How to Control and Delete Cookies

  1. Consent Tool
    TheKerry Convention BureauCookie Consent Tool can be utilised to customise your cookie preferences. The tool will record when you have consented to our cookie policy and will ask for consent again every 90 days to ensure users stay up-to-date with changes to our cookie and privacy policies. The consent tool specifically controls the marketing cookies and analytical cookies set by using our primary public website https://www.kerryconventionbureau.com. Essential cookies cannot be disabled, nor can the tool be used to block cookies on third-party websites linked from our website.
  2. Using Your Browser
    Many of the cookies used on our website and through emails can be enabled or disabled through our consent tool or by disabling the cookies through your browser. To disable cookies through your browser, follow the instructions usually located within the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menus in your browser. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser unless manually completed through your browser function.

You can also use a browser plug-in such as Ghostery* from Cliqz International GmbH or the Tracking Protection List* from TRUSTe. (A browser plug-in is a piece of software which adds extra capabilities to your browser—for example, to play video or scan for viruses.).

Cookies that Have Been Set in the Past

Collection of your data from our analytics cookies can be deleted. If cookies are deleted, the information collected prior to the preference change may still be used, however, we will stop using the disabled cookie to collect any further information from your user experience. For our marketing cookie, when a user opts out of tracking, a new cookie is placed to prevent users from being tracked.

What about other tracking technologies?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website.Kerry Convention Bureaumay use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognise when someone has visited our web sites or opened an e-mail containing a Newsletter and/or eZine that we have sent them. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.Your engagement with the content of the communication (such as which links you click on) will also be recorded.

We use this information in aggregated form to give us an indication of the popularity of content and to help us make decisions about future content and formatting. We may also use the information to publish more content relevant to certain categories of subscribers in future issues and to unsubscribe recipients who haven’t opened our emails for a while.
