You can change or withdraw your consent from the cookie declaration on our site at any time.
Cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as beacons, scripts, web beacons, and tags (which together we refer to as “cookies“), are small bits of text, usually stored on a user’s computer hard drive or within a browser. They enable a site to remember information about the user’s visit to the site. On the site, we use device ids or advertising ids in a similar manner to which we use cookies. We and some third-party partners (as described below) use cookies on our site, our mobile site, and within emails or other communications we send to you (we refer to these together as the Irish Heritage News “site“).
To the extent the cookies we use for these purposes lead to the processing of your personal information, details about how we use that personal information and your rights over that personal information are discussed in our Privacy Policy.

Your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address is an identifying number that is automatically assigned to your computer or device by your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”). This number may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited. The irishheritagenews.ie site may use the IP addresses of all users to calculate site usage levels, to help diagnose problems with the site’s servers, and to administer the site. We may also use IP addresses to communicate with or to block access by users who fail to comply with our Terms and Conditions. Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the internet and is carried out automatically by many websites.
The site may use so-called “pixel tags”, “web beacons”, “clear GIFs” or similar means (collectively “Pixel Tags”) to compile aggregate statistics about site usage and response rates. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the site, to deliver branded services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional services. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, Pixel Tags can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened.
A user is an individual using this site who, unless otherwise specified, coincides with a data subject.
