Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and what choices you have. It applies to womaji-xikuyi.info and is written in plain language to help you understand what is happening when you visit this site.

Cookies: a plain explanation

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device when you visit. Cookies help websites remember things, like whether you have already agreed to cookie terms, or how you arrived at the site. They are not programmes and cannot carry viruses.

Irish and EU law, specifically the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (implementing the ePrivacy Directive) and the GDPR, require that we tell you about the cookies we use and, where those cookies are not strictly necessary, obtain your consent before placing them.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

The wxi_consent cookie is strictly necessary. It remembers the choices you made in the cookie consent panel. Without it, we would have to ask you every time you visit. This cookie does not track you or collect any personal data beyond your consent preference. Because it is strictly necessary, it does not require your consent to be placed.

Analytics cookies

The analytics cookie is only placed if you consent to it. It collects anonymous information about page visits, such as which pages are viewed and how long visitors spend on the site. This data helps us understand what content is being read and improve the site over time. It does not identify you as an individual.

If you decline analytics cookies, your visit will still work exactly the same. You will simply not be counted in our anonymous visitor data.

Managing your preferences

When you first visit this site, a consent panel appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You can accept all cookies, decline optional cookies, or customise your preferences. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will reset the consent panel on your next visit.

You can also control cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. The following links explain how to do this in common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions

Be aware that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, though for this site the impact would be minimal given the small number of cookies in use.

Third-party cookies

This website embeds a Google Maps iframe on the contact page. Google may set its own cookies when that map loads. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com for details on how Google uses cookies.

We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking cookies, or any other third-party cookies beyond the Google Maps embed.

Questions

If you have questions about how we use cookies, please contact us at [email protected]. For broader data protection questions, our Privacy Policy provides more detail.
