Last updated: 3rd April 2024 

We are Tourism Ireland, the body responsible for marketing the island of Ireland overseas.

Our website uses cookies, pixels, and other identifiers and tracking technologies (collectively, “cookies”). This Cookies Policy relates only to your use of this website and explains what cookies are, the information collected by cookies, how that information is used and how you can manage your cookie settings and preferences.

2. What are cookies and other identifiers?

A cookie is a small piece of data (a text file or small image) that is sent to your computer, mobile phone or tablet device (collectively, a “device”) by the web server so the website can remember some information about your activity on the website (such as your language preference, login information or how you browse the website and interact with its content).

Cookies distinguish you from other users of our website, provide you with features essential to delivering this website, allow us to improve this website, help us to provide you with a better experience when you browse our website or other online websites, and enable us to serve relevant and personalised content and advertising to you.

Cookies on this website are set and used by us (these are first-party cookies) and by other parties such as advertisers, social media platforms and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services (these are third-party cookies).

Please note that when you visit a page with content embedded from service providers such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, X or TikTok, these service providers set their own third-party cookies on your device. Also, if you share a link to a web page from this website, the social media network or platform you share it on (e.g. Facebook) may set a cookie on your device.

We do not control the use of third-party cookies and cannot access them as these cookies can only be accessed by the party who originally set them. We recommend that you check third party websites and platforms for more information about these cookies. You can see a list of the cookies we use, their lifespan, the purposes for which we use them and whether they are first-party cookies and which are third-party cookies in the tables below.
