Cookie Policy

1. Current cookie use

The current static build does not intentionally set analytics, advertising, personalisation or other optional first-party cookies. It uses local HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts and images to display pages. The menu and on-page navigation work without storing preferences in cookies.

Hosting or security infrastructure may use strictly necessary technical mechanisms to deliver requests, balance traffic or prevent abuse. The deployed provider should be documented and this policy updated if that occurs.

2. Cookie categories

• Strictly necessary: technologies essential to deliver, secure or route a service requested by the visitor.
• Preferences: technologies that remember choices such as language or display settings.
• Analytics: technologies that measure site use and performance.
• Advertising: technologies used for attribution, profiling or targeted marketing.

Only the first category may be used without optional consent where the legal conditions are met. The current build does not intentionally deploy the other categories.

3. Sponsored links and third-party sites

Calls to action lead to a third-party website and are marked as sponsored. No third-party iframe, tracking pixel or advertising script is embedded in this build. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination site may use its own cookies under its own policies and choices.

4. Consent and browser controls

If optional cookies or similar tracking are added later, the site must provide clear information and obtain valid consent before setting them. Visitors must be able to refuse or withdraw consent as easily as they give it. Browsers also provide controls to view, block and delete cookies, although blocking essential technologies can affect delivery.

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission provides official guidance on cookies and tracking technologies.

5. Changes and questions

This policy will be revised if site technology or legal requirements change. No verified direct publisher contact has been supplied. A working contact channel should be added before optional cookies or direct personal-data collection are introduced.
