Disclosures

Welcome to our site! Here’s the fine print—made simple—so you know how we operate.

About Our Site

We share tips, articles, and resources for travelers to Ireland and Americans dreaming of Irish citizenship. To keep this site running, we use affiliate links, Google Ads, allow comments, and offer a newsletter. Below, we explain how it all works—and how we protect your trust.

How We Make Money

We’re upfront: this site earns cash in a couple of ways. First, through affiliate links—if you click certain links and buy something, we might get a commission at no extra cost to you. These are partnerships with companies we recommend, like travel gear or services we think you’ll love. Not every link is an affiliate link—we only add them where they fit naturally. Our opinions? Always our own.

Second, we use Google Ads to show you relevant advertisements. Google and its partners may collect data like your browsing activity, IP address, and device info to tailor ads to your interests. We earn revenue when you view or click these ads, but it doesn’t cost you extra. For more on how Google handles your data, check their Google’s Privacy Policy. You can tweak your ad preferences in Google’s ad settings or manage cookies via our consent banner when you visit—choose “Do not consent” or “Manage options” to control ad personalization. Reach out at info@dublinyanks.com if you’ve got questions!

Want to know more about either? Email us at info@dublinyanks.com. Thanks for supporting us—it keeps the content coming!

Note: Both affiliate links and Google Ads use cookies to track stuff. See “Your Privacy” below for details.

Your Privacy: What We Collect and Why

We care about your data. Here’s what we collect, how we use it, and your options.

Affiliate links and Google Ads use cookies or tracking tech (like pixels) from our partners to log clicks, sales, or ad views. This helps us earn commissions or ad revenue. We also use:

  • Essential Cookies: Keep the site working (e.g., navigation).
  • Analytics Cookies: Show us how you use the site (e.g., page views).
  • Affiliate Cookies: Track purchases—data like your device ID might go to partners. See their privacy policies for more.
  • Advertising Cookies: Used by Google Ads to show you tailored ads based on your interests.

When you visit, our cookie consent banner will let you know about cookies. You can accept them, reject them with “Do not consent,” or customize your choices with “Manage options.” You can also adjust ad preferences directly in Google’s ad settings. Questions? Reach us at info@dublinyanks.com.

Comments

Love our WordPress comments? When you post, we collect your name, email, IP address, and browser details. Your name and comment go public; the rest helps us fight spam. It’s stored until you ask us to delete it—info@dublinyanks.com. Commenting’s optional—share what you’re cool with!

Note: Comments might get checked by Akismet for spam. See their policy at Akismet’s Privacy Policy.

Email Newsletter

Sign up for our Jetpack-powered newsletter, and we’ll grab your name (optional, unverified) and email. We use this to send travel tips, updates, and occasional promos. Jetpack might track opens or clicks to make it better.

Your info stays with Jetpack — see Jetpack’s Privacy Policy — until you unsubscribe (link in every email) or we stop the service. Opt out anytime at info@dublinyanks.com.

Who Sees Your Data

We don’t sell your info. Affiliate partners get tracking data for commissions, Google Ads uses it for ad targeting, and analytics tools use anonymized stats to improve the site. That’s it!

Your Rights

You’re in control. Ask to see, edit, or delete your data (comments, newsletter, etc.) at [your email]. EU folks have EU GDPR rights; UK folks have UK GDPR rights, Californians have CCPA rights—details on request.

How Long We Keep It

Affiliate, ad, and analytics data sticks around for about 12 months (or as law requires), then it’s deleted or anonymized. Comments and newsletter data stay until you say otherwise.

Security

We lean on WordPress and Jetpack’s protections, but no site’s bulletproof. If a breach happens, we’ll let you know as required.

Content and Advice: What to Know

Not Professional Advice

Our travel and citizenship tips are general info—not legal or immigration advice. Rules change fast, so check with pros or official sources like Irish Immigration or the U.S. Embassy in Ireland. We’re not liable if you act on our articles alone.

Accuracy

We aim to keep info spot-on as of our launch date on March 17, 2025, but travel and visa details shift. Verify with Citizens Information Ireland or the U.S. State Department.

We link to handy sites (government pages, travel resources) beyond affiliates and ads. We don’t control or endorse them—use at your own risk.

Sponsored Content

If we ever run sponsored posts (e.g., with a travel brand), we’ll label them “sponsored” or “paid” and might earn a fee. Our take stays honest unless noted.

Comments Aren’t Us

Your comments are yours—we don’t back them. We might zap spammy or rude ones, but we don’t verify what you say.

Our Stuff

Articles and images here are ours unless stated. Don’t copy or sell them without asking—email info@dublinyanks.com for permission.

Following the Rules

We stick to laws like the U.S. FTC guidelines, EU GDPR, UK GDPR, California CCPA, and Ireland’s data rules. For affiliates and ads, we follow FTC Influencer Rules—clear disclosures, no tricks. Got questions? Hit us up at info@dublinyanks.com.

Non-compliance can mean fines or account issues (e.g., with partners like Mavely or Amazon Associates or Google). We keep it legit so you can trust us.

Ownership and Funding

This website is a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Robert Cox of Dublin, Ireland. The site is self-funded by the owner, Robert Cox, and does not rely on external funding, grants, or sponsorships unless explicitly stated otherwise. All content and operational decisions are made independently by the owner.

Actionable Feedback Policy

We value feedback from our visitors and encourage you to share your thoughts, suggestions, or concerns with us. You may reach us via email at info@dublinyanks.com or by leaving a comment on the relevant page or post. Feedback will be reviewed promptly, and while we aim to respond to all inquiries, we reserve the right to prioritize actionable suggestions or critical issues. We are committed to maintaining an open dialogue with our audience and using your input to improve the site where possible.

Corrections Policy

We strive to provide accurate and reliable information on this website. If you notice an error, inaccuracy, or omission in our content, please let us know through our contact page, via email at info@dublinyanks.com, or by leaving a comment on the relevant page. We will review all reported issues as soon as possible and, if necessary, make corrections or updates to ensure the information remains trustworthy. Transparency is important to us, and we may include a note acknowledging significant corrections where appropriate.

Ethics Policy

This website is committed to upholding high ethical standards in its content creation and operations. All content is produced with integrity, aiming to inform and engage visitors without resorting to sensationalism, misinformation, or unethical practices. We respect intellectual property rights and will credit sources where applicable. The owner, Robert Cox, adheres to principles of honesty, fairness, and accountability in all published material. We do not accept payment for editorial content unless clearly disclosed as sponsored material, and any such arrangements will be transparently labeled for our audience.

Diversity Policy

As a sole proprietorship operated by a single individual, Robert Cox, this website does not maintain a formal diversity policy. The content and perspectives presented reflect the views and experiences of the owner. We are committed to treating all individuals and topics with respect and fairness, regardless of background, and welcome feedback from a diverse audience to enrich our understanding and improve our work.

Diversity Staffing Report

This website is run entirely by its sole owner and author, Robert Cox, with no additional staff or contributors. As such, a diversity staffing report is not applicable. The operation of the site is a one-person endeavor, and all responsibilities—from content creation to site management—are handled by Robert Cox alone.
