Privacy and cookies

We may collect and process the following data about you:

• Information that you provide by filling in forms on our site tjc-group.com (the “Site”). This includes information provided at the time of registering to use the Site, subscribing to our newsletter, posting material or requesting further services, completing any surveys or reporting any problem with the Site;
• Records of your correspondence (if any) with us;
• Details of your visits to our site including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data and the resources that you access;
• We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.

We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system, and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. They help us to improve the Site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. Some of the cookies we use are essential for the site to operate. They enable us:

• to estimate our audience size and usage pattern;
• to store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise the Site according to aggregate preferences;
• to speed up your searches; and
• to recognise you when you return to the Site.

The main cookies that we use provide us with valuable data about our website. These are from Google Analytics and are completely anonymous, telling us information such as how many people have visited our website and which pages are the most popular. This allows us to ensure that our website is doing its job and make improvements to help you use the site. This information is really useful to us, but if you would like to opt out, you can do so at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Our website is built using technology by WordPress (www.wordpress.com) and this also uses cookies that help the site to work better for you and monitors the pages that you visit. Again, this is completely anonymous and is stored on your computer for a very short period of time.

We also link to other websites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and WordPress where our blog is held. We’re pretty sure that they use the same kind of cookies but as these sites are not controlled by us, we cannot guarantee the cookies that they are using and suggest that you read their privacy policies to be absolutely sure.

We really hope that this is ok, but if you are really unhappy with cookies being used, the best way around this is to turn it off in your browser settings so that they are not used on any website. To do this, you can go to your privacy settings in either Tools or Options depending on your browser.

On this website we use HubSpot for contact forms and landing pages. If you register for the newsletter in our website, we will process the response data with HubSpot. HubSpot is a software company from the USA with a branch office in Ireland. Contact: HubSpot, 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland, Telephone: +353 1 5187500.

We use the Google Analytics tool of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, (“Google”) on our website. Google Analytics enables us to analyse and evaluate the use of our website in order to compile reports on the website activities of our visitors based on this information.

We use the Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager helps us to control other components and scripts used on the website. The Tag Manager does not access the data of these played components and scripts. By using the Tag Manager, your online identifiers (including cookie identifiers) and your IP address are processed by Google.

We use the retargeting tool of LinkedIn Ireland Ltd, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”). For this purpose, our website contains the LinkedIn Insight tag, which allows us to collect and statistically analyse statistical, pseudonymous information about your visit and use of our website. The data is also used for remarketing purposes.

We use Google’s remarketing feature within the Google AdWords service. This service allows us to use a cookie to serve ads to you on other websites that match your interests.
