Legal Notice and Privacy Policy

Disclaimer

El Velo de Irlanda is an informational guide to Irish mythology, history and places of interest, and does not constitute an invitation to access any of the properties or locations mentioned. Opening hours, access and visiting conditions may change without notice; we always recommend checking each site's official managing body before planning a visit.

We are not responsible for any loss, injury or inconvenience arising from the use of this information or from visiting the places described on this site.

Privacy Policy

What data do we collect?

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to anonymously understand how visitors use the site (most-visited pages, time on site, approximate location). We also use Microsoft Clarity, a tool that anonymously records how visitors interact with pages (mouse movement, clicks, scrolling) to help us improve the site's design — this tool only activates if you accept analytics cookies in the notice shown on your first visit (see below). We do not collect names, email addresses or any personally identifiable information through either of these systems, unless you contact us voluntarily.

Cookies

On your first visit, you'll see a notice at the bottom of the screen where you can accept or decline analytics cookies (Microsoft Clarity). If you accept, the anonymous recording tool described above is activated; if you decline, it is not. Your choice is stored in our own cookie (evi_cookie_consent) for 12 months, so we don't ask again on every visit.

You can change your decision at any time by clicking here to reset your preference, or by clearing this site's cookies in your browser settings.

Google Analytics 4 loads independently of this choice, as it is considered basic statistical analytics; we are reviewing whether the same accept/decline notice should be extended to Google Analytics in a future update to this page.

There is currently no single industry standard for how to respond to browsers' "Do Not Track" signals, so our site does not change its behaviour based on this signal.

Minors

This site is not directed at anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us to request its removal.

Your rights

If you have questions about how we use your data, or wish to exercise your rights of access, rectification or erasure, you can contact us through our social media channels.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. For Ireland, this is the Data Protection Commission (DPC) ↗.
