Cookie Policy

Last updated: 17 May 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Murguz (“Murguz”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on Murguz (the “Website”). This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

We operate from Ireland, within the European Union, and aim to use cookies in a manner consistent with applicable Irish and EU law, including the GDPR and ePrivacy rules.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website function properly, remember preferences, measure usage, and improve the user experience.

Cookies can be session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

3. Types of Cookies

3.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting. They are commonly used for core website functions, preferences, or analytics.

3.2 Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. They may be used by external service providers such as analytics providers, embedded service providers, or advertising platforms.

4. Cookie Categories

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are cookies that are required for the basic operation, security, and functionality of a website. These cookies do not generally require consent under applicable law where they are genuinely necessary for a service explicitly requested by the user or for essential website operation.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help website operators understand how visitors use a website, such as which pages are visited, how traffic arrives, and how users engage with content. In the European Union, these cookies are generally treated as non-essential and usually require prior consent unless a lawful exemption clearly applies.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to remember settings or choices you make, such as language or display preferences, in order to provide a more tailored experience.

4.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Advertising and targeting cookies are typically used to build profiles, measure advertising performance, or show more relevant ads across websites. These cookies are generally non-essential and require consent under applicable law.

5. How We Currently Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies in a limited way on the Website. This includes browser local storage used to remember your cookie choice, and may include cookies where a relevant feature or third-party service is enabled.

Depending on how the Website is configured at a given time, these may include:

Strictly necessary cookies required to support core website functionality, security, network management, load balancing, or user-requested actions.
Analytics cookies, but only where enabled and only after any consent required by applicable Irish or EU law has been obtained.

When our cookie banner is shown, it allows you to choose Accept All or Necessary Only. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage under the key murguz_cookie_consent so that we do not need to ask you again on every visit from the same browser.

At present, our only planned non-essential analytics tool is Google Analytics. If enabled, Google Analytics may set first-party or third-party cookies to help us understand aggregate Website usage, such as page visits, traffic sources, general engagement patterns, and basic information about the devices and browsers used to access the Website.

If the specific cookies or providers used on the Website change in a material way, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, any consent mechanism made available on the Website.

6. Legal Basis and Consent

Under Irish and EU rules, including the GDPR and the ePrivacy framework, we will not place or read non-essential cookies or similar technologies, such as analytics cookies used by Google Analytics, unless you have given consent where consent is required.

Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies may be used without consent where they are genuinely required for the operation of the Website, to remember your cookie choice, or to provide a service you specifically request.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. If no cookie settings tool is available on the Website after you have made a choice, you can withdraw or change your choice by deleting the Website's cookies and local storage in your browser settings and then choosing again when the banner is shown. You may also contact us if you need help changing your choice.

7. Google Analytics

If we enable Google Analytics, Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC may process information about your use of the Website through cookies or similar technologies. This may include information such as pages viewed, session information, approximate location derived from IP address, device and browser information, and referral sources.

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregated Website activity and improve the Website. We do not currently use Google Analytics for advertising, remarketing, or personalised ad targeting on the Website.

Google Analytics may involve the processing of personal data outside the EEA, including in the United States. Where that occurs, we will rely on a lawful transfer mechanism under applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, together with supplementary measures where required.

For more information about how Google processes data, please see Google's policies, including the Google partner sites notice.

8. Managing Cookies

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting existing cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of some parts of the Website.

On the Website, our cookie banner lets you accept all cookies or continue with strictly necessary cookies only. Choosing Necessary Only means non-essential analytics cookies should not be placed unless you later give consent.

Because your banner choice is remembered using local storage, clearing the Website's local storage or site data in your browser will reset that choice and allow the banner to appear again. Browser controls vary, but they usually allow you to delete cookies, clear site data, block certain cookies, or manage permissions for individual websites.

9. International Transfers

Some third-party providers whose tools we use, such as analytics providers, may process personal data collected through cookies or similar technologies outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as the EEA.

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we will ensure that the transfer is subject to an appropriate safeguard recognised under applicable data protection law, such as an adequacy decision by the European Commission or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, together with supplementary measures where required.

10. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use, our Website, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice on the Website.
