Waterford Crystal FC operates this website to provide information about our teams, fixtures, events, and activities. This Cookie Policy explains how cookies are used when you visit our website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve security, and provide information to website operators.
Under EU and Irish law, non-essential cookies (such as analytics or advertising cookies) normally require user consent.
2. Cookies Used on This Website
Our website is hosted on WordPress.com, a managed hosting platform operated by Automattic Inc.
WordPress.com automatically sets certain cookies that are required for:
- Basic website functionality
- Security and fraud prevention
- Performance monitoring
- Load balancing and platform administration
In addition, WordPress.com may place analytics, performance, or advertising-related cookies as part of the services provided on the free WordPress.com plan. These cookies are set and controlled by WordPress.com and its technology partners, not directly by Waterford Crystal FC.
Examples of cookies that may be set include:
- Performance and analytics cookies (e.g. WordPress.com / Jetpack cookies)
- Advertising and testing cookies used by WordPress.com partners
- Privacy preference cookies used for regulatory compliance
Because this website is hosted on the free WordPress.com platform, it is not technically possible for the club to fully control or block all non-essential cookies before they are set.
3. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external websites, such as our club shop or social media pages.
Clicking these links does not place cookies on your device from our website. External websites operate under their own cookie and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their cookie practices.
4. Managing Cookies
You can manage or delete cookies at any time through your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- Delete existing cookies
- Block all or certain cookies
- Receive alerts when cookies are being set
Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
