Cookie Policy
This site sets nothing on your device unless you choose to allow analytics. Nothing here tracks you across other websites, and nothing here is used for advertising.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device. Under Regulation 5(3) of S.I. 336/2011 — the Irish ePrivacy Regulations — we need your consent before storing anything on your device that is not strictly necessary to deliver the service you asked for.
2. Strictly necessary
None. The site works fully without storing anything, so there is nothing in this category.
3. Your consent choice
If you answer the banner, we remember your answer so we do not ask again on every page. This is the only thing stored on your device regardless of which way you answer.

Local storage, not a cookie | Records whether you accepted or declined analytics | Until you clear your browser storage |
It holds one word — granted or denied. It contains no identifier, and it
is never sent to us or to anyone else; it is read only by your own browser.
4. Analytics — consent required
These are set only if you press Accept analytics. If you decline, or ignore the banner, the Google Analytics script is never loaded at all, so no cookie is written and no data reaches Google.

Our Google Analytics property has IP anonymisation on, Google Signals off, advertising features off, and data retention set to 14 months. Data may be transferred to the United States — see section 5 of our Privacy Notice for the safeguards that apply.
You can change your mind at any time and it takes effect immediately.
Withdrawing consent stops any further data being collected. It does not retroactively erase page views already recorded — to have those removed, contact us at privacy@spatialis.ie.
5. Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and most browsers offer a strict privacy mode. Nothing on this site depends on cookies, so blocking them changes nothing about how it works for you.
6. Changes
If we add or remove anything stored on your device, this page and its version number change with it. We do not add tracking quietly.
