Cookie Policy

Introduction

 

We use a variety of different technologies on our website, including (but not limited to) cookies, scripts, fonts and images. Some of these are required for us to deliver a website to you. Other technologies are used to enhance our understanding of how you use our website or to assist in our marketing activities.

 

The purpose of this privacy policy is to explain how we use such technologies, and how we work with third parties and provide you with clear information about what they do. It will also explain how you can control your online preferences on our website.

 

What is a website cookie?

 

A Website cookie is a data code that's sent from a website and stored on a user's web browser that can be retrieved at a later time (until expired or cache is cleared). This code is sent back to the Website server each time the user's browser requests a page from the Website.

 

Cookies are set by our web server, your browser and the web servers of the third parties whose cookies we deploy on our website. They can be read, updated, or deleted by these servers each time you visit our website, depending on the type of cookie.

 

A cookie can consist of “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies. A persistent cookie is stored on a user's browser and will remain active until its set expiration date unless it's deleted through a cleared cache. A session cookie is set to expire at the end of a user's session, which is defined when a user closes their browser.

 

Cookies should not contain any information that will identify you as a user but personal data that we do gather and store about you may be linked to the data obtained from cookies.

 

We use website cookies for computer recognition when a user visits the website, track the user's website journey, enable the booking form system, improve website usability, analyse website user experience, prevent fraud and security issues, personalise the web experience, improve marketing and advertising activity, update personal data and any other possible use. Because of this, we require your consent before they can be accessed or stored on your device. For this reason, we restricted the use of cookies as explained below.

 

How we classify our cookies

 

Cookies and the technology that uses them vary significantly between websites, so it’s important that you understand how we classify the cookies we use on our site. Learn more about these below, and how you can control their use.

 

Essential cookies
 

These cookies are essential for a website to function and cannot be turned off. They are usually set in response to a request for services by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

 

Website tracking cookies
 

Website tracking cookies allow us to count website visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors navigate around the site. The information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.

 

Functional cookies
 

Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They are set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all these services may not function properly.

 

Targeting cookies
 

Targeting cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

 

Cookie preferences

 

We use cookies to detect and store your cookie preferences. However, if you remove this cookie when you clear your cookie cache, we will be required to ask you to update your preferences again. We will also periodically ask you to reconfirm your cookie preferences with us.

 

Cookies are set at a device level. This means we will ask you to set your preferences if you visit our website from a different device. If you want to restrict or block the cookies on our site, you can do this at any time through your cookies preference centre by selecting the ‘Manage preferences’ button below. If you decide to update your preferences at any time, please ensure that cookies are deleted from your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device by clearing your cookie cache. Browser-specific guidance can be found in the 'Further reading' section below.
