2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies can perform different functions. For example, they can help a website operate properly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website or support marketing activities.
The term “cookies” in this policy also includes certain similar technologies that store information on, or access information from, your device, such as tracking pixels, tags, scripts and certain forms of local storage.
UK rules relating to cookies and similar technologies are principally governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), alongside data protection legislation where personal information is involved.
3. How we use cookies
Depending on how you use our website, we may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly or to provide a service you have specifically requested.
They may help with things such as:
website security;
page functionality;
maintaining a session;
remembering necessary technical settings;
processing bookings or enquiries; and
remembering your cookie preferences.
These cookies generally do not require consent where they are genuinely strictly necessary for the service requested by the visitor.
We will not use the “strictly necessary” category simply because a cookie is useful to us. The ICO's guidance distinguishes between technologies that are essential to provide the requested service and those that are merely convenient or beneficial to the website operator.
Analytics and performance cookies
Where used, analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website.
For example, they may help us understand:
how many people visit our website;
which pages are visited;
how visitors navigate around the website;
how visitors found our website;
which pages or content are most useful; and
whether our website is performing correctly.
Analytics cookies are not automatically exempt from consent requirements simply because they are used for analytics. The ICO states that analytics cookies generally require consent because they are not strictly necessary for the visitor to access the website.
Marketing and advertising cookies
Where used, marketing cookies and similar technologies may help us understand the effectiveness of our advertising and marketing campaigns or allow third-party advertising platforms to measure interactions with our website.
These technologies may be provided by third parties, such as advertising or social media platforms.
We will seek appropriate consent before using non-essential marketing or advertising cookies where consent is required.
Functional cookies
These cookies may allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced functionality.
For example, they may remember certain preferences or settings.
Where a functional cookie is not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent before placing it on your device where required by law.
4. Your cookie choices
When you first visit our website, where required, you may be presented with a cookie consent mechanism that allows you to choose which non-essential cookies you wish to accept.
You should be able to:
accept non-essential cookies;
reject non-essential cookies; and
manage your cookie preferences.
Consent should involve a clear positive action. Simply continuing to browse a website does not, by itself, constitute valid consent for cookies that require consent.
You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Please be aware that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
5. Types of cookies we may use
The precise cookies used by our website may change as we add, remove or update website functionality.
Where applicable, our cookie consent mechanism should provide more detailed information about the cookies currently being used.

Where a third party places non-essential cookies or uses similar technologies on your device, appropriate consent will be obtained where required.
Third-party providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
We recommend reviewing the privacy information provided by any third-party service where you would like further information about how that provider processes personal information.
7. Cookies and personal information
Some cookies and similar technologies may collect information that can be associated with an individual or device.
Where this involves personal information, we will handle that information in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as applicable.

8. How long cookies remain on your device
Cookies may be either:
Session cookies – these are generally deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies – these remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
The length of time a particular cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and the provider responsible for it.
We aim to ensure that cookies and similar technologies are retained for no longer than reasonably necessary for their intended purpose.

You can generally:
