Last updated: 2 July 2026

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your browser when you visit a website. They help sites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how visitors use the site.

2. Cookies we use

CMO.ie uses two categories of cookies:

Essential cookies (always set)

These are necessary for the site to function. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because the site would not work without them.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

These cookies are set by Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and help us understand how visitors use CMO.ie -- which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where visitors come from. They are only loaded if you click "Accept" on the cookie consent banner.

CookiePurposeDurationType

3. How to control cookies

When you first visit CMO.ie, a banner at the bottom of the page asks whether you accept analytics cookies. You can click "Refuse" to prevent GA4 cookies from being set.

If you previously accepted and want to withdraw consent, you can:

  • Clear the cmo_cookie_consent cookie from your browser settings. The consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
  • Clear all cookies for cmo.ie in your browser's privacy settings.
  • Use your browser's built-in cookie controls to block third-party cookies from Google Analytics.

4. Third-party cookies

The only third-party cookies CMO.ie may set are Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*), and only after you give consent. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media trackers, or any other third-party tracking.

5. Privacy Policy

This Cookie Policy is part of our broader Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

6. Changes to this policy

If we add new types of cookies or change how existing cookies work, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above. If a new non-essential cookie category is introduced, you will be asked to consent again.
