Who we are
This website is run by BizTeach Ltd., based in Donegal, Ireland. We are the data controller for any personal data collected through the site. You can reach us at info@bizteach.ie.
This page explains the cookies and similar technologies on bizteach.ie. It should be read alongside our Privacy notice, which covers how we use personal data more generally.
What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies, such as local storage, keep small pieces of information in your browser in the same way. Together they let a site remember things between pages and visits.
Irish and EU law (Regulation 5 of the ePrivacy Regulations 2011, S.I. No. 336 of 2011, and the GDPR) says we may only store or read information on your device with your consent, unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for.
How we ask for your permission
When you first visit, a banner asks whether we may use optional cookies. Nothing optional is set until you choose. Rejecting everything takes one click, the same as accepting everything, and no option is pre-selected for you.
Scrolling, continuing to browse or closing the banner is not treated as consent. If you make no choice, only strictly necessary storage is used.
We keep your choice for six months, after which we ask again, in line with guidance from the Data Protection Commission. We will also ask again if we change the categories of cookies we use.
Changing or withdrawing your choice
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time. Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page, or the button below, to reopen your choices. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before you withdrew.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary storage may stop parts of the site remembering your settings.
Third parties
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Ltd, to see which pages are visited and how people move through the site. It is managed through Google Tag Manager, which sets no cookies of its own. Google Analytics sets the _ga cookies listed below. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses for visitors in the EU, and we have not switched on advertising features or Google Signals. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
We use Google's Consent Mode. Until you turn analytics on, the Google tag is told that consent is denied: it sets no cookies and does not identify you. It may send a small number of cookieless signals (for example that a page was viewed) which Google uses only for aggregate estimates and cannot link to you. If you would rather it sent nothing at all, you can block scripts from googletagmanager.com in your browser or with a content blocker; the site works normally without them.
Fonts are served from our own domain, so no request is sent to Google or any other font provider when you load a page.
When you submit the early access or feedback form, the details you type are sent to the form service we use to receive them. That is covered by our Privacy notice and does not involve cookies.
We set no marketing cookies. If we introduce any other analytics or marketing cookies in future, we will list them on this page first, update the consent version, and ask for your permission before any of them run.
Your rights and how to complain
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or erase personal data we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, and to data portability. Contact info@bizteach.ie to exercise any of these rights.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission, 21 Fitzwilliam Square South, Dublin 2, D02 RD28, or at www.dataprotection.ie.
What we store on your device
This is the full list. Strictly necessary items work without consent. The analytics cookies are only set after you turn analytics on in the banner. We set no marketing cookies.
