Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your visit - for example, your preferred language or whether you have already acknowledged a notice.

This policy also covers similar technologies, such as localStorage and sessionStorage - browser-based storage mechanisms that work like cookies but remain entirely on your device and are never transmitted to our servers automatically.

We use only strictly necessary cookies and local storage. These cannot be switched off, as the site would not function correctly without them. They do not collect any personal data that could be used to identify or track you across websites.

We do not use session cookies beyond what your browser creates automatically as part of normal HTTP operation (e.g. keeping a form submission in memory). These are automatically deleted when you close your browser tab.

We do not use any of the following:

• Analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar)
• Advertising or retargeting cookies
• Behavioural profiling or fingerprinting
• Cross-site tracking of any kind
• Social-media tracking pixels

If we introduce privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics in the future (such as Plausible Analytics), this policy will be updated before any change takes effect and a revised notice will be displayed.

We do not load any third-party scripts, iframes, or widgets that set cookies on our behalf. This includes social-share buttons, embedded maps, and ad networks.

The only external requests this site makes are to load fonts and assets from our own CDN. These requests do not result in any third-party cookies being placed on your device.

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies. Because we use only strictly necessary local storage, we do not require your consent to set these items.

We display a cookie notice when you first visit the site to make you aware of this policy. Clicking Accept on that notice simply records that you have seen it (stored as rait_cookie_consent in your browser). It does not grant us any additional permissions, because we are not seeking any.

You can review and delete cookies and local storage at any time using your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers:

Deleting local storage will cause the cookie notice to reappear on your next visit, and any saved theme preference will be reset. No other functionality will be affected.

You can also use your browser’s built-in developer tools (F12 > Application > Local Storage) to view and delete individual entries at any time.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If we introduce any non-essential cookies in the future, we will update this policy first and display a new consent notice before setting any such cookies.

If you have any questions about how we use cookies or local storage, please contact us:

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission Ireland.
