Understand website traffic and performance
Measure interactions with pages, forms and marketing campaigns
Support advertising or remarketing, where enabled

Strictly necessary cookies may operate without consent. Non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking cookies should only be activated after the visitor has provided appropriate consent.

Visitors can manage their cookie choices through the website’s cookie banner or their browser settings.

A separate Cookie Policy may be provided where appropriate.

We may share personal data with trusted service providers that help us operate our business, such as:

Analytics providers
Customer relationship management systems
Cloud-storage and document-management providers
Payment, accounting and professional advisers
Contractors supporting the delivery of client work

These providers may only process personal data in accordance with our instructions or their own lawful responsibilities.

We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order or a competent authority.

We do not sell personal data.

9. International transfers

Some technology providers may process or store personal data outside the European Economic Area.

Where this occurs, we will seek to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

An adequacy decision
Standard Contractual Clauses
Other legally recognised transfer safeguards

Information about transfers outside the EEA should be included where relevant.

10. How long we keep personal data

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention periods may depend on:

The nature of the enquiry or client relationship

The need to resolve disputes or enforce agreements
Whether you have opted out of marketing

For example:

General enquiries may be retained for up to 24 months
Client and financial records may be retained for the period required by Irish law
Marketing suppression records may be retained so that we can respect opt-out requests

11. Data security

Unauthorised access
Loss or destruction
Misuse
