Privacy Statement

This statement relates to Teagasc’s privacy practices in connection with this website. By using this website, you accept the practices described in this statement. Teagasc reserves the right to amend this statement at any future date and will publish any changes here.

This website contains links to other sites. Teagasc is not responsible for the content or privacy standards of other websites. We encourage you to be aware of this when you leave our site and recommend that you review the privacy statement of any website accessed through this site as these websites may be subject to different privacy practices. This privacy statement relates only to the privacy practices in connection with Teagasc’s website.

A cookie is a small data file that is placed on your hard drive by a web server, can only be read by the web server that previously stored it and is used to tell that web server that you have returned to a particular web page. It cannot be executed as code, deliver viruses or look into your computer and find out information about you or read any material kept on your hard drive.

There are two types of cookies: session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are erased when you close your browser. Permanent cookies remain on your hard drive until you erase them or they expire. Without cookies, a web server has no memory of anything about a user's previous visits.

This website uses temporary "session" cookies in order to provide security for those pages which are reserved for registered users. They enable a visitor to login to the site in order to view the reserved pages. This website uses permanent cookies in order to remember your login details for the online discussion forum. Visitors can still use this website if cookies are disabled in their web browser, but there will be a loss of some functionality (e.g. the content which is reserved for registered users will not be accessible).

You can usually refuse cookies or selectively accept cookies by adjusting the preferences in your browser. The location of cookies depends on your browser type. You can find information on how to change your cookie preferences in Internet Explorer at: http://www.microsoft.com/info/cookies.htm

Teagasc will make no attempt to identify individual visitors, or to associate the technical details listed above with any individual. The technical information will be used only by Teagasc, and only for statistical and other administrative purposes.
