Cookies Policy

 Industrial Packaging Ltd uses a small number of cookies on our website www.industrialpackaging.ie. These do not include “marketing” cookies, or any other cookies that collect personal data. This page will inform you further about the types of cookies we do use. By using our website, you consent to the use of these cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser, either temporarily or longer term. They enable certain website functionalities, facilitate reporting on the website’s performance, and some of them allow websites to recognise you and make your next visit easier and /or tailored to your preferences.

How we and third parties use cookies

On the Industrial Packaging website, we use “necessary” and “performance” cookies, but not “marketing”/“advertising” cookies. We do not use cookies which collect personal data.

First party cookies are set by the website that you are visiting. In the case of our website, the only first party cookies are in relation to:

  • Drupal, the website management system, which uses cookies to remember what sort of tools to show on your screen to improve your user experience, for example drag handles.
  • Google, which uses cookies to provide us with anonymous reporting through services such as Google Analytics. In particular, these cookies are used to tell us the number of visitors to the website, what pages they visited and where they have come to the website from. They also recognise repeat visitors to our website. We use the information to take decisions to make our website better.

Third party cookies are not set by us, but by other organisations. We do not control the use of these cookies and cannot access them. They can only be accessed by the party who set them. There are cookies on our website from the following third parties:

  • YouTube, to allow us to host videos embedded in our website on their service and know the numbers of visits to our website from YouTube.
  • LinkedIn, to allow us to know the numbers of visits to our website from LinkedIn.
  • AddtoAny, which allows users to share content from our website by e-mail, messaging services or social media channels by just clicking on a button on the page.

Some of the cookies are session-based, which means they are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. Others are persistent, which means they will stay on your hard drive until you erase them, or for an amount of time set by the third party (for example a year). This type of cookie allows the service to recognise you for the purposes, for example, of keeping you logged in (if you have requested this), or of distinguishing between total number of visits and unique visitors in a given time period when reporting on website performance.
