Cookie Policy

This page explains how hatchandsons.co uses cookies when visitors browse this website. As an independent informational platform reviewing online casinos in Ireland, cookies are used solely to support site functionality and improve the experience for users — not for advertising or commercial data collection.

Introduction

This policy provides transparent information about what cookies are, how they are used on this site, and what rights users have in relation to them. By continuing to use hatchandsons.co, visitors consent to the use of cookies as described in this document. Consent can be withdrawn at any time by adjusting browser settings, as explained below.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on a user's device — such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone — when they visit a website. They are sent by the website's server to the user's browser and may be retrieved on subsequent visits to the same site.

Cookies serve a range of functions. Some are essential to the basic operation of a website, while others collect analytical data or remember user preferences. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other files on a user's device.

There are two main types of cookies based on lifespan: session cookies, which are deleted automatically when a browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on a device for a set period or until manually deleted. Cookies may also be categorised as first-party — set by the website being visited — or third-party, set by external services operating on the site.

How and why we use cookies

hatchandsons.co uses cookies for the following purposes:

Functional cookies support the basic operation of the website. These enable the site to load correctly, remember basic display preferences, and ensure users can navigate between pages without errors. Without these cookies, some parts of the website may not function as intended.

Analytics cookies allow the platform to understand how visitors interact with the website. Information collected includes pages visited, time spent on each page, links clicked, and the general geographic region of the visitor. This data is used in aggregate and is not linked to any identifiable individual. Analytics data informs decisions about content quality and site structure.

Third-party cookies may be set by external tools or platforms integrated into the site, such as analytics services. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which users are encouraged to review independently.

No cookies used on hatchandsons.co are intended to build individual advertising profiles or to track users across other websites for commercial targeting purposes.

Managing your cookie preferences

Users have the right to manage their cookie preferences at any time. The following options are available:

• Browser settings: Most modern web browsers allow users to view, delete, and block cookies. Instructions for managing cookies are typically found in the browser's settings or help documentation. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of hatchandsons.co and other websites.
• Opt-out tools: For analytics cookies provided by third-party services, opt-out options may be available through those providers directly. Google Analytics, for example, offers a browser add-on that prevents data collection.
• Withdrawal of consent: Users who have previously accepted cookies can withdraw consent by clearing cookies stored in their browser and adjusting settings to prevent new cookies from being set. This does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.

Your rights

Under GDPR and applicable Irish data protection legislation, users have the right to be informed about cookies, to consent to non-essential cookies, and to withdraw that consent at any time. Exercising cookie controls is the responsibility of the individual user and must be done through the device and browser being used to access the website.
