COOKIE POLICY
Tech Media Éire
Last Updated: [03/10/2026]
1. Purpose
This Cookie Policy explains how the Tech Media Éire website uses cookies and similar technologies, why they may be used and the choices available to website visitors. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policy.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a device by a website. They can support essential website functions, remember choices and, where permitted, help understand how the website is used.
3. Cookie categories we may use
· Strictly necessary cookies - required for core website functions, security and consent preferences. These do not depend on consent where they are genuinely necessary for the service requested.
· Analytics cookies - used to understand website usage and performance. Non-essential analytics should only be activated where the required consent has been obtained.
· Functional cookies - used for optional features or preferences, such as certain embedded media or enhanced functionality. Consent may be required depending on the technology and purpose.
· Third-party cookies or similar technologies - may be set by third-party services embedded in or linked from the website, such as video, booking, analytics or social-media services. Their use must reflect the tools actually enabled on the website.
4. Consent and cookie controls
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies should not be activated before the visitor has made a choice. The website's consent mechanism should allow visitors to accept or reject non-essential cookies and, where supported, choose between categories. Visitors should also be able to revisit their choice through the site's cookie-preference control where available.
5. Current cookie inventory
The specific cookies used can change when website features or suppliers change. The website owner should periodically review the live cookie/consent configuration rather than relying on a static list that may become inaccurate.
Before publishing this controlled version, confirm the live Squarespace cookie banner and any enabled analytics, embedded video, booking, social or marketing tools. Record the actual cookie names, provider, purpose, category and duration in the website cookie inventory where available.
6. Browser controls
Most browsers allow users to delete or block cookies through browser settings. Blocking some strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality. Browser controls operate separately from the website's own consent controls.
7. Retention
Cookie duration depends on the specific cookie. Some expire when the browser session ends, while others remain for a defined period. The duration shown by the live consent/cookie inventory should be treated as the authoritative technical detail for each cookie.
8. Personal data and your rights
Where cookie or analytics information constitutes personal data, it is handled in accordance with the Tech Media Éire Privacy Policy and applicable Irish and EU data-protection law. The Privacy Policy explains relevant rights and how to contact us.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when website functionality, cookie settings, analytics, embedded services, suppliers or legal requirements change. The controlled copy and public website version should be reviewed together so they remain aligned.
