1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Draig Therapeutics Ltd ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or interact with https://draigtherapeutics.com/ (the "Website"). We use these technologies to ensure the Website operates efficiently, to enhance user experience, to analyse performance, and—where necessary—with your consent, to deliver personalized advertising.
This Policy should be read together with our Website Privacy Notice, which sets out how we process your personal data.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies enable a website to recognize a user's device each time they return and are commonly used to ensure websites function more efficiently, enhance the user experience, and provide valuable information to site owners. Cookies can be set by the website owner ("first-party cookies") or by third-party providers ("third-party cookies"), such as analytics or advertising partners.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off. These cookies are used only for the specific purposes for which they were set. They are typically only set in response to actions you take (e.g., setting privacy preferences, logging in, completing forms). Strictly necessary cookies do not require user consent.

Draig rely on analytics cookies to obtain insights into the user experience and we utilise third-party tools to do so, for example Google Analytics.
These cookies collect aggregated and anonymous information for statistical purposes, such as website usage and performance metrics. Where user consent is provided, they may also collect more detailed information about user interactions with the website.

3.4 Targeting & Advertising Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
These cookies and other tracking technologies, such as tracking pixels, tracking scripts and widgets or plug-ins may be set on our website by third parties such as social media providers and our advertising partners. For example a widget or plug-in is an embedded third-party feature that looks like a social media button on our website, such as LinkedIn, which may collect usage or technical data about the user when loaded or interacted with. The third parties may then use the information collected by these tracking technologies to create a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. To obtain further information on the information collected by LinkedIn, please see their Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
Legal basis: Consent.
