Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones are used on cigese-fihopu.info, what they do, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context for how personal data is handled on this site.

The use of cookies on this website is governed by the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011, which implement the EU ePrivacy Directive in Ireland, and by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Under these rules, cookies that are not strictly necessary for the operation of the website require your prior consent before being set. We obtain that consent through the cookie consent banner displayed when you first visit the site.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be switched off through our consent tool. They are typically set in response to actions you take on the site, such as setting your privacy preferences or navigating between pages. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information and do not require consent under the ePrivacy Regulations.

The cookie consent preference cookie — stored under the name cfi_consent — is a strictly necessary cookie. It records your cookie preference so that the consent banner does not reappear on every page visit. It contains only your consent choice (accepted or declined) and does not contain any personal information. It expires after 365 days.

Analytics Cookies

If you consent to analytics cookies, we may use a third-party analytics service to understand how visitors use this website in aggregate. Analytics cookies collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the site, browser type, and approximate geographic location based on IP address. This information is used to improve the website and is not used to identify individual visitors. Analytics cookies are only set after you have provided consent through the cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time by returning to the cookie settings through the banner.

No Advertising or Targeting Cookies

This website does not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies designed to track your browsing activity across other websites for advertising purposes. We do not share cookie data with advertising networks. The site is an informational reading collection and does not engage in behavioural advertising of any kind.

Third-Party Cookies

The contact page of this website includes an embedded Google Maps iframe. If you interact with the embedded map, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with Google's own cookie and privacy policies. These cookies are outside our control. We recommend reviewing Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy if you wish to understand how Google uses cookies in this context. The embedded map is a display-only feature and does not require interaction.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time. Our cookie consent tool appears as a floating card in the top-left corner of your screen on your first visit. You can use it to accept or decline non-essential cookies, or to access the full category settings. Your preference is stored in the cfi_consent cookie and applied on subsequent visits.

In addition to our on-site tool, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically find these in the browser's privacy or security settings. You can choose to block all cookies, accept only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Browser-level cookie controls are independent of our consent tool — changes made in your browser settings will override the preferences stored in the cfi_consent cookie.

Further information about managing cookies in specific browsers is available from the browser developer's support pages. The website www.allaboutcookies.org also provides general guidance on cookie management across different browsers and devices.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies used on this website or when applicable law requires. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. If we introduce new categories of cookie that require consent, we will update the consent tool accordingly and, where appropriate, request fresh consent from returning visitors.
