What is a cookie?
A cookie is usually a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It can contain personal data such as an IP address, a username, a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers.
Websites use cookies in order to improve the visitor experience by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’). Session cookies are stored temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are saved on your computer or device for a fixed period and not deleted when the browser is closed.
Cookies serve a number of important functions, including to remember a user and their previous interactions with a website. They can be used, for example, to keep track of items in an online shopping cart or to keep track of information when you input details into an online application form.
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’) (e.g. a website may contain content embedded from services such as YouTube and these services may set their own cookies).
The EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended by 2009/136/EC) sets out the law on cookies and was
implemented in Ireland by the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services)
(Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (the “ePrivacy Regulations”).
Under the ePrivacy Regulations, cookies can only be used where the user consents, unless certain exceptions apply (for example if they are strictly necessary for the performance and functionality of the website). The cookies used by this website are set out below, along with details of their purpose, whether they are session cookies or persistent cookies, and first party cookies or third party cookies.
We use the following cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that enable core functionality of the website, such as security,
network management and accessibility. These cookies do not require your consent, but you can disable these cookies by changing your browser settings as detailed below, although this may affect how the website functions.
