What are cookies?

Also known as browser cookies or tracking cookies, cookies are small, often encrypted text files, located in browser directories. They are used by web developers to help users navigate their websites efficiently and perform certain functions.

Due to their core role of enhancing/enabling usability or site processes, disabling cookies may prevent users from using certain websites.

​

Cookies are created when a user's browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server.

Computer Cookies are created not just by the website the user is browsing but also by other websites that run ads, widgets, or other elements on the page being loaded.

These cookies regulate how the ads appear or how the widgets and other elements function on the page.

​

• Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable us to match you with your GAA club. 

• Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our Site. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences such as favorite locations & sellers.

• Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Site when they are using it. These cookies help us to improve the way our Site works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

• Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Sites, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Site and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests.
