Who We Are

Cited.ie is an AI search visibility service for specialist local and service businesses, launching first with Irish law firms. The website https://cited.ie is operated by Gift Phiri and Igor Fossa Silva trading under the registered business name Cited (Business Name Registration No. 785706), 271 Harolds Cross Road, Dublin, D6W CX39, Ireland. Contact: info@cited.ie.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by a website or browser. Local storage is a browser feature that allows a website to store small pieces of information in your browser so that preferences can be remembered between visits.

Cookies and local storage can be used for different purposes, including making a website work properly, remembering user preferences, improving security, remembering cookie choices, measuring website usage, or supporting third-party tools such as analytics or chat widgets. Cited.ie aims to use cookies and local storage in a limited, privacy-conscious way.

What Cited.ie Currently Uses

Cited.ie uses local storage for functional preferences: remembering whether you prefer light mode or dark mode, remembering whether you accepted, declined or saved cookie preferences, and preventing the cookie banner from repeatedly appearing after you have made a choice.

Cited.ie does not use cookies or local storage to collect confidential legal matter details, solicitor client case information, sensitive personal data, or form field values.

Essential and Functional Storage

Some storage is used so the website can provide features requested by you. Where storage is strictly necessary for a service you request, it may be used without asking for consent, but Cited.ie will still provide clear information about it:

  • Cookie preference memory (local storage) — remembers whether you accepted, declined or saved preferences
  • Theme preference (local storage) — remembers light or dark mode
  • Form security / spam protection (technical controls) — helps protect forms from misuse

Preference Storage

Cited.ie stores preferences such as light mode or dark mode, cookie choice, and saved cookie settings. These preferences are used to improve usability and avoid repeatedly asking you for the same choices. You can remove these preferences by using the website's Manage Cookies tool, clearing your browser's site data, or clearing local storage for cited.ie in your browser settings.

Analytics

At launch, Cited.ie avoids unnecessary tracking. No analytics tools are currently active on this website. If analytics are introduced, Cited.ie will use a privacy-conscious analytics setup that does not collect form field values, confidential matter details, solicitor client case information, or sensitive personal data — and this policy will be updated to explain what tool is used, what information is collected, whether consent is required, and how users can opt in or opt out. Cited.ie will not knowingly use analytics to track users across unrelated websites.

Marketing, Advertising and Tracking Cookies

Cited.ie does not currently use advertising cookies, behavioural advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking tools. If this changes in the future, Cited.ie will update this policy and seek consent where required before setting non-essential tracking technologies.

Chat, Support and Embedded Tools

Cited.ie may consider adding a support chat, help widget, booking tool, or similar service in the future. Before adding any such tool, Cited.ie will review whether the tool sets cookies or uses local storage, collects personal data, transfers data outside Ireland or the EEA, uses tracking or profiling, requires a data processing agreement, or needs consent before loading. A chat or support tool will not be loaded automatically before its privacy and cookie impact has been reviewed.

Cited.ie displays a cookie banner that allows you to accept non-essential storage, decline non-essential storage, manage preferences, and save settings. The website remembers your choice using local storage so the banner does not appear repeatedly. If you clear your browser data, change browser, use private browsing, or use another device, you may be asked to choose again.

You can reopen your preferences at any time using the Manage Cookies button in the website footer.

Current Storage Categories

  • Strictly Necessary / Functional — makes the website work and remembers choices you have made, such as theme and cookie preferences. Active at launch.
  • Analytics — would help understand website usage and general traffic trends. Not active; only if enabled and disclosed.
  • Marketing / Tracking — advertising pixels, retargeting cookies, cross-site tracking or behavioural profiling. Not intended at launch.
  • Support / Chat — chat widget, support widget or booking integration. Future only, after review.

Local Storage Items Used by This Website

This website currently uses the following local storage items:

  • cited-theme — remembers your light or dark mode preference. Category: functional.
  • cited-cookie-choice — remembers your cookie choice and saved settings, and prevents repeated banner display. Category: functional.

The exact technical names may change as the website develops; this table will be kept up to date.

How to Change or Withdraw Preferences

You can change your preferences by using the Manage Cookies button in the website footer, clearing cookies and site data in your browser, clearing local storage for cited.ie, or using browser privacy controls. If you withdraw or decline non-essential storage, the website will continue to work, although some optional features may not be available.

Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to view cookies and site data, delete cookies and site data, block some or all cookies, clear local storage, set privacy preferences, and use private browsing mode. Browser settings vary by provider, so check your browser's own help documentation for instructions.

Third-Party Providers

Cited.ie uses third-party service providers to operate the website. These include website hosting (Vercel) and database/storage (Supabase). Email or notification providers, analytics providers, and support or chat providers may be added in the future — where a third-party tool sets cookies, uses local storage, or processes personal data, Cited.ie will review the tool and update this policy where needed.

No Confidential Matter Details

Cited.ie forms are intended for business enquiries only. Please do not submit confidential legal matter details, solicitor client case information, special category data, or sensitive personal data through this website. Cookies and local storage are not used to collect or store legal matter details.

Updates to This Policy

Cited.ie may update this Cookie / Local Storage Policy from time to time as the website develops, as tools change, or as legal, technical, or operational requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
