Cookie Policy

Last Updated

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how [FULL REGISTERED COMPANY NAME] ("Pinta", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on pinta.ie (the "Site"), and how you can control them.

It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.

This policy is provided in accordance with the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. 336/2011) and the GDPR.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to site owners about how their site is being used.

We also use the term "cookies" in this policy to cover similar technologies such as local storage, pixels and software development kits, which perform comparable functions.

Cookies may be:

  • First-party — set by the website you are visiting (pinta.ie).

  • Third-party — set by another organisation, such as an analytics provider.

  • Session — deleted when you close your browser.

  • Persistent — remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

3. How we use cookies

We use a small number of cookies. We group them into two categories.

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the Site to function and to be kept secure. They cannot be switched off in our systems, and under Irish and EU law they do not require your consent. They do not store any information that directly identifies you.

Note for review: confirm the exact cookie names and durations by inspecting the Site in your browser's developer tools (Application → Cookies) before publishing. Framer's own cookie documentation should be checked at the time of publication, as platform behaviour can change.

3.2 Analytics cookies

[Keep this section only if you enable Google Analytics. If you do not use analytics, delete section 3.2 and simplify sections 4 and 5 accordingly.]

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are viewed, how people arrive, and where they leave — so we can improve it. They are only set if you accept them via our cookie banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are placed and no analytics data is sent.

The information generated is processed by Google Ireland Limited on our behalf. IP addresses are truncated before storage, and we have not enabled Google Signals, advertising features or data sharing for advertising purposes. Google may transfer this information to servers in the United States; where that happens, transfers are covered by the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy.

You can find more information in Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy, and you can install Google's opt-out browser add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

3.3 Cookies we do not use

We do not use advertising, retargeting or social media tracking cookies. We do not sell data collected through cookies, and we do not use cookies to build advertising profiles.

4. Your choices

When you first visit the Site, a banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Nothing beyond strictly necessary cookies is set until you make a choice.

You can change your mind at any time by [clicking "Cookie settings" in the footer of any page / clearing your cookies for pinta.ie and reloading, which will bring the banner back]. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect the lawfulness of anything processed before you withdrew.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Site working properly. Guidance for common browsers:

  • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies

  • Safari: Settings → Privacy

  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security

  • Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to the cookies we use or to legal requirements. The current version is always published on this page with the date it was last updated.
