Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 November 2026
GrowthPoint uses cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember applicable privacy preferences and support optional website features where these are enabled.
This Cookie Policy explains the technologies used, their purposes, how long they remain active and how visitors can manage their choices. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
GrowthPoint is operated by Conor Rea, a sole trader trading as GrowthPoint, based in Waterford, Ireland. You can contact us at conor@growthpoint.ie.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. Similar technologies include browser storage (such as local storage and session storage) and tracking pixels, which work in comparable ways. Under Irish ePrivacy regulations, storing and accessing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device generally requires your consent.
2. How GrowthPoint uses them
- Strictly necessary — to run the website and remember your cookie choice.
- Analytics — to understand, in aggregate and anonymously, how the site is used. Off until you allow it.
We do not currently use advertising or marketing cookies, heatmaps, session recording or cross-site tracking. We do not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta/Facebook Pixel or any advertising conversion tracking. If we introduce any non-essential tracking in future, we will update this policy and ask for your consent before enabling it.
3. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These are required for the website to work and to remember your cookie preferences. They are not optional — the website cannot function correctly without them — and you cannot switch them off in our controls.
Analytics
A single first-party analytics cookie set by the hosting platform helps us measure aggregate, anonymous visits so we can improve the site. Because it is not strictly necessary, we only set or read it after you have allowed it. You can accept or reject it at any time using the banner or the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
4. Cookies and technologies we use
This inventory reflects the technologies present on the website at the date above, verified by inspecting the website’s source and scripts. No Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta/Facebook Pixel, advertising conversion tracking, heatmap or session recording technologies are installed on the website.
| Technology name | Provider | Purpose | Type / category | Storage duration | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| gp_consent_v1 | GrowthPoint (first-party) | Remembers your cookie preference (accepted/rejected) in local storage so we do not show the banner again. | Local storage — Strictly necessary | Persistent until you clear browser storage | Not required |
| __vibe_sid | Hosting platform (first-party) | Aggregate analytics session identifier set by the website hosting platform. | Cookie — Analytics | Session (cleared when the browser is closed) | Required — off until you allow it |
| __vibe_sid | Hosting platform (first-party) | Same analytics session identifier, mirrored in session storage by the platform analytics script. | Session storage — Analytics | Session (cleared when the tab is closed) | Required — off until you allow it |
5. Managing your consent
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by selecting “Cookie Settings” in the website footer.
When you first visit the website, you see a banner that lets you:
- Accept all — to allow the optional analytics cookie;
- Reject optional — to keep analytics off; or
- Manage preferences — to make a granular choice for each category.
Rejecting optional technologies will not prevent you from accessing our website or contacting GrowthPoint. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, although browser controls do not replace the consent choices provided by this website.
When you withdraw consent, we stop any future analytics processing and remove the accessible analytics cookie and related session storage where we can. Some platform-level storage may need to be cleared through your browser settings.
We do not use pre-ticked consent, and we do not treat continued browsing, scrolling, inactivity or closing the banner as consent.
6. Third-party technologies
The only third-party technology involved in cookies or similar storage on this website is the analytics cookie set by the website hosting platform. The WhatsApp contact option is shown as pending and is not a live integration; it does not load WhatsApp scripts or set WhatsApp cookies on our pages. When a verified WhatsApp number is supplied, we will update this policy if any additional technology is introduced.
Our enquiry form forwards submissions to our connected CRM platform; that is described in the Privacy Policy and is not a cookie or browser-storage technology on this website.
7. Updates and contact
We may update this policy if the technologies we use change. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised. If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us or email conor@growthpoint.ie.
