Privacy
Last updated 10 November 2026
This site doesn’t ask for your name or email address. If you agree, Google Analytics counts your visit. If you don’t, nothing is recorded beyond what every web server logs.
Who is responsible
Michael Comyn, Limerick, Ireland. You can reach me at studio@comyn.ie about anything on this page.
Visit statistics, only if you say yes
When you first arrive, a bar at the bottom of the page asks whether I may count your visit. If you click Yes, the site loads Google Analytics, which records the pages you look at, how you found the site, your approximate location (to city level), and the kind of device and browser you use. It doesn’t give me your name or your IP address.
Google Analytics sets two cookies, _ga and _ga_Z9PWH994KY, which last up to two years. Google keeps the statistics for no longer than 14 months. The service is run by Google Ireland Limited, and some data may be processed in the United States under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
The legal basis is your consent. If you click No thanks, Google Analytics never loads. You can change your answer at any time with the Cookie choice link at the foot of the home page, and saying no removes the Analytics cookies.
Remembering your answer
Your Yes or No is stored in your own browser so the bar doesn’t ask again on every visit. It isn’t sent anywhere.
Server logs
The site is hosted by Register365 (Namesco Ireland Limited). Like every web host, its servers log the IP address, time, page requested and browser type for each visit, to keep the site secure and running. That’s a legitimate interest, and the logs are kept for a limited period.
Playing an episode
The episodes are hosted by pod.co. When you press play, your browser fetches the audio from pod.co’s servers, which see your IP address and device type and count the download. Nothing is fetched from pod.co until you press play.
Fonts and images
The fonts and images on this site are served from comyn.ie itself. Nothing is loaded from Google Fonts or other outside services when you visit.
If you email me
If you write to studio@comyn.ie, I keep your message for as long as the conversation needs it, and I don’t share it.
Links to other sites
The site links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Substack, Amazon and Audible. Once you follow a link, their privacy policies apply.
What I don’t do
No advertising, no selling or sharing of data, and no profiling.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete any personal data held about you, object to its use, or withdraw your consent at any time. Email studio@comyn.ie. If you’re not happy with the answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
Changes
If anything here changes, I’ll update this page and the date at the top.
