This Cookie Policy explains how Charisma Design (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on charismadesign.ie. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language or display settings) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you visit a different page.
Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Others help us understand how visitors use the site, or measure the performance of our advertising. You can choose which non-essential cookies to allow.
How we use cookies
We use cookies for three purposes:
1. To make the website work — these are required for basic functionality, security, and remembering your cookie preferences.
2. To understand how visitors use the site — analytics cookies help us see which pages get the most interest, where visitors come from, and how they navigate, so we can improve the site.
3. To measure our advertising — when we run Google Ads campaigns, marketing cookies help us see which ads lead to quote requests, and show our ads to people who’ve already visited.
We do not use cookies for any other purpose. We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for unrelated marketing.
