Cookie policy

What cookies do

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser. They can support a website’s operation or, on other sites, be used for advertising and analytics.

Essential application cookies

This website uses Laravel’s session and request-security features. These can set an application session cookie and an XSRF-TOKEN cookie. They support session handling and protection against forged requests. They are not advertising cookies. The configured session lifetime is 120 minutes; your browser settings and activity may affect when cookies are removed.

Optional website analytics

If you select “Accept analytics”, this website loads Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity. They help us understand traffic sources, page visits, interactions, scrolling and usability problems. Analytics remains off if you reject it or have not made a choice. We do not use these tools for advertising.

Your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage under sofa-clean-analytics-consent. Select “Cookie settings” in the footer at any time to review or change your choice. Removing site data in your browser also removes the saved choice.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics may set analytics cookies after consent and processes information about visits, pages, approximate location, device and interactions. We use it to measure traffic sources and important actions such as clicks to WhatsApp, telephone links and external profiles. We do not intentionally send names, telephone numbers, Eircodes, message contents or photographs to Google Analytics. See the Google Privacy Policy.

Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity may set analytics cookies after consent and provides heatmaps and reconstructed session recordings. These help us identify navigation and usability problems. Form and sensitive content masking is applied by the provider, but you should still avoid entering private information anywhere it is not requested. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Links to other services

WhatsApp, Google and Facebook buttons are links. When you follow a link, the destination may use its own cookies under its own policy. The Google reviews section reads the local server cache and does not load an external review widget.

Google reviews cache

The reviews section reads review data saved by the server’s scheduled Google Places sync. It does not load Google or Elfsight scripts in a visitor’s browser and does not use browser cookies or local storage for the review carousel.

TikTok links

The video strip uses locally served thumbnails and links to videos on TikTok. It does not load a TikTok player or scripts. Following a video link opens TikTok, which may use its own cookies under its own policy. The moving strip does not store preferences in cookies or local storage.

Your choices and browser controls

You can reject optional analytics without losing access to the website. Use “Cookie settings” in the footer to make a new choice. You can also view, block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect features that rely on them.
