Cookie Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on return visits and to store certain preferences or information. Similar technologies — such as localStorage (data stored in your browser rather than a text file) — serve the same purpose and are covered by this policy.

This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on flowbridgeconsulting.ie, why we use them, and how you can control or remove them.

2. Our cookie use — summary

We currently use only strictly necessary cookies on this website. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising or tracking cookies, or social media cookies. Our contact form opens your own email client directly — no form data is sent to or stored by a third-party processor. If our cookie use changes in future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.

3. Cookies we use

The table below lists every cookie and browser storage item currently in use on this website.

Name Set by Category Purpose Duration
fc_cookie_consent flowbridgeconsulting.ie Strictly Necessary Records your cookie preference so we do not display the cookie banner on subsequent visits. 12 months (browser localStorage)
fc_cookie_consent_date flowbridgeconsulting.ie Strictly Necessary Records when your cookie preference was set, so we can ask again after 12 months. 12 months (browser localStorage)

4. Strictly necessary cookies — no consent required

The cookies listed above are strictly necessary for this website to function and to provide the service you have requested. Under Regulation 5(5) of the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336/2011), strictly necessary cookies are exempt from the requirement to obtain prior consent.

We do not use these cookies for any purpose other than those described above, and we do not share the data they contain with any third party.

5. No third-party form processors

Our contact form works by opening your own email client (Outlook, Gmail, etc.) with your details pre-filled. You click Send yourself — no form data passes through or is stored by any third-party service. The enquiry arrives in our inbox directly from your email address.

6. Managing and withdrawing consent

Because we only use strictly necessary cookies and browser storage, your cookie preferences on this website do not affect the core functionality of the site. However, you may:

  • Review your preference — click Manage Cookie Preferences at any time to re-open the cookie notice and update your choice.
  • Clear browser storage — delete the fc_cookie_consent and fc_cookie_consent_date entries via your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage) or by clearing all site data in your browser settings. The cookie banner will reappear on your next visit.
  • Block or delete all cookies — you can configure your browser to block or delete cookies at any time. Please note this may affect how some websites function. Instructions for common browsers are listed in Section 7 below.

If we introduce non-essential cookies in future (such as analytics), we will update this policy and ask for your consent before setting them.

7. How to manage cookies in your browser

You can manage, block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. The links below take you to the relevant guidance for the most common browsers:
