Cookie Policy
Last updated: 17 September 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how JZ Web Design (a trading name of Comp Service) uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. For information about how we process personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, improve performance, and provide anonymous usage statistics. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others are optional and require your consent under GDPR.
2) How we obtain your consent
We use a cookie banner and consent tool provided by Complianz. Non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics) are only set after you give consent. You can adjust or withdraw consent at any time: Manage cookie settings.
3) Types of cookies we use
- Essential (Strictly Necessary) – required for core site functionality and consent management. These do not require consent.
- Analytics (Statistics) – help us measure and improve website performance. Set only with your consent.
- Marketing – not in use on this site at present.
4) Cookies on this website
The list below reflects our current setup (WordPress, Complianz, Google Analytics 4). It may change as we improve the site.
Essential cookies
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cmplz_banner-status | Remembers whether the cookie banner has been dismissed or a choice was made. | Complianz | 365 days | HTTP Cookie |
| cmplz_consented_services, cmplz_preferences, cmplz_statistics, cmplz_marketing, cmplz_policy_id | Stores your granular consent choices per category and the active policy version. | Complianz | 365 days | HTTP Cookie |
| wp-settings-*, wp-settings-time-* | Used for WordPress admin users to maintain interface preferences (not set for regular visitors). | WordPress | 1 year | HTTP Cookie |
Analytics cookies (set only with consent)
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Expiry | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Generates anonymous statistics about how visitors use the site. | Google Analytics 4 | 2 years | HTTP Cookie |

Note: GA4 masks IP addresses by default. We do not use marketing/advertising cookies unless stated otherwise. If you later add marketing tools (e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads), this policy should be updated.
5) Third-party services and data transfers
Our site is hosted in the United Kingdom. We also use services that may process data in the EEA and/or other countries, including Google (for Analytics). Where data is transferred outside the EEA, appropriate safeguards are used (e.g., UK adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses).
6) Managing cookies
You can change your consent at any time via the banner link above (Manage cookie settings). You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, blocking essential cookies may impact site functionality.
7) Your rights
For details of your rights under GDPR (access, correction, deletion, objection, etc.), please see our Privacy Policy. To exercise your rights, email info@jzwebdesign.ie.
