Types of Cookies:

A visit to Beaut.ie may generate some or all the following cookie types.

Performance cookies

These are set by the website you are visiting. They can only be read by the website you visit. These cookies can remember user preferences, so you do not need to set any preferences each time you visit.

Anonymous analytics cookies

These types of cookies include, but not limited to, Google Analytics, Permutive and Hotjar and are anonymous. This allows Beaut.ie  to measure the number of visits to the website and view how articles are performing. These cookies also allow Beaut.ie to see if you have visited the website before, and whether to generate a new cookie if you are a first-time visitor.

Advertising cookies

Some advertisers, including Google, display advertising on our website that use advertising cookies. Some of the ads you may see are targeted based on your interests or other content you have viewed online, ultimately leading to a more relevant advertising experience.
This type of behavioral advertising is generally targeted towards groups of users with similar interests.
Such online advertising helps support the free content, products and services we provide to readers.

A lot of the advertisements you see on our site are provided by other organisations. Some of these organisations use their own cookies to track how many people have seen a particular ad, or to track how many people have seen it more than once.

Facebook

Facebook both acts as a data controller and a data processor for Beaut.ie. We use Facebook Custom Audiences to group users of Beaut.ie into interest audiences if they are logged into Facebook and engage either with any of Beaut.ie’s Facebook posts, or engage with content on the Beaut.ie website, by use of a tracking pixel. We do this to better present audiences with more relevant content, be it editorial or advertising content. Any information collected is either of a non personal nature, or if personalised then the information is anonymised by Facebook, as per their terms of use. You can opt in or out of such functionality when registering an account with Facebook or opt in to any such services Facebook offers. Furthermore, you can view and manage any websites that have access to your information by using the “Off Facebook Activity” tool.
