1. Introduction
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly and can also help us understand how it is used. This policy explains which cookies the Origin Media website uses and how you can manage them. For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
2. Types of cookies we use
We aim to keep cookies to a minimum. The table below lists the cookies this site may set:
| Cookie name | Purpose | Type | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
om-cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie choice (stored locally, not a tracking cookie) | Essential | Until cleared | Origin Media |

3. Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences or using the booking widget. The website will not work properly without them.
4. Analytics cookies
With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most popular — so we can improve it. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them.
5. How to manage cookies
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the banner on this site at any time. You can also control cookies through your browser settings:
Please note that disabling some cookies may affect how the website works for you.
6. Cookie consent
On your first visit, a consent banner asks whether you accept non-essential cookies. In line with the GDPR and the Irish ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. No. 336 of 2011), no non-essential cookies — including Google Analytics, Google Ads and other marketing cookies — are set until you give your prior, explicit consent. “Decline non-essential” is offered as clearly and easily as “Accept all”, and you can change your choice at any time by clearing the site’s stored preference in your browser. Essential cookies needed to make the site work are always active.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, so please check back periodically.
