“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be received and stored via your browser to your computer’s hard drive.

The Portmarnock Community School Website does not use cookies that are stored to your hard drive.

Two Cookies are used in Portmarnock Community School’s online learning environment, Moodle.

The essential one is the session cookie, usually called MoodleSession. You must allow this cookie into your browser to provide continuity and maintain your login from page to page. When you log out or close the browser this cookie is destroyed (in your browser and on the server).

The other cookie is purely for convenience, usually called something like MOODLEID. It just remembers your username within the browser. This means when you return to this site the username field on the login page will be already filled out for you. It is safe to refuse this cookie – you will just have to retype your username every time you log in.

We use IP addresses only to diagnose problems with our server, to administer the smooth functioning of our site, to refer URL information and to log your browser type as part of our information collecting in order to improve school services.  None of the information can identify you personally.
