1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and collect analytics data that helps us improve the Platform.

We also use similar technologies such as local storage (for storing your cookie consent preference) and pixel tags. This policy covers all such technologies collectively.

Under EU law (the ePrivacy Directive, implemented in Ireland via the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011), we must obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled.

Cookie nameProviderPurposeDuration
sb-access-tokenSupabaseKeeps you signed in to your accountSession
sb-refresh-tokenSupabaseRefreshes your session automatically7 days
bo_cookie_consentBoxed OffStores your cookie consent preference1 year (localStorage)

Analytics cookies

We do not currently set any analytics cookies, and we do not use an analytics, advertising, or session-recording service. The consent control is kept in place so that nothing can be switched on without asking you first.

3. How to Control Cookies

You are not currently asked for consent, and that is deliberate

Every cookie listed above is strictly necessary — it keeps you signed in, or it records this preference. Under the ePrivacy Directive strictly necessary cookies do not require consent, so we do not show a consent banner and do not ask you to agree to anything.

We previously showed a banner offering “analytics” cookies. That was wrong: no analytics service runs on this platform, so there was nothing to consent to. The banner now appears only if a non-essential cookie is actually introduced, because it is driven by the same configuration that would load one — it cannot say we are tracking you while we are not, or stay silent while we are.

If that changes, a banner will appear on your next visit and this page will list the new cookies before it does. You can clear your browser's local storage for boxedoff.ie at any time to reset any stored preference.

Browser settings

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete existing cookies
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block all cookies from specific sites

Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent the Platform from functioning correctly. Links to cookie settings for common browsers:

Opt-out tools

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
