1. Legal Classification of Cookies

Cookies are small digital data files placed on your device. They are technical tools that allow our platform to recognize your browser, maintain security sessions, and remember choices you have made from previous visits.

2. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)

These identifiers are mandatory for the platform to function. They allow for secure navigation and core site features. In accordance with Irish and EU law, these do not require prior consent as the site cannot operate safely without them.

  • Preference Retention: Remembering your choice to "Hide Ads" or display settings across the Network.

3. Analytics & Network Improvement

To better serve our communities, we utilize anonymous analytics identifiers. These help us understand traffic volume, which business listings are most popular, and how users move through the Network. No sensitive personal info is captured during this process.

4. Third-Party Advertising & AdSense

iHelp.ie utilizes third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense, to help maintain the Network. These partners may utilize cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this or other websites. iHelp.ie does not govern or hold liability for the technical structure or privacy practices of these third-party identifiers.
