This Cookie Policy explains how Donegal Bay Conservation Trust ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data more generally.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve how they perform, and to provide information to the site owners. Some cookies are essential, while others are optional and only used with your consent.

The cookies we use

Our website uses the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies. Our website is built and hosted on Squarespace, which sets cookies that are necessary for the site to work properly, such as keeping the site secure and remembering your preferences. These cookies cannot be switched off without affecting how the site functions.
• Analytics cookies. We use Squarespace's built-in analytics and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site, such as which pages are visited and how people find us. This helps us improve our content. These cookies are only used with your consent.
• Embedded content cookies. Some of our pages include videos from services such as YouTube or Vimeo. When you view this content, these services may set their own cookies and collect information about your interaction with it. We do not control these cookies.

Managing your cookies

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and turn on a notification when a cookie is being set. Please note that if you block essential cookies, some parts of our website may not work as expected.

To manage cookies set by embedded content or analytics providers, you can also review the cookie and privacy settings offered by Squarespace, Google, YouTube, and Vimeo directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
