We use cookies on the ndtireland.ie website.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device. It has information in it that allows us to "remember" something as you visit pages on the site - for example whether or not you are logged in. In this document we'll explain why we set cookies, what information they contain and what choices you have as a user of this site.

We've divided this into sections so that you can easily find what you're looking for:

Essential Cookies

Session Cookies

We use a session cookie on our site so that your visit, or "session" is distinguished from other users who are visiting at the same time. A session cookie contains a unique visitor id (a 32 character alphanumeric string that is unique to your visit. It contains no data that could identify you). This session cookie is essential to our website's functionality and is deleted once you close your browser window.

Cookie Preferences

We use cookies to store your cookies preferences on this site.

These cookies can be identified as cky_* or cookieyes_* and are set for 1 year.

You can adjust your cookie preferences at any time by using the Cookie Preferences at the bottom of this page.

Non Essential Cookies

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to learn about how visitors use our site so that we can make decisions. We do not collect any data that could identify you personally. All data, including your IP address, is anonymised before it is sent to Google Analytics servers in Ireland. We keep this data for 14 months before deletion.

You'll recognise Google Analytics cookies as follows:

  1. _ga - set for 2 years. Used to distinguish visitors
  2. _ga_<container_id> - set for 2 years. Used to persist session state.
  3. _gid - set for 24 hours. Used to distinguish visitors.
  4. _gac_gb_<container_id> - set for 90 days. Contains campaign related information.

Since we don't set these cookies ourselves, you can learn more about them at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.

If you want to turn off Google Analytics on our site, you can do so by using the Cookie Preferences at the bottom of this page.
