This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use on treestory.ie, and how you can manage them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the site owner.
2. What cookies do we use?
We use only strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the website to function correctly and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information and are set in response to actions you take, such as signing in.

We do not use any of the following types of cookies:
- Analytics or performance cookies (e.g. Google Analytics)
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Social media tracking cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies of any kind
3. Do we need your consent?
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, strictly necessary cookies do not require your prior consent. We are required only to inform you that they exist, which we do via the notice on this site.
If we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future (for example, analytics), we will update this policy and obtain your consent before placing them.
4. How to manage cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of this website from functioning correctly (for example, you will not be able to stay signed in).
