Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies allow the website to remember things about your visit — such as your preferences — and to understand how the site is used. Most modern websites use them. Some are essential for the site to function; others are optional.
This site uses two storage mechanisms: traditional browser cookies and "localStorage", which is a similar mechanism that stores data in your browser without sending it back to the server with every request. Both are covered by this policy.
2. Cookies and Storage We Use
| Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Duration | First / Third party |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent | irishchronicals.com | Essential (localStorage) | Remembers your cookie preferences so the banner does not reappear on every page | Until cleared by you | First-party |
| _pa_session | Plausible Analytics | Analytics | Aggregated, anonymous traffic measurement (no cross-site tracking, no personal data) | 30 minutes | Third-party (only if Analytics is enabled) |
We do not use advertising cookies. We do not use social-media tracking pixels. We do not use any cookies for cross-site tracking or behavioural advertising.
3. How to Accept, Reject or Change Your Choice
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner offers three options:
- Accept All — allow essential, functional, analytics and (if any) advertising categories
- Reject Non-Essential — only essential cookies / storage will be used
- Customize — open a panel where you can switch each category individually
You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's site data for irishchronicals.com (which removes the stored consent) and reloading the home page; the banner will reappear.
4. Browser Instructions
You can also manage cookies directly in your browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
For a general guide to cookies and how to manage them, see allaboutcookies.org.
5. Changes to This Policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this page and reset the cookie consent banner so that you can review your choices.
