For a multi-step check, keep one Cork IP with `USERNAME-country-ie-city-cork-session-cork1-ttl-10`. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier).

Across Ireland, most homes connect through Eir, Vodafone, Virgin Media and Sky Ireland. Eir: 28.0% of fixed broadband subscriptions in Q1 2026, per ComReg.

Read the ASN of your exit with an IP lookup, or keep the exit on one network with `-asn-` ([ASN guide](https://eurocityproxies.com/targeting/asn/)). ## Which rules apply to checks run from Cork? Ireland's supervisory authority is the Data Protection Commission (DPC). The framework is GDPR + Data Protection Act 2018. Consumer prices include VAT at 23% (standard rate), so a Cork visitor and a foreign visitor can see different totals on the same shop. For official local data, start with the city's own [Cork City Council Open Data](https://data.corkcity.ie/). Collect only what you need, respect each site's terms and robots.txt, and see our [GDPR checklist](https://eurocityproxies.com/guides/gdpr-checklist-proxy-data/).
