This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to deliver secure, reliable, and high‑performance Manual Handling Training aligned with GDPR and best practices across Dublin and Ireland.

1) Overview

At Irish Manual Handling, we use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website 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.

2) What Are Cookies?

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.

3) Why We Use Cookies

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.

4) Types of Cookies

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.

5) Strictly Necessary Cookies

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.

We use analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Manual Handling Training platform so we can improve content and usability. Analytics help us identify which Manual Handling Course pages are most helpful, where learners spend the most time, and how we can enhance the Manual Handling Online learning experience.

Where used, analytics cookies collect aggregated usage data such as page views, time on page, device information, and navigation patterns. This data helps us optimise the Manual Handling Training journey for learners across Dublin, Ireland, and internationally. We use these insights to:
