We may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, browser local storage, software development tools and server-side tracking. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where appropriate.
Under Irish ePrivacy law, consent is generally required before information is stored on or accessed from your device.
Consent is not normally required for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by you or to enable the Website to function securely.
Analytics, performance, functionality and advertising cookies are not activated unless you provide the relevant consent through our cookie banner or consent settings.

We do not use cookies to obtain information from files stored on your device.
These cookies are required for the Website to operate securely and correctly. They may support website security, spam prevention, network management, consent management and essential form functionality.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie settings because the Website may not function correctly without them. You can block them through your browser, but some parts of the Website may then become unavailable.
Functional cookies support optional website features, such as displaying videos, remembering preferences or enabling content supplied by another provider.
These cookies are used only with your consent unless they are strictly necessary for a feature that you have expressly requested.
Analytics and performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website.
They may collect information such as:
We use this information to improve the Website, make forestry information easier to find and understand which services or topics are most relevant to visitors.
These cookies are used only with your consent.
Advertising cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising, understand whether a visitor arrived through a campaign and help deliver more relevant advertising on third-party platforms.
These technologies may recognise a browser across different websites or services. They are used only with your consent.
The following table describes the principal cookies and technologies currently associated with the Website. The exact cookies placed may depend on the pages visited, features used and consent choices made.
Cookie names and durations may change when a provider updates its technology or when the Website’s configuration changes. The cookie settings panel displayed on the Website should be treated as the current operational record of the cookies detected and categorised by the consent system.
We use Google Analytics to obtain aggregated information about visits and interactions with the Website. This helps us understand which forestry services, guidance materials and website pages are most useful to visitors.
Google Analytics may process information including:
Google Tag Manager is used to manage approved tags and integrations. The tags managed through Google Tag Manager must follow the consent choice recorded through the Website.
Google Analytics and other non-essential Google tags are activated only after the relevant consent has been provided.
Further information is available in Google’s Privacy Policy and its information about technologies used on websites and applications.
We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with the Website through aggregated analytics, heatmaps and session-related information.
Clarity may record interactions such as page navigation, scrolling, clicks and general use of page elements. It uses pseudonymous identifiers to connect related page views.
Fields intended to collect personal data should be masked or excluded from Clarity recordings. Visitors should not enter confidential, financial, medical or other sensitive information into any website field unless the field expressly requests it for a legitimate purpose.
Microsoft Clarity is activated only after analytics consent has been provided.
The Website uses the Meta Pixel, implemented with PixelYourSite, to measure website visits and the effectiveness of relevant communications or advertising campaigns.
These technologies may record events such as:
The information may be used by Meta to provide measurement, reporting and advertising services in accordance with Meta’s own privacy terms.
Meta advertising and PixelYourSite tracking technologies are activated only after the appropriate consent has been provided.
We use CleanTalk Anti-Spam to protect website forms, email addresses and systems against spam, fraudulent submissions, automated activity and malicious use.
CleanTalk may process technical and security information associated with a form submission or website visit, including IP address, browser information, timestamps, interaction signals and information required to distinguish a genuine visitor from an automated system.
Where these technologies are necessary to secure a form or requested website service, they are treated as strictly necessary. Their use is limited to security, spam prevention and protection of the Website.
Some pages contain videos supplied by YouTube. YouTube may place cookies or collect information about your device and interaction when a video is loaded or played.
YouTube content should remain unavailable until you consent to the relevant functional or advertising cookies. If you consent and play a video, Google and YouTube may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
The Website also contains links to third-party websites and social media services, including Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Google Maps. Following an ordinary external link takes you away from our Website. The third party may then place its own cookies or collect information under its own privacy and cookie policies.
When you first visit the Website, the cookie banner allows you to:
Strictly necessary cookies remain enabled because they are required for security, consent management and essential website functions.
You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the “Manage consent” or “Cookie settings” control displayed on the Website.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out lawfully before consent was withdrawn. Once consent is withdrawn, the relevant optional technologies will no longer be activated during future visits. Cookies already stored on your device may remain until they expire or are deleted through your browser settings.
Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies. Browser controls vary, so consult the help or privacy section of your browser for current instructions.
Blocking every cookie through your browser may prevent parts of the Website from operating correctly. Browser controls also do not replace the Website’s consent settings, because some similar technologies may use local storage, pixels or server-side functions instead of conventional cookies.
Some of our technology providers, including Google, Microsoft and Meta, may process information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, the relevant provider and Forestry Services must use a lawful transfer mechanism where required. This may include an adequacy decision, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and appropriate supplementary safeguards.
Further information about international transfers is available in our Privacy Policy and in the privacy documentation published by the relevant provider.
We may update this Cookie Policy when:
The “Last updated” date at the beginning of this policy identifies the latest revision.
Where a material change affects an existing consent choice, we will request consent again where required.
