Cookies
Every cookie and piece of browser storage this site uses, and why there is no consent banner.

Why there is no banner
Irish law (the ePrivacy Regulations, S.I. No. 336 of 2011) allows a site to store information in your browser without consent when it is strictly necessary to provide something you have asked for. Everything listed above falls under that. If this site ever adds anything that does not, it will ask you first, and this page will list it.
Fonts and images are served from this site itself. The map on Next Spot, which only invited users can see, loads map images from OpenFreeMap, as the privacy policy explains.
Managing them
You can delete cookies and site data at any time in your browser's settings. If you block them, the assistant, the resume download and signing in will stop working, but the rest of the site will not be affected.
