1. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your device when you visit our website. Cookies allow us to recognise your device, remember your preferences and gather information about how the site is used. Similar technologies — such as pixels, tags and local storage — work in comparable ways, and this policy covers them too.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to:
- Keep the website secure and functioning correctly.
- Remember your settings and preferences, such as language and currency.
- Understand which pages are popular and how visitors move around the site.
- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing and, where permitted, personalise content.
3. Types Of Cookies We Use
| Category | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Required for the site to function — security, page navigation and reservation forms. These cannot be switched off. | Session to 12 months |
| Performance & analytics | Help us count visits and understand how guests use the site, so we can improve it. | Up to 24 months |
| Functionality | Remember choices you make, such as language, region and previously viewed properties. | Up to 12 months |
| Targeting & advertising | Used, only with your consent, to show relevant content and measure campaigns. | Up to 12 months |
4. First-Party And Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by us and used only by us. Third-party cookies are set by trusted partners — for example, analytics or payment providers — and may recognise your device across other websites. We only work with partners who meet our standards for privacy and security.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, delete existing cookies or be notified when a new cookie is set. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our website from working properly.
To manage cookies, look under "Settings", "Preferences" or "Privacy" in your browser. The following links may help:
- Google Chrome — Settings › Privacy and security › Cookies and other site data
- Apple Safari — Preferences › Privacy
- Mozilla Firefox — Settings › Privacy & Security
- Microsoft Edge — Settings › Cookies and site permissions
6. Consent
When you first visit our site, a banner invites you to accept or manage cookies. Non-essential cookies are only set after you give consent, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time by clearing your cookies or updating your preferences.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. There is currently no common industry standard for how to respond to it. We treat your choices made through our consent banner as authoritative, and we respect browser-based opt-outs where technically possible.
8. Changes To This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy occasionally to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in the law. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
