Cookie Policy

Effective date: April 7, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Anam Kara Wellness uses cookies and similar technologies on this website.

It should be read together with the Anam Kara Wellness Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, SDKs, scripts, local storage objects and other technologies that collect or store information on your device or browser.

Cookies can help a website function properly, remember preferences, measure performance and, where permitted, support analytics, personalisation and marketing activity.

2. Why Anam Kara Wellness Uses Cookies

Anam Kara Wellness may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • ensure that the website functions properly;

  • maintain security and prevent abuse;

  • remember choices or preferences that you make;

  • analyse how the website is used;

  • improve website performance, usability and content;

  • support booking, payment or embedded third-party functionality;

  • measure the effectiveness of communications or campaigns, where applicable.

3. Categories of Cookies that We May Use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of the website or to provide a service that you have specifically requested. They may include cookies used for:

  • page navigation;

  • security and fraud prevention;

  • load balancing;

  • form submission;

  • booking-session continuity;

  • payment-session integrity;

  • cookie preference storage.

Under Irish and EU rules, strictly necessary cookies do not generally require consent where they are genuinely necessary for the requested service.  

Analytics or Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how users move through the site, and whether errors occur.

We will use these cookies only where required consent has been obtained.

Functional Cookies

These cookies support enhanced functionality, such as remembering user preferences, media settings or optional site features.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, Anam Kara Wellness will use them only with your consent. The Irish Data Protection Commission states that cookies normally require consent unless they fall within the narrow strictly-necessary exemption.  

Marketing or Targeting Cookies

These cookies may be used by Anam Kara Wellness or by third-party providers to track browsing behaviour, measure campaign performance, personalise advertising or support social media and embedded content features.

These cookies are not treated as strictly necessary and should be used only with your consent. The DPC has specifically criticised the deployment of third-party cookies, including advertising and social media cookies, before any user engagement with a consent banner or platform.  

4. Consent

When you first visit the Anam Kara Wellness website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or consent tool that allows you to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.

Anam Kara Wellness does not rely on silence, continued browsing or pre-ticked boxes as valid consent for non-essential cookies. Under the DPC’s guidance, consent under the GDPR must be freely given, specific, informed, unambiguous and given through a clear affirmative act.  

You can change your cookie preferences at any time through [insert cookie settings link/button].

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some features on the Anam Kara Wellness website may rely on third-party services such as:

  • booking tools;

  • payment providers;

  • video players;

  • maps;

  • social media content;

  • analytics tools;

  • embedded content providers.

Where these services place cookies or similar technologies on your device, those providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie notices. Anam Kara Wellness recommends that you review those third-party policies where relevant.

6. Managing Cookies

You can manage your cookie preferences through the Anam Kara Wellness cookie settings tool where available.

Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies through browser settings. However, disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of this website and may prevent certain services, bookings or forms from working properly.

7. International Transfers

Where cookies or similar technologies involve third-party providers located outside the European Economic Area, personal data may be transferred internationally. Where that occurs, Anam Kara Wellness will seek to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

Anam Kara Wellness may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, website functionality or the cookies we use.

The latest version published on this page will apply from its effective date.
