2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored on your computer, telephone or other device when you visit a website.
We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags and scripts. In this policy, these technologies are collectively referred to as “cookies”.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
3. How we use cookies
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required to:
- provide essential website functionality;
- maintain secure connections;
- protect forms against spam and misuse;
- remember your cookie choices;
- operate booking and availability features;
- maintain necessary website sessions.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot generally be disabled through our cookie settings because parts of the website may not function correctly without them.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies may remember your preferred website language, regional settings or other website preferences.
When these cookies are not essential to provide a service you requested, they are only activated after consent.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand:
- which pages are visited;
- how visitors reach the website;
- which devices and browsers are used;
- how visitors navigate between pages;
- whether website errors occur;
- how the website and booking journey can be improved.
Analytics cookies are only activated after consent.
Behavioural-analysis cookies
If Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity is enabled, behavioural cookies may be used for aggregated interaction analysis, heatmaps and session recordings.
These services are only activated after consent. We aim to suppress or exclude sensitive form fields from recordings.
Marketing cookies
If Google Ads or Meta Ads is active, marketing cookies may be used to:
- measure advertisement conversions;
- understand advertising effectiveness;
- build advertising audiences;
- show advertisements that may be more relevant;
- determine whether someone reached our website through an advertisement.
Marketing cookies are only activated after consent.

5. Current cookie list
The exact cookies, providers, purposes and retention periods may change when website plugins or third-party services are updated.
The live cookie list generated by our consent-management platform appears below:
[INSERT THE COOKIE TABLE GENERATED BY THE FINAL LIVE COOKIE SCAN HERE]
The cookie list should contain:
- the cookie or storage-key name;
- the provider;
- its purpose;
- its category;
- its expiry or retention period;
- whether it is a first-party or third-party cookie.
6. Google Tag Manager and Consent Mode
Google Tag Manager may be used to manage analytics and advertising tags. Tag Manager is a delivery mechanism; the type of processing depends on the tag loaded through it.
Non-essential Google tags are configured to remain disabled until you provide the corresponding consent.
7. Your cookie choices
On your first visit, our cookie banner allows you to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject all non-essential cookies;
- choose individual cookie categories.
Analytics, behavioural-analysis and marketing cookies remain disabled unless you consent.
You may change or withdraw your choices at any time by selecting the Cookie settings link in the website footer.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
8. Browser settings
You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Browser controls differ by browser and device.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website, booking system or forms from working correctly.
Deleting cookies through your browser does not always communicate your withdrawal to third-party services. We therefore recommend also using our Cookie settings control.
