Cookie Policy

At Irish Manual Handling, we use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website www.irish-manualhandling.ie, secure your account, personalise content, measure performance, and improve our Manual Handling Training experience. Whether you are completing a Manual Handling Course or accessing Manual Handling Online modules, cookies help us deliver a seamless, secure learning environment.

Our platform serves thousands of learners across Dublin, Ireland, and throughout Europe seeking recognised Manual Handling Certification. By using cookies responsibly, we ensure your Manual Handling Training experience is optimised for performance, accessibility, and compliance with GDPR. By continuing to browse our site, you agree to our use of cookies as described here. You can change your preferences at any time through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help websites function, remember choices, and understand how visitors use the site. Cookies can be session (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent (stored until expiry or deletion). For our Manual Handling Course platform, cookies enable essential features like secure login, progress tracking, and certificate generation.

When you access Manual Handling Online training, cookies help remember your course progress, language preferences, and assessment status. This ensures you can pick up your Manual Handling Training exactly where you left off, whether you are studying from Dublin, elsewhere in Ireland, or internationally.

Cookies are fundamental to delivering a seamless Manual Handling Training experience. Here is how we use them to support your Manual Handling Course journey:

• Essential operation: Enable secure login, session continuity, payments, and course access for Manual Handling Online modules. Without these cookies, you would not be able to access your Manual Handling Training account or complete assessments.
• Performance: Improve speed, reliability, and media playback for Manual Handling Online courses. These cookies ensure your training videos and interactive content load quickly, whether you are studying from Dublin, elsewhere in Ireland, or internationally.
• Analytics: Understand what content is useful so we can enhance our Manual Handling Course experience. By analysing how learners interact with Manual Handling Training materials, we continuously improve our platform and certification pathways.
• Personalisation: Remember your preferences (language, region, progress) for a smoother Manual Handling Training experience. This ensures you can resume your Manual Handling Course exactly where you left off.
• Security: Prevent misuse, detect anomalies, and protect your account during Manual Handling Online sessions. Your Manual Handling Certificate data and personal information are safeguarded through robust security measures.

These cookies work together to provide a premium Manual Handling Training experience for learners across Dublin, Ireland, and beyond.

Our Manual Handling Training platform uses different categories of cookies to deliver the best possible Manual Handling Course experience:

1. Strictly Necessary: Required for core site functions and cannot be switched off. These enable you to log in to your Manual Handling Training account, complete assessments, and access your Manual Handling Certificate upon course completion.
2. Functional: Remember your settings and choices to provide enhanced features during Manual Handling Online learning. They store your language preference, course bookmarks, and display settings for an optimised experience.
3. Performance: Improve site speed, responsiveness, and stability for Manual Handling Course delivery. These cookies help our servers handle traffic efficiently so learners in Dublin, Ireland, and internationally can access training without delays.
4. Analytics: Help us measure usage to improve our Manual Handling Training platform. Understanding how learners navigate through Manual Handling Online content enables us to enhance the learning journey and certification process.
5. Advertising: Deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance (where used). This helps potential learners in Ireland discover our Manual Handling Course offerings when searching for workplace safety certification.

These cookies are essential for delivering Manual Handling Training securely and reliably. They enable core functionality that makes your Manual Handling Course accessible:

• Authentication and session management: Securely log you into your Manual Handling Training account and maintain your session while completing Manual Handling Online modules.
• Shopping cart and payment security: Enable safe purchase of Manual Handling Course places, corporate bulk orders for Dublin and Ireland-based organisations, and secure checkout processing.
• Load balancing and traffic distribution: Ensure stable performance when thousands of learners across Ireland access Manual Handling Training simultaneously.
• Fraud prevention and system integrity: Protect your Manual Handling Certificate credentials and personal data from unauthorised access or manipulation.

Because these cookies are essential to the website's operation, they cannot be turned off from our side. Your browser can still block them, but the site may not work properly - you would be unable to access Manual Handling Online training, complete assessments, or download your Manual Handling Cert upon completion.

Sign in with Google: Where available, you can sign in to your account using Sign in with Google.

We never receive your Google password, we do not use this data for advertising, and we never share or sell it. You can withdraw this access at any time from your Google Account permissions page.

Like every professional online platform, Irish Manual Handling automatically processes certain technical data alongside cookies to keep your account safe and to operate our Manual Handling Online training reliably. This is standard, legally recognised practice for digital service providers.

When you use the platform, our servers and security systems record technical information such as:

• IP address and approximate network location - used for account security, fraud prevention, and detecting unauthorised access to your Manual Handling Course;
• Device and browser information (user agent) - used for compatibility, security, and support;
• Sign-in events and key account activity - such as registration, acceptance of our terms, course start confirmations, orders, training progress, assessments, and Manual Handling Certificate generation.

This information serves three purposes, all based on our legitimate interest under GDPR Article 6(1)(f):

1. Security: protecting your account and our platform from fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access;
2. Proof of service delivery: maintaining reliable records that confirm when digital Manual Handling Training was delivered, accessed, and completed - which protects both you and us in the event of any billing question or payment dispute;
3. Legal compliance: meeting our obligations to payment providers, card networks, and applicable law.

These technical records are not used for advertising, are never sold, and are kept only as long as needed for the purposes above, in line with our retention rules. Detailed activity logs are automatically deleted after a limited period, while records evidencing acceptance of our terms are retained for the duration required as legal evidence.

Your privacy matters to us. We provide clear options to manage how cookies are used during your Manual Handling Training experience:

• Consent banner: We display a consent banner (where applicable) to inform you and gather consent before non-essential cookies are set on your device during Manual Handling Course access.
• Withdraw or modify consent: You can change your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool. This applies whether you are completing Manual Handling Online training from Dublin, elsewhere in Ireland, or internationally.
• Minimal data retention: We keep a minimal record of consent state as required by GDPR and compliance best practices. Your Manual Handling Training preferences are respected throughout your learning journey.

Managing your cookie preferences does not affect your ability to complete Manual Handling Training assessments or obtain your Manual Handling Certificate - strictly necessary cookies remain active to ensure platform functionality.

Cookies persist for different durations depending on their purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain until their set expiry date or until you delete them. For Manual Handling Training purposes, we retain cookies only as long as necessary to provide our services effectively.

Course progress cookies for Manual Handling Online training are retained for the duration of your access period, ensuring you can complete your Manual Handling Course without losing progress. We review our cookie usage periodically to ensure alignment with data minimisation principles and GDPR compliance.

Some providers that set cookies may process data outside the EEA/UK. Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms, as provided by the relevant vendors.

As Irish Manual Handling serves learners throughout Ireland, including Dublin, as well as the UK and Europe, we ensure all data transfers comply with applicable regulations. Your Manual Handling Certificate data and course progress information are handled with the highest security standards regardless of where processing occurs.
