This Cookie Policy explains how golfconnecting.com (operated by Mega Commercial Enterprises Limited — Registered in Ireland · Company Number 726999 · 77 Camden Street Lower, Dublin, D02 XE80, Ireland) uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use it. Similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) work in comparable ways; we refer to them all as "cookies" here.
The Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function: security, load balancing and remembering your cookie choices. These do not require consent.
Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site (pages visited, time on page, approximate location at city level) so we can improve it. These are set only with your consent and the data is used in aggregate.
Functionality cookies — remember your preferences, such as a subject filter you selected, to make repeat visits smoother.
Third-party and affiliate cookies — when you click an affiliate link, the destination site may set a cookie so the retailer knows the visit came from us. Embedded content (such as fonts or maps) may also set third-party cookies governed by those providers’ own policies.
The Site sets three cookies in total. Strictly necessary cookies are listed first; the analytics cookies are set only after you consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gc-consent | GolfConnecting (first party) | Strictly necessary | Records which cookie categories you accepted or declined, with the date, so we do not ask again on every visit and can evidence your choice. | 12 months |
| _ga | Google (Analytics 4) | Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so we can count how many people use the Site. Set only with your consent. | 13 months |
| _ga_EJD51VY4W2 | Google (Analytics 4) | Analytics | Keeps track of a single visit so pages viewed in one session are counted together. Set only with your consent. | 13 months |
If you decline analytics, no _ga cookies are set at all. You can change your choice at any time via ‘Cookie Settings’ in the footer.
Your Choices
On your first visit you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via the consent banner, and you can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings link on the Site. You can also control cookies in your browser settings — including blocking or deleting them — though blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect how the Site works.
How Long Cookies Last
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a set period — from a few hours to, at most, 13 months — or until you delete them.
Updates and Contact
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes; the date above shows the current version. Questions? Email [email protected].
