.
09.Updates to this Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, new regulatory standards, or updates to our manufacturing and quote submission processes. Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
