2. What data we collect
topdatingireland.com is a comparison website. You can use it without creating an account and without filling in any form. We only collect the data that is generated technically when the site is visited, or that is contained in the address of the page you open:
- Access data: IP address, date and time of the visit, page opened
- Device data: browser, operating system, device type and model
- Approximate location: country, region, town and postcode, derived from the IP address by our content delivery network
- Advertising identifiers: the Google click identifier (
gclid) together with the campaign, ad group, keyword and match type, if you reached us through an ad
- Visit identifier: an internal code that tells one visit apart from another
- Time of redirection: when you clicked on one of our recommendations
- Your cookie choice
This data is also generated when you read this privacy policy.
3. Data we receive from our partners
If you sign up on one of the recommended platforms, the affiliate network concerned reports the sign-up back to us so that we can invoice our commission and measure how well our ads perform. In addition to the visit identifier, this report may include gender and age group.
This information does not come from you but from our partner. We only use it in aggregated form to measure results and we do not link it to any named individual.
4. Purposes and legal bases

5. Cookies and similar technologies
We only set cookies that are not needed for the site to work after you have agreed to them in the cookie banner. The legal basis is Regulation 5 of the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011), together with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Until you give your consent, all of Google's storage and advertising features are switched off through Consent Mode.
