Privacy Policy

We at eyesurgeon.ie take privacy very seriously. We would never disclose your personal information to third parties or use it for bulk mail lists or newsletters.

Submission of personal information is not required in order to browse our website and we strongly urge you NOT to disclose any of your personal addresses, emails or phone numbers when interacting in the comments sections.

You should, however, be aware that we record data about your visit to our website for statistical purposes. We only collect that to analyse our audience.

The data we collect is not personally identifiable regardless of whether you are a registered user or not. Every computer and device connected to the Internet is assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address. IP address can often be used to identify your country, state, and city and we may process that information for statistical purposes with the goal of understanding from where in the world you are coming from (also known as “IP geolocation”).

Our Cookies Policy

In compliance with the European Union legislation, we inform you that our website eyesurgeon.ie will store some information about your preferences how the website looks and operates on your own computer inside a tiny file called a ‘cookie’.

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. The cookie allows the website to ‘remember’ your actions or preferences over time.

You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

Most browsers support cookies, but users can set their browsers to decline them and can delete them whenever they like. A third-party website called aboutcookies.org has been set up to help you with instructions on how you can do that on various browsers.

We use cookies to:

  • identify you as a returning user and to count your visits in our traffic statistics analysis;
  • remember your custom display preferences;
  • other usability features including tracking whether you’ve already given your consent to cookies.

Enabling cookies from eyesurgeon.ie is not strictly necessary for the website to work but it will provide you with a better browsing experience.

The cookie-related information is not used to identify you personally and the pattern data is fully under our control. These cookies are not used for any purpose other than those described here.

There may also be other types of cookies created after you’ve visited our website.

We use Google Analytics, a popular web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us to analyse how users use the site. It counts the number of visitors and tells us things about their behaviour overall – such as the typical length of stay on the site or the average number of pages a user views.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google undertakes not to associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
