1. What this policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how EduEire uses cookies and similar technologies on its website and services.
If you would like more detail about cookies currently used on the live site, please email support@edueire.ie.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are commonly used to make websites work properly, remember preferences, and help website operators understand how services are used.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies where needed to operate key parts of the service, such as:
- user authentication
- session management
- security and service integrity
These cookies do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary for the service to function.
4. Analytics cookies and similar technologies
We use PostHog, hosted in the EU, to understand how the service is used and improve it. It is not activated unless you give consent, and no analytics cookie is set before you accept.
The analytics cookies we use are:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
__ph_opt_in_out_... | Remembers your accept/reject decision so we do not ask again | 6 months |
ph_..._posthog | A random identifier that lets us count visits and usage patterns. Set only after you accept | 6 months |
The consent decision itself expires after 6 months, in line with Irish Data Protection Commission guidance, after which we ask again.
Session recording is disabled.
5. Your choices
When you first visit, a banner offers you the choice to accept or reject analytics cookies. Rejecting them does not change how the service works.
You can change your mind at any time:
- Click "Cookie preferences" in the footer of any page to re-open the banner and make a different choice. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
- If you withdraw consent, the analytics cookie is removed.
- You can also delete cookies directly in your browser's settings at any time.
If you would like more detail about your choices, please email support@edueire.ie.
6. Third-party services
Some cookies or similar technologies may be provided through third-party services that support authentication, analytics, or other core website functions.
Where those technologies are non-essential, they will only be used after consent.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page with the updated date.
