Privacy & cookies
The short version: you can use this guide without telling us anything. We only count visits if you say that’s fine, we don’t show ads, and we never sell information about you.
Counting visits (Google Analytics)
If you tap “That’s fine” on the cookie message, we use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful and how they found us. It sets cookies on your device and Google processes the data for us. If you tap “No thanks”, Google Analytics isn’t loaded at all.
You can change your mind any time: .
Things kept on your own device
The places you save to “My day”, and your cookie choice, are stored in your browser only. They never reach us, and clearing your browser data removes them.
Other services the pages use
Maps load from OpenStreetMap, the weather on the home page comes from Open-Meteo (for Warrenpoint, not for where you are), and photos and articles load from our own server. Like any website, these services see your device’s internet address when your browser asks them for something.
Some articles include videos from YouTube or Vimeo, and a few include Google maps. They don’t load until you press “Play video” or “Show the map”; after that, YouTube, Vimeo or Google may set their own cookies. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode and ask Vimeo not to track you.
If you send us something
If you send us an event or get in touch, we use your details only to deal with it. Email addresses sent with events are never published.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Email adrian@apcsocialmedia.com. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).
