What are Cookies?

We use cookies to ensure that we give the best experience on our website. Cookies are small text files sent from a website and stored in the user’s web browser while the user is browsing a website. When users visit the same website again, the browser sends cookies back to the website allowing the website to recognise the user and remember things like personalised details or preferences.

Cookies also provide us with information about how often someone visits our website, and what website activity is carried out during those visits.

What Cookies are used on data.TII.ie?

There are two main types of cookies:

• Session cookies – a simple text file that a website installs on its visitor’s device for temporary use. It helps track real-time changes of a user’s activity. Most websites have session cookies enabled by default as it helps the web pages load faster and makes navigation easy for the user. A session cookie is only active during each browsing session and is programmed to be automatically deleted at the end of each browsing session when the user exits the web browser.
• Persistent cookies – cookies stored on a user’s device to hold usage information, settings, personalisations, or sign-on credentials. The primary purpose of persistent cookies is to provide users with an immersive and seamless browsing experience by auto-filling information that the user may have already provided.

All persistent cookies have a specific expiration date assigned by the web server. The expiration date is helpful as it allows users to continue having a smooth browsing experience even after closing the browser window and reopening it. Consent given for non-necessary cookies is only valid for a maximum of six months[AO1.1], after which time re-consent will be requested.

The categories of cookies used on the data.TII.ie website are as follows:

• Necessary cookies – help make the website usable by enabling basic functions. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this website and therefore consent is not required. Consent is required for all other categories of cookies. These cookies are persistent cookies.
• Statistics cookies – help TII to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. These cookies are session cookies.

Learn more about how we process personal data by contacting us – see contact details above. You can also read the TII Privacy Notice here.
