Cookie Policy
Last Updated: March 19, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how DublinScope Studio Ltd (“DublinScope”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on DublinScope.cyou (the “Website”). This Cookie Policy supplements our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle personal data more broadly.
Cookies help a website remember information about your visit. Some cookies are necessary for basic functionality (for example, to store your consent choice). Others help us understand how the Website is used or help measure advertising performance. Where required by law (including in Ireland, the EEA, and the UK), we only activate analytics and marketing cookies after you provide explicit consent through our cookie banner or preferences panel.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by other companies whose tools are used on the site). Cookies can also be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (stored for a defined period).
In addition to cookies, similar technologies may be used, such as pixel tags (small code snippets that can record page views or conversions) and server-side event forwarding. When these technologies identify or can be linked to an identifiable person, they are treated as personal data and handled in line with our Privacy Policy.
Cookie categories we use
We group cookies into the following categories. These categories match the options you see in the cookie preferences panel:
1) Essential cookies (always on)
Essential cookies are required for the Website to function and for you to make choices about cookies. These cookies do not require consent because they are necessary for delivering the service you request (for example, storing your cookie preference).
- Session continuity: helps the Website operate smoothly from page to page.
- Consent storage: records whether you accepted, rejected, or customized cookie settings.
- Security: may help protect the site from abuse and ensure stable delivery.
2) Analytics cookies (consent required)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website (for example, which pages are most read, how long pages are viewed, and which links are used). We use these insights to improve clarity, navigation, and educational content. When enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization settings as applicable. Analytics data is typically retained for up to 14 months in our analytics configuration.
If you do not consent to analytics cookies, we do not run analytics tags that set analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time using “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer.
3) Marketing cookies (consent required)
Marketing cookies are used to measure and improve advertising performance. They can help with conversion attribution (understanding whether a visit resulted from an ad), frequency measurement, and audience building for future campaigns. When enabled, we may use tools such as Google Ads conversion linker cookies and Meta Pixel cookies.
If you do not consent to marketing cookies, we do not activate marketing tags that set marketing cookies. If marketing cookies are present from prior consent, you can withdraw consent and they will no longer be used, and certain cookies may be deleted as described in our preferences tooling.

Third-party providers
Depending on your consent settings, cookies may be set by third-party providers that supply analytics and advertising measurement tools. These providers may receive information about your device and your interaction with the Website. When enabled, examples may include:
- Google LLC (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager)
- Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Pixel, conversion measurement and audiences)
- Cloudflare (delivery and security services)
We do not permit these providers to use Website data for their own independent commercial purposes. The exact behaviour of third-party cookies can vary based on the provider’s settings and your browser configuration.
How to manage cookie preferences
You can control cookies in several ways:
- Website preferences panel: use the “Manage cookie preferences” link in the footer to reopen the cookie banner and change your choices.
- Browser controls: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. If you block essential cookies, some parts of the Website may not function correctly.
- Provider controls: you can also use opt-out tools provided by third parties, such as:
If you withdraw consent, it applies going forward. Some cookies may remain on your device until they expire or until you delete them using your browser settings.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or how our Website operates. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last Updated” date above.
