Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

2. Our Approach to Cookies

3. Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies (No Consent Required)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled:

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Privacy-Friendly)

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics which is privacy-friendly and does NOT:

• Collect personal data
• Use cookies
• Track you across websites
• Require consent under GDPR

Cloudflare Analytics provides us with basic, anonymous information like:

• Number of visitors (aggregated)
• Popular pages
• Geographic region (country level only)
• Browser type

4. What We DON'T Use

To protect your privacy, we explicitly DO NOT use:

• Google Analytics - No tracking across websites
• Facebook Pixel - No social media tracking
• Advertising Cookies - No targeted ads
• Third-Party Tracking - No data sharing with advertisers
• Marketing Cookies - No behavioral profiling

5. Stripe Payment Cookies

When you make a payment, Stripe (our payment processor) may set cookies to:

• Prevent fraud
• Process your payment securely
• Remember your payment method (if you choose)

These cookies are essential for payment processing. Learn more: Stripe Privacy Policy

6. Your Rights & Controls

6.2 Disabling Cookies

You can disable all cookies, but this may affect website functionality. Essential security cookies may still be set for site operation.

6.3 Do Not Track

We respect "Do Not Track" browser signals. Since we don't use tracking cookies anyway, enabling DNT doesn't change how we handle your data.

7. Irish DPC Compliance

This Cookie Policy complies with:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. 336/2011)
• Irish Data Protection Act 2018
• Data Protection Commission (Ireland) cookie guidance

No consent banner required: Since we only use essential cookies and privacy-friendly analytics, we don't need a cookie consent banner under Irish law.

8. Client Websites

Websites we build for clients follow the same privacy-first approach:

• No advertising cookies
• No third-party tracking
• Privacy-friendly analytics only (if any)
• Each client website has its own privacy and cookie policy

9. Changes to This Policy

If we add new cookies or change how we use them, we'll update this policy and notify you via email. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes.
