We are 365 Communications Limited (trading as Core Communications), a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland with company registration number 435655, whose registered office is at Unit J2, Maynooth Business Campus, Maynooth, Co. Kildare, Ireland. (“We”, “us” and “our”).
Our privacy policy describes how we collect and use information, and what choices you have. One way we collect information is through the use of a technology called “cookies”, as well as other related technologies, such as pixels, tags, beacons and local storage. We use these technologies for many things on Core Communications website and services.
What’s a cookie?
When you go online, you use a computer program called a “browser” (like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome). Most websites store a small amount of text in the browser—and that text is called a “cookie.” Similarly, pixels, tags, beacons and local storage are small pieces of code which, like cookies, allow a website or app to read or place information on a device or computer.
We use two different types of cookie – session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is stored temporarily; it only lasts until you close your browser. A persistent cookie is stored on your device and lasts until you or your browser deletes them. For example, we may use cookies retarget our services to you on another website that allows banner ads.
We only use first party and third-party cookies.
First party cookies are those which we, Core Communications, use.
Third party cookies are those which are used on the Core Communications website, but which originate from one of our service providers. Cookies are used by Core Communications service providers. These technologies are used in analysing trends, tracking users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our your experience as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
How Core Communications uses cookies
We use cookies and equivalent technologies for lots of essential things on Core Communications website. We use cookies for analytics to help to make Core Communications better. For example, these cookies tell us how many website visitors click on a particular page on the site and how popular it is, or whether people open an email we send.
Sometimes we hire security vendors or use third-party analytics providers such as Google Analytics and YouTube to help us understand how people are using Core Communications website and services. Just like we do, these providers may use cookies.
Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on user interactions on Core Communications website and services. Browsers do not share first-party cookies across domains.
Google advertising cookies are used to remember which websites you’ve interacted with so that advertisers can show you related content you might like. For more information about how Google uses advertising cookies, visit the Google Advertising Privacy FAQ. To manage settings for these cookies and opt-out of these features, visit the Ads Settings.
