Cookie Policy
When you visit tileinstallersanantonio.com, small files called cookies get stored on your device. This page explains what they are, which ones we use, and what you can do about them. It's not a long read β but it covers everything you're entitled to know under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive as they apply in Ireland.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They're not programmes β they can't run code or carry viruses. What they do is remember information between page loads or visits: things like your preferences, session state, or how you arrived at the site.
Two types exist based on lifespan. Session cookies disappear the moment you close your browser β they're temporary by design. Persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them manually. Expiry periods vary from a few days to several years depending on the cookie's purpose.
Types of Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies on this site. The table below breaks them down by type, purpose, and how long they last.
| Type | Purpose | Storage Period |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the site functioning β page navigation, security, basic preferences | Session (deleted on browser close) |
| Analytical | Track visit statistics via Google Analytics β pages viewed, time on site, traffic source | Up to 26 months |
| Marketing / advertising | Record interactions with affiliate links and track referral activity for casino review purposes | Up to 30 days |
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These run without your consent β and that's permitted under the ePrivacy Directive because the site simply can't work without them. They handle things like remembering your cookie preferences, maintaining your session, and securing form submissions. Blocking them would break basic site functions.
Analytical Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site β which pages get the most traffic, where people drop off, how long they spend reading a review. The data is anonymised before it reaches us; we never see individual IP addresses in identifiable form. Google's own privacy policy governs how they handle this data on their end.
Marketing Cookies
Some outbound links on the site contain affiliate tracking parameters. When you click through to a casino from tileinstallersanantonio.com, a cookie may record that referral. This is standard practice for review sites operating on an affiliate model. No personally identifiable information is passed to third parties through these cookies.
How and Why We Use Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site stable β without them, navigating between pages or submitting a contact form wouldn't work reliably. Analytical cookies let us see what content is actually useful and where the site falls short. Marketing cookies support the commercial model that keeps the site free to use.
We don't use cookies to build advertising profiles or track you across unrelated websites. The data collected through analytical and marketing cookies on this site stays within the scope described above.
Your Rights and Cookie Management
Under GDPR and Ireland's implementation of the ePrivacy Directive, you have the right to accept, reject, or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time. Strictly necessary cookies can't be disabled without breaking the site β everything else is optional.
The simplest way to manage cookies is through your browser settings. All major browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies from specific sites or across the board:
- Chrome: Settings β Privacy and security β Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings β Privacy & Security β Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences β Privacy β Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings β Cookies and site permissions β Cookies and site data
Blocking analytical or marketing cookies won't affect your ability to read content on the site. It may affect how accurately we can report traffic or track affiliate referrals, but that's our problem β not yours.
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Effective Date
This Cookie Policy was last updated in March 2026. We review it whenever there are material changes to the cookies we use or the legislation that governs them. The date above reflects the current version.
