Three Cookie Policy
Three respects the privacy of all visitors to our website. This Cookie Policy outlines our policy concerning the use of cookies on Three.ie.
We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect any changes in technology or legislation which may affect the way in which cookies are used by us and how you as a user, can manage them.
What are “cookies”?
Cookies are small computer files that remember what you enter when you visit a website. Please note that cookies can’t harm your computer and we don’t store personal information such as credit card details in cookies we create. They are stored on your local hard disk, for example, to help us personalise your online experience – called “client-side” cookies.
They can also be stored on our server temporarily, for example, to remember information about your order and help you step through a transaction without having to re-enter information – called “server-side” cookies.
There are 2 distinct types of cookies – session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is only accessible while your browser is open, and is deleted as soon as you navigate away from our site. A persistent cookie can remain on your computer for a pre-defined period of time, or until they are forcibly deleted.
How Three.ie uses cookies?
We use encrypted information gathered from cookies to help improve your experience of Three.ie. For example, they help us to identify and customise the experience for you, or to determine the most relevant related products to show you when you’re browsing.
We also use some cookies to enhance visual experience – for example, to ensure that customers only see certain promotional messaging once, ensuring that users are not overwhelmed with repetitive visual cues.
How do I manage or refuse cookies?
Three takes privacy concerns seriously, so if you do not want any information collected via a site cookie you can use your in-built browser settings to deny or accept individual or all cookies. The procedure varies from browser to browser. For browser specific information please visit www.aboutcookies.org.
