1W Cookie Policy in Ireland
When you visit the 1W platform, cookies are placed on your device to keep the website running properly and your experience consistent. Some cookies are essential and cannot be switched off, as they handle core functions like security and navigation. Others help us understand how the site is used and allow us to adapt content to suit your preferences. We collect only what is necessary and handle all personal data in line with applicable privacy regulations in Ireland. You can review and manage your cookie settings at any time.
1W Cookie Usage
When you browse the 1W website, cookies are saved to your device automatically. These small files help the platform remember your preferences and keep track of your activity across pages.
Cookies are used for the following purposes:
- Understanding how users interact with the platform
- Monitoring website traffic and overall performance
- Keeping your session active between pages
- Storing settings such as language and region
Importantly, cookies do not access other data stored on your device. They do not read personal files or interact with any software outside the browser. Your privacy is not compromised by their use.
Types of Cookies Used on the Website
The website uses three main types of cookies, each serving a specific purpose.
Session Cookies
These are temporary cookies that are deleted as soon as you close your browser. They allow the site to recognise you as you move between pages during a single visit.
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period after your session ends. They help the website remember your preferences the next time you visit, so you do not need to re-enter settings each time.
Analytical Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited most often and how users navigate the platform. The data gathered is used to improve performance and the overall browsing experience.
All three cookie types are used to make the website more convenient and to personalise your experience based on how you interact with the platform.
Your Cookie Choices
You have control over how cookies are used on your device. Most browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences directly through their settings menu.
Here is what you can do:
- Delete existing cookies stored on your device at any time
- Block all cookies from being saved in future browsing sessions
- Block third-party cookies only, while allowing essential site cookies
- Set alerts to be notified before a cookie is placed on your device
- Review and remove specific cookies already stored in your browser
- Manage Flash cookies separately using the Flash Player settings manager
Please be aware that blocking all cookies may limit certain website functions. Features such as saved preferences, auto-login, and personalised content may not work as expected if cookies are fully disabled.
Flash Cookie Settings
Flash cookies, also known as Local Shared Objects, are managed separately from standard browser cookies. They are controlled through the Adobe Flash Player settings manager rather than your browser settings.
Using the Flash Player manager, you can:
- Set permissions for which websites can store Flash data on your device
- Restrict the amount of storage Flash content is allowed to use
- Adjust security parameters for Flash-based technologies
If you choose to block all cookies, including Flash cookies, some website features may stop working correctly. This includes functions such as saved language preferences and automatic login. We recommend reviewing your settings carefully before applying any broad restrictions.
