This Cookies Policy explains how The Workhouse Dunfanaghy uses cookies and similar technologies on our website https://dunfanaghyworkhouse.com/.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners.

Cookies may be either “session” cookies (which are deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them).

2. Cookies used on this website

This website uses only strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

We do not use:

• Performance or analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
• Advertising or targeting cookies
• Functional cookies for third-party content (e.g. embedded videos, social media plugins, maps)
• Any persistent tracking cookies

The only cookies present are strictly necessary session cookies required for basic website operation (for example, to remember which page you are on during navigation or to handle form submissions securely during your visit).

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under the Irish ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. No. 336 of 2011) and the ePrivacy Directive as implemented in Ireland.
