What Are Cookies

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this site uses cookies – tiny files that are downloaded to your computer or device – to improve your experience. This page explains what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We’ll also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored, although doing so may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.
For more general information on cookies, see the Wikipedia article on HTTP Cookies.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases there are no industry-standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site. We recommend that you leave on all cookies if you’re not sure whether you need them or not, in case they are used to provide a service you use.

Disabling Cookies

You can prevent the setting of cookies by adjusting your browser settings (see your browser’s Help section for how to do this). Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of this and many other websites you visit. Disabling cookies will usually also disable certain functionality and features of this site. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable cookies.

The Cookies We Set

In some cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. Examples include:
  • Account-related cookies
    If you create an account with us, we use cookies for the management of the signup process and general administration. These cookies are usually deleted when you log out, but in some cases they may remain afterwards to remember your site preferences.
  • Login-related cookies
    We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember this fact. This prevents you from needing to log in every single time you visit a new page. These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that only logged-in users can access restricted features and areas.
  • Order-processing cookies
    This site offers e-commerce or payment facilities, and some cookies are essential to ensure that your order is remembered between pages so we can process it properly.
  • Form-related cookies
    When you submit data through a form (such as those found on contact or booking pages), cookies may be set to remember your user details for future correspondence.
  • Preference cookies
    To provide you with a great experience on our site, we give you the ability to set preferences for how the site runs when you use it. We need to set cookies so that this information can be recalled whenever you interact with a page affected by your preferences.

Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. Examples include:

  • Google Analytics
    This site uses Google Analytics, one of the most widespread and trusted analytics solutions on the web, to help us understand how you use the site and how we can improve your experience. These cookies may track things like how long you spend on the site and the pages you visit.
    For more information, see the official Google Analytics page.
  • Testing and optimisation cookies
    From time to time we test new features and make subtle changes to the way the site is delivered. These cookies may be used to ensure you receive a consistent experience while we test, as well as to understand which optimisations our users appreciate most.
  • E-commerce tracking cookies
    As we sell products and services, it’s important to understand statistics about how many visitors to our site actually make a purchase. These cookies help us track that data so we can make better business decisions and offer the best possible prices.

More Information

Hopefully, this has clarified things for you. As mentioned earlier, if you’re not sure whether you need cookies or not, it’s usually safer to leave them enabled in case they interact with a feature you use on our site.
