This page describes how the website behaves today. It is not a formal legal opinion. DC Drain Cleaning should have it checked against current Irish and EU GDPR and ePrivacy rules before relying on it.
Your choice
On your first visit a banner asks you to accept all optional cookies, reject them, or choose category by category. Optional categories are off until you opt in. You can reopen the choice any time with Cookie settings in the footer.
The choice is saved in your browser under the name dcc-cookie-consent (local storage, version 1). It is kept for six months and then we ask again. If we change what the categories mean, the version changes and the banner returns. Rejecting optional cookies does not block calls, booking, or quote forms.
Strictly necessary
Always on. This covers the consent record itself, the signed admin session used only by staff, and Google reCAPTCHA when you submit a form. reCAPTCHA is there to block spam on a form you chose to send. It is loaded from Google and may set its own cookies at that moment. It is not used for advertising.
Analytics (optional)
Google Analytics 4, measurement ID G-EFFPENMFGM, loads only after you allow Analytics. It records page views and when a phone-number link is used. IP anonymisation is turned on. If you reject Analytics, or later switch it off, the tag is not loaded on the next page, future hits are stopped where the browser allows, and first-party cookies whose names start with _ga, _gid or _gat are deleted when this site can see them.
Marketing (optional)
A Marketing switch appears only when a Google Ads account ID is configured for the site. Until you allow it, Ads conversion tags are not loaded. If no Ads ID is set, the category is not shown and nothing in that category runs. Related cookies this site can see (names starting with _gcl_ or _gac_) are cleared when marketing is off.
What we do not treat as optional cookies
- Trustpilot quotes are read through our own server. The page does not embed a Trustpilot cookie widget.
- The map is a static image that links to Google Maps. A Google Maps frame is used only if that image fails to load, and that frame can contact Google.
- Facebook and YouTube icons are ordinary links. They do not load social pixels on this site.
Limits
If a Google script has already run in the current tab, the browser may keep it in memory until you reload, even after you withdraw consent. We tell Google Consent Mode to deny further storage and we set Google's disable flag so later hits should stop. Cookies written on Google's own domains cannot be removed by this website. Use your browser settings if you want those gone as well.
