Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Celebrates.ie keeps its use of them to a minimum: today it uses only the cookies and browser storage it needs to work. It does not use advertising cookies or sell data about your browsing.
What we use
- Sign-in cookies (WordPress): remember that you are signed in and keep your session secure. They are set only when you sign in and last until you sign out or for up to 14 days if you choose “remember me”.
- celebrates_consent: remembers your choice on the cookie notice, for 6 months.
- Saved businesses (browser storage): when you tap the heart while signed out, the list is kept in your browser so it is still there later. When you sign in it is moved to your account.
- Security: forms use a one-time security token, and, once switched on, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a visitor is a person. Turnstile may set a short-lived cookie for that check.
Things that are not cookies but are worth knowing
We count visits to a business page and taps on its contact buttons so the business can see how many people reached out. This is done on our own server, ignores bots and does not follow you around the web.
If we add anything else
If we ever add analytics, maps, embedded video or anything else that sets non-essential cookies, we will ask you first and will not switch them on until you agree. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the celebrates_consent cookie, which shows the notice again.
Your browser
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block the sign-in cookies, you will not be able to sign in.
