Cookie Policy

Lucan Orthodontics (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on lucanorthodontics.ie. Cookies help the website work properly, and they help us understand how the site is used so we can keep improving it.

This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, and how you can control them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help a site remember things like your preferences and settings, and they can also help measure how people use a site.

Some cookies are set by us (first party cookies) and some are set by trusted services we use (third party cookies).

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Strictly necessary cookies‍

These are required for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They help with core functions like page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences.

Analytics cookies

These help us understand how visitors use our website so we can improve content, navigation, and performance. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this.

Marketing cookies

We do not use advertising or remarketing cookies at the moment. If this changes, we will update this policy and your Cookiebot settings.

Embedded content cookies

Some pages include embedded content such as YouTube videos. These providers may set their own cookies when you play or interact with embedded content.

3. Cookies we use on this website

The exact cookies on your device can vary depending on your choices and which pages you visit. Cookiebot keeps an up to date list of cookies used on our website.

You can view the full cookie list at any time in our cookie banner by selecting “Details” or “Cookie Declaration”.

4. Google Analytics (GA4)

If you accept analytics cookies, GA4 collects information about how people use the site, such as:

- pages visited and time spent on pages
- device and browser information
- approximate location (based on IP address)

We use this information to improve the website. It does not tell us who you are by name.

Google may process data outside Ireland or the EEA. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards are used under GDPR.

5. YouTube embeds

Some pages on our site include embedded YouTube videos. When you interact with a video, YouTube may set cookies to:

- enable video playback
- remember preferences
- measure performance and usage

Where possible, we aim to load embedded videos in a privacy friendly way, but cookies may still be set by YouTube depending on your settings and interaction.

6. Your cookie choices

You are in control of non essential cookies.

Cookiebot consent tool

When you first visit our website, Cookiebot lets you choose which cookie categories you accept. You can change your choices at any time by reopening the cookie settings on our site.

Browser settings

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the website works.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, services, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised date at the top.
