PRISM Cookies Policy

PRISM uses cookies and similar technologies on our website to help operate the website, improve its functionality and performance, understand how visitors use our website, and support our communications and business activities.

This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how PRISM uses them, the types of cookies that may be used on our website, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.

This Cookies Policy should be read together with our PRISM Privacy Statement, which explains in more detail how PRISM collects, uses, stores and protects personal data.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, mobile device or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise a device and, depending on the type of cookie, remember information about your visit, preferences or interactions.

We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and other tracking technologies. In this Cookies Policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies”.

Cookies may be:

  • First-party cookies, which are placed by PRISM or by a service provider acting on our behalf.
  • Third-party cookies, which are placed by third parties whose services or content are used on our website.

PRISM uses cookies and similar technologies for a number of purposes, including to:

  • Support webinars, forms, communications or other website functionality where applicable.

  • Support marketing or communications activity where you have provided the required consent.
  • Understand engagement with our content and digital communications, where permitted by applicable law and subject to your preferences.

Not all cookies are used for the same purpose. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others are optional and will only be used where you have provided consent where consent is required.

We may also use technologies similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and other tracking technologies. In this Cookies Policy, we refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies”.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to operate correctly and securely. They may be used to enable core website functionality, maintain security, support navigation and technical operation, remember your cookie preferences, and provide a service or functionality that you have explicitly requested.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, including pages visited, interactions with content, navigation patterns and general website performance.

We may use this information to understand website usage, identify areas for improvement and improve our content, website experience and services.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using analytics or other non-essential cookies.

Functional or Preference Cookies

Where used, these cookies may allow the website to remember choices you make, such as preferences or settings, and provide enhanced functionality.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, we will obtain consent where required by applicable law.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Where used, marketing or advertising cookies and similar technologies may allow PRISM or relevant third-party providers to understand interactions with our content, measure marketing activity, or support relevant communications and advertising.

PRISM will not place non-essential marketing or advertising cookies on your device without obtaining consent where consent is required by applicable law.

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES AND SERVICES

Our website may contain content or functionality provided by third parties, including analytics providers, webinar platforms, video providers, social media services, communications platforms or other technology providers.

Depending on how those services are implemented, those providers may place cookies or use similar technologies on your device.

Where required, these technologies will only be enabled after you provide the necessary consent through our cookie management tools.

Third parties may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and contractual arrangements with PRISM.

These providers may include providers of:

  • Website hosting and infrastructure.
  • Analytics and website performance services.
  • Webinar and event services.
  • Video and media services.
  • Customer relationship management systems.
  • Email and communications platforms.
  • Security and fraud-prevention services.
  • Social media and embedded content.

Where third-party technologies are used, PRISM will take appropriate steps to ensure that their use is consistent with applicable data protection and ePrivacy requirements.

5. COOKIE CONSENT AND YOUR PREFERENCES

Where required by law, PRISM will ask for your consent before placing or accessing non-essential cookies or using similar tracking technologies on your device.

Our cookie consent mechanism is intended to allow you to make informed and, where applicable, granular choices about the categories of cookies that you wish to permit.

We will not treat your continued use of the website as consent to non-essential cookies.

Where consent is required, consent should be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous.

You may choose to accept or reject categories of optional cookies where those choices are available.

Where you have previously provided consent to optional cookies, you may withdraw or change that consent at any time.

PRISM will provide a mechanism that allows you to change or withdraw your cookie preferences as easily as you were able to provide them.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of some parts of the website.

6. INFORMATION COLLECTED AND RETENTION

Depending on the cookies and similar technologies used, information collected may include:

  • IP address or other online identifiers.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Operating system and device information.
  • Language and time zone.
  • Pages viewed and navigation activity.
  • Approximate location.
  • Referring website.
  • Interactions with website content.
  • Dates and times of visits.
  • Information about how you interact with forms, webinars or other digital features.
  • Information relating to your cookie preferences and consent choices.

Some information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data where it relates to an identified or identifiable individual. Where this is the case, PRISM will process that information in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Cookies may be either “session cookies”, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent cookies”, which remain on your device for a defined period or until they are deleted.

The duration of individual cookies depends on their purpose and the provider that places them.

Information about the duration of cookies used on the PRISM website should be made available through our cookie preference tool and/or the relevant cookie information provided on the website.

Where a cookie is used to record your consent or cookie preferences, PRISM will retain that information for no longer than is reasonably necessary to manage your preferences and comply with applicable requirements.

7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Some third-party providers used by PRISM may process information outside Ireland or the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, PRISM will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are used where required.

Further information about international transfers and the processing of personal data is available in our PRISM Privacy Statement.

8. COOKIES USED ON OUR WEBSITE

The precise cookies and similar technologies used by PRISM may change from time to time as our website, systems and third-party services develop.

Our cookie preference tool should therefore be treated as the most current source of information regarding the cookies and technologies active on the website, including their names, purposes, providers and duration.

Where appropriate, PRISM may provide information identifying the cookies and technologies currently in use, including their provider, purpose and duration.

9. YOUR RIGHTS

Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal data, you may have rights under applicable data protection law, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction and objection, subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions.

You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Further information about your rights is available in our PRISM Privacy Statement.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission if you believe that your personal data or data protection rights have not been handled in accordance with applicable law.

10. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIES POLICY

PRISM may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our website, technologies, services, legal requirements or data-processing practices.

The latest version will be published on this website and the effective date will be updated accordingly.
