Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners. Cookies do not contain viruses or malware and cannot access other information on your device. They are stored either for the duration of your browser session (session cookies) or for a set period of time (persistent cookies).
Ceart Digital uses cookies to ensure our website functions correctly, to understand how visitors interact with our site, and to improve the overall experience. We use a minimal cookie footprint and do not use cookies for advertising targeting or retargeting on our own website. We do not sell cookie data to third parties. The cookies we set are either strictly necessary for the site to function, or analytical in nature to help us understand usage patterns.
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between pages. Without these cookies, parts of the site may not work correctly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require your consent under GDPR.
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors use our website. This includes which pages are visited, how long visitors spend on each page, where visitors come from, and what device and browser they use. This data is aggregated and anonymised and is used solely to improve our website. Google Analytics sets cookies including _ga, _gid, and _gat. These cookies require your consent and are only set if you accept analytics cookies.
Some pages on our website may include content or functionality provided by third parties, such as embedded videos or social media widgets. These third parties may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies and they are governed by the privacy policies of the relevant third parties. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third party services you interact with on our site.
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period. The Google Analytics _ga cookie persists for 2 years, the _gid cookie for 24 hours, and the _gat cookie for 1 minute. Any preference cookies we set to remember your cookie choices persist for 12 months, after which you may be asked to confirm your preferences again.
You have the right to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Each browser handles cookie management differently. In Chrome, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and other site data. In Firefox, go to Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data. In Safari, go to Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data. In Edge, go to Settings, then Cookies and site permissions. Clearing cookies will log you out of most websites and reset your preferences across the web.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to check this page periodically. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about how we use cookies or this Cookie Policy, please contact us at hello@ceartdigital.ie. We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day. For broader data protection queries, you can also contact the Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
We keep it simple.
