Cookie technology helps displaying relevant information for you
Cookies are small text files that websites send to your computer as an ‘Internet user's identification card’. By placing a cookie, our website will know when you have returned. This enables the site to bring up information relevant to you, for example your name, past orders, products you looked at, etc. and makes your shopping experience on our website easier
Cookies make the interaction between you and our website faster and more convenient. Without cookies, you would not be able to fill a shopping basket or you would have to fill in all of your details each time you open an order page and want to buy again. The Dublin Mint Office website uses cookies to let you move from one part of the web site to another and to add coins to the shopping basket without having to login repeatedly.
We also use cookies to register which of our products you are interested in. We may use this to understand what most appeals to you so we can make our offers as appropriate as possible and show you coins that are relevant to you and your collection. Browsing behaviour may also be used to create relevant advertising on websites with product recommendations that relate to the items you viewed on our website. Cookies are always anonymized and only used to pick relevant information for a group of customers. We also use browsing behaviour data to create personal product recommendations on our website, our marketing emails and our printed offers.
Cookies are not computer programs, and can't read other information saved on your hard drive. They cannot be used to disseminate viruses, or get a user's email address etc. They only contain and transfer to the website as much information as the users themselves have disclosed to that website. It is possible to opt out of cookies via your browser’s cookie settings, but if you do this you will not be able to shop from most websites as many functions depend on cookies. Cookies are computer specific, so if you log on to any site from a different computer, the cookie settings on that computer will apply and your shopping experience might be less convenient as a consequence.

We use a third-party service provider to advertise on our behalf across the Internet.

Where we store your personal data
The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who works for us or for one of our suppliers.

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
Transmission of information via the internet is not always completely secure.

Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.
