Cookies Policy

The GetSociable Web App and Website (together, GetSociable) are run and managed by GetSociable Limited, River House, 48 – 60 High Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland BT1 2BE (we, us, our). We use cookies to collect information about the use of GetSociable.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you use a website or application. Your web browser (e.g. Edge, Google Chrome or Safari) sends the cookies back to the website or application on each subsequent visit so that the website or application can recognise you and remember personalised details or user preferences.

Cookies are very useful and help us to provide you with a good experience when you use GetSociable. They can also tell us how GetSociable is currently being used which allows us to continuously improve GetSociable.

The following types of cookies we may use:

  • Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are essential for the operation of GetSociable. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to move around GetSociable and log into secure areas. Without these cookies, we would not be able to provide core functions of GetSociable.
  • Analytical/performance cookies. These allow us to recognise and count the number of users and to see how users move around GetSociable when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way GetSociable works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to GetSociable. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember any preferences.

Third party cookies

Where we set our own cookies, these are called “first party” cookies and we set them and control them. We sometimes use “third party” cookies that are set and controlled by third parties. This includes Google Analytics (which allows us to measure user traffic to analyse and improve GetSociable) and YouTube cookies to enable us to embed videos.
