First Party Cookies

These are cookies that are set by this website directly. We use ‘Google Analytics’ to collect information about visitor behaviour on our website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here (for example from a link on another website) and what you click on. This analytics data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. This information is used by us to deliver a better product and service to you, our customer, at Ballmagarvey. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.
