You may also provide personally identifiable information about yourself when participating in forums, discussions, or other Interactive Services on the Site.

Please be aware that the information you post may be viewed or captured by anyone who visits the Site; therefore, you should avoid posting sensitive or personal data that you would not want to be available to the public.

Information that is automatically collected when you visit weddingseason.ie

When you access the Site, our third-party partners and we may automatically collect certain information about your visit using tools such as cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies. The information collected automatically when you visit the Site may include your IP address, characteristics of your operating system, information about your browser and system settings, data about the computer or mobile device you use to access the Site, unique device identifiers, clickstream data (which shows the page-by-page path you take as you browse the Site).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files that websites and other online services use to store information about users on the users’ own computers. This Site may use cookies (such as HTTP and HTML5) and other types of local storage. For more information about cookies, you may visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org

See the section below regarding Your choices to learn more about how you may limit or disable cookies on your computer.

If you choose to disable cookies, that could affect certain features of the Site that use cookies to enhance their functionality. To manage our automatic data collection, we may place tags (often referred to as “web beacons”) on site pages or emails we send to you. Web beacons are small files that link web pages to particular web servers and their cookies, and they may be used for a variety of purposes, such as counting the number of visitors to the Site, analyzing how users navigate around the Site, assessing how many emails that we send are opened and which articles or links are viewed by visitors. We also use third-party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to provide us with statistics and other information about visitors to the Site.

“Do Not Track” Signals

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “do not track” signal to websites and online services you visit. There is no consensus among industry participants regarding the meaning of “do not track” in this context. Like many other websites, weddingseason.ie is not configured to respond to “do not track” signals from browsers. Click here to learn more about “do not track” signals.

Finally, companies that provide certain third-party apps, tools, widgets, and plug-ins that may appear on the Sites (for example, Facebook “Like” or “Share” buttons) also may use automated means to collect information regarding your interactions with these features. This information collection is subject to those third parties’ privacy policies or notices.

Information for users outside the United States

Your data may be stored, transferred, and processed in and to the United States and other countries by our affiliates and/or service providers.
