Cookies or tools you may use on SlateArt
Depending on the configuration of the website, SlateArt may use essential cookies, preference tools, analytics tools, embedded services, or payment-related functionality. You should update this section to match the actual tools active on your website.
4. Consent and legal basis
Under Irish ePrivacy rules and the GDPR standard for consent, non-essential cookies generally require prior user consent. Consent must be clear, affirmative, specific, informed and freely given. Pre-ticked boxes or implied consent are not enough. Users should also be able to refuse or withdraw consent as easily as they gave it.
Where cookies are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, consent may not be required.
5. How to manage cookies
You can manage cookies in several ways:
- Use our cookie banner or consent tool, where available, to accept or reject categories of non-essential cookies.
- Change your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
- Clear existing cookies stored on your device.
- Withdraw previously given consent through available website controls.
Please note that disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the website function.
6. Third-party technologies
Some website features may rely on third-party services, such as payment tools, embedded content, chat tools, analytics providers or social media content. These providers may place or access cookies or similar technologies on your device, depending on how their services are used.
Where third-party tools are active, their own privacy and cookie terms may also apply. You should review those providers’ notices where relevant.
7. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, the cookies used, legal requirements or business practices. The latest version will always be published on this page with an updated effective date.
