Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure that we give our visitors the best possible experience by providing you personalised information, remembering your marketing and product preferences, and helping you obtain the right information. You can find out more about cookies and similar technologies, how we use them, and how to control them below.

Use of cookies and similar technologies

This notice describes how Greystones Family Resource Centre Training Network, our partners, and any third parties use cookies and

similar technologies (such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, JavaScript, and local storage). We will refer to these cookies and similar technologies simply as “cookies” for the rest of notice. We will also describe what options you may have regarding those cookies.


In some cases, we may use cookies to collect information that is personally identifiable, or that can become personally identifiable if we. In such cases, our Privacy Policy will apply in addition to this notice.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files—usually consisting of letters and numbers—placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device, when you use that device to visit a web site. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites operate, work more efficiently, and provide analytic information.

These are the different types of cookies we and our service providers may use on our sites:

  • Essential cookies. These cookies are required for the operation of our sites and enable you to move around the sites and use their features. Disabling these cookies will encumber the sites’ performance and may make the features and service unavailable.

  • Analytics and customization cookies. These cookies allow us to analyse activities on our sites and on other sites where we post content in order to improve and optimize the way our sites work. For example, we may use these types of cookies to ensure that visitors can easily find the information they are looking for on our websites. One way we do this is to recognize and count the number of visitors and see how they move around our website when they are using it. Analytics cookies also help us measure the performance of our advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our advertising campaigns and to optimize our sites’ content for those who engage with our advertising.

  • Functionality cookies. These cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our sites. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences.

  • Advertising cookies. These cookies record your online activities, including your visits to our sites, the pages you have visited, and the links you have clicked. One purpose of this is to help make the content displayed on our sites more relevant to you. Another purpose is to allow us and our service providers to deliver advertisements or other communications to you that are designed to be more relevant to your apparent interests. When we and our service providers do so, this also involves partners such as publishers, data management platforms, and demand side platforms that help to manage the data. We and our service providers and partners may also append other data to information collected by these cookies, including information obtained from third parties, and share this information with third parties for the purpose of delivering ads to you.

​​

How long do cookies stay on my device?

Some cookies operate from the time you visit our site to the end of that particular web browsing session. These cookies expire and are automatically deleted when you close your Internet browser. These cookies are called “session” cookies.

Some cookies will stay on your device between browsing sessions—they do not expire when you close your browser. These cookies are called “persistent” cookies. The length of time a persistent cookie stays on your device varies from cookie to cookie. We and others use persistent cookies for a variety of purposes, such as to store your preferences so that they are available for the next visit, and to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit our sites, how often you return, how your use of the sites may vary over time, and the effectiveness of advertising efforts.

Who puts the cookies on my device?

Cookies may be placed on your device by Greystones Family Resource Centre as the site operator. These cookies are called “first party” cookies. Some cookies may be placed on your device by a party other than Greystones Family Resource Centre. These cookies are called “third party” cookies.
Third Party cookies may be used to allow us and third parties to know when you visit our sites, and to understand how you interact with e-mails, advertisements, or other content. Through cookies, aggregate and other information not identifying individual users (such as your operating system, browser version, and the URL you came from, including from e-mails and advertisements) may be obtained and used to enhance your experience and understand traffic patterns. This technology counts the number of users who visit a particular page from specific online ads outside the Greystones Family Resource Centre. It is also used as a tool to compile aggregated statistics about how Greystonesfrc.ie is used, to perform analytics and help us to optimize our sites, and to help serve you advertising based on your interests, as described in further detail below.

How does Greystones Family Resource Centre use online and mobile advertising?

We and third parties, including technology partners, and service providers may engage in interest-based advertising to deliver advertisements and personalized content that we believe will be of interest to you. To the extent third party vendors are using cookies to perform these services for Greystones Family Resource Centre or others, Greystones Family Resource Centre does not control the use of this technology or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

Ads may be delivered to you based on your online or mobile behavior, your search activity, your responses to one of our advertisements or e-mails, the pages you visit, your general geographic location, or other information. These ads may appear on our sites or on third party web sites.


How do I manage cookies?

You can decide whether or not to accept cookies. One way you can do this is through your internet browser’s settings. Most internet browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings (please note that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies you may not be able to access parts of our web site).

​

What about other tracking technologies?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Greystones Family Resource Centre may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our web sites or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Privacy

Greystones Family Resource Centre is committed to privacy. For more information about our approach to privacy see our Privacy Policy.
