Cookie Policy

Last updated: 25 August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how PokeShop ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit pokeshop.ie.

PokeShop is an Irish-based online Pokémon card business operated from Offaly, Ireland.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit and can be used for purposes such as keeping you signed in, remembering items in your shopping basket, improving website functionality and understanding how visitors use a website.

Some technologies that perform similar functions to cookies may also be covered by the rules relating to cookies and tracking technologies.

2. How PokeShop Uses Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes, including:

Operating and securing our website
Allowing customers to create and use accounts
Keeping products in your shopping basket
Processing online orders
Remembering certain preferences
Understanding how visitors interact with our website
Measuring and improving website performance
Supporting the functionality of our Wix website

Some cookies are essential to the operation of the website, while others are optional and are used for analytics or other purposes.

3. Essential Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for our website to function correctly.

These may include cookies that enable:

Shopping basket functionality
Customer account login
Checkout and payment functionality
Website security
Session management
Remembering essential website settings
Other functionality that you have specifically requested

Because these cookies are necessary to provide services you have requested, certain strictly necessary cookies may be used without obtaining consent where permitted by applicable law.

The Irish Data Protection Commission recognises a limited exemption from consent for cookies that are strictly necessary to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the user, such as cookies required for an online shopping cart.

4. Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics functionality provided by Wix to understand how visitors interact with pokeshop.ie.

Analytics may provide information such as:

The number of visitors to our website
Which pages are visited
How visitors navigate the website
How long visitors spend on pages
General information about website usage
Website performance and behaviour

This information helps us understand how our website is being used and improve the shopping experience.

Under Irish data protection rules, analytics cookies generally require the visitor's consent before they are placed or used.

Where Wix Analytics relies on analytics cookies, Wix states that its analytics reporting will only collect relevant visitor data after visitors have consented to analytics cookies through the Wix Cookie Banner.

5. Wix Cookies

Our website is hosted and operated using Wix.

Wix may use cookies and similar technologies to provide website functionality, identify registered members, operate and secure the Wix platform, and analyse the performance of its services.

The specific cookies used on our website may change as Wix updates its services or as we add or remove website functionality.

Wix provides tools that allow website owners to display a cookie consent banner and manage consent for non-essential cookies.

For more information about Wix's use of cookies and data protection practices, please refer to Wix's own privacy and cookie information.

6. Cookie Categories

Depending on the functionality enabled on our website, cookies may fall into the following categories:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot generally be disabled through our cookie consent system.

They may support shopping baskets, customer accounts, checkout, security and other essential website functionality.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website and measure website performance.

We will request your consent before using analytics cookies where consent is required by law.

Marketing Cookies

If marketing or advertising technologies are added to our website in the future, these may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising activity or provide personalised advertising.

Where consent is legally required, we will obtain consent before using these technologies.

Functional Cookies

Some cookies may be used to remember preferences or provide additional functionality that is not strictly necessary for the basic operation of the website.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using these cookies.

7. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit pokeshop.ie, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to manage your cookie preferences.

Where applicable, you can:

Accept non-essential cookies
Reject non-essential cookies
Select specific categories of cookies
Change your preferences later

We will not use non-essential cookies that require consent before you have provided the required consent.

The Irish Data Protection Commission states that users should be able to make granular choices about cookies and should not be forced to accept tracking or advertising cookies simply to use a website.

8. Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time.

Where the Wix Cookie Banner provides a cookie settings or preference option, you can use that facility to change your choices.

We aim to make withdrawing consent as easy as giving consent.

The Irish Data Protection Commission states that users must be able to withdraw or vary their consent for cookies and tracking technologies and that doing so should be as easy as providing consent.

You can also control or delete cookies through your web browser. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website, including account, basket or checkout functionality.

9. Third-Party Cookies

Some features or services incorporated into our website may be provided by third parties.

If we add third-party services that use cookies or similar tracking technologies, those services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

Examples could include analytics, advertising, social media, payment or other third-party services.

We will update this Cookie Policy where appropriate if we introduce additional tracking technologies that materially affect how visitor information is collected or used.

10. Changes to Our Use of Cookies

The cookies and technologies used on our website may change over time.

We may introduce new website functionality, analytics services or other features that require additional cookies or similar technologies.

Where required, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies.

We may also update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to our website, the technologies we use or applicable legal requirements.

The latest version of this Cookie Policy will always be available on pokeshop.ie.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights under the GDPR in relation to personal data collected through cookies and similar technologies.

These may include the right to:

Access your personal data
