Cookies & Analytics Notice

Last updated: 3 October 2026

We use analytics to understand how the site is used. Google Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them. Personal information is only collected where you choose to provide it, for example through email sign-up, contact forms or submissions such as price reports and kill-sheet uploads. We do not sell personal data. We do not use advertising cookies.

Analytics we use

Netlify Web Analytics — counts page views and visitors from our hosting provider's server logs. It does not set cookies on your device.
Google Analytics 4 — measures how pages are used. Its analytics cookies stay switched off until you tap Accept on the cookie choice bar. If you decline, or have not chosen yet, Google Analytics runs in its cookieless consent mode.

Analytics is used only to measure and improve the website — not for advertising or profiling.

Things saved on your own device

To make the site work, a few small items are kept in your browser's storage on your own phone or computer: your cookie choice, whether you dismissed a card such as the email sign-up, a copy of a price report until it has reached us (so a report is not lost on a weak signal), and the campaign tag of the link you arrived from (for example a mart poster QR code). These are not sent to advertisers.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They can be used to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, count visits or track how pages are used. Not all cookies are the same — some are essential, some are used for analytics, and some are used for advertising.

How to control cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

See which cookies are stored
Delete some or all cookies
Block cookies from specific sites or all sites
Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed

Note that blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.

⚠️ Future changes: If advertising or any further tracking is ever added to IrelandCattlePrice.com, this notice will be updated first and you will be asked to accept or decline.

Third-party tools currently in use

Google Analytics 4 and Netlify Web Analytics, as above. Each operates in line with its own privacy and cookie policies. We do not use Meta Pixel, Google Ads or advertising tracking on this site.
