2. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer, phone or other device when you visit. Cookies let a site recognise your device, remember your actions and preferences, and understand how the site is being used.
We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, web beacons and local storage. In this policy we refer to all of these as “cookies”.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or
- Persistent cookies, which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
They may also be first-party cookies (set by us) or third-party cookies (set by another organisation whose content or tools appear on our Site, such as Google or Meta).
3. Your consent
We set strictly necessary cookies automatically, because the Site cannot work properly without them. These do not require your consent.
For all other cookies — functionality, analytics and advertising — we ask for your consent before we set them. When you first visit the Site, our cookie banner lets you:
- Accept all non-essential cookies;
- Reject all non-essential cookies (this is as easy as accepting); or
- Manage your preferences and choose which categories you allow.
We do not set non-essential cookies until you have given your consent. Leaving the banner open, scrolling or continuing to browse does not count as consent.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time — see section 6.
4. The categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are required for the Site to function and to keep it secure. They do things like remember items in a booking or enquiry process, keep you logged in to an account area, manage page navigation and record your cookie choices. The Site cannot be provided without them, so they are always on.
Functionality cookies
These remember choices you make to give you a better experience — for example your region or display preferences — so you do not have to set them again on each visit. We use these only with your consent.
Analytics and performance cookies
These help us understand how visitors find and use the Site, such as which pages are most visited and whether visitors find what they need. We use this information, on an aggregated and de-identified basis, to improve the Site. We use these only with your consent.
Advertising and targeting cookies
These are set by us and by our advertising partners to measure the performance of our campaigns and to show you content and advertising that is relevant to you on other platforms, such as social media. We use these only with your consent.
5. The cookies we use
The table below lists the main cookies in use on the Site at the date of this policy. Cookie names and providers can change over time, and third parties may update their own cookies. We review this list periodically.

Where we embed third-party content such as videos or maps, those providers may set their own cookies when the content loads. We load this content only after you have given consent for the relevant category, or we provide a placeholder until you choose to load it.
6. How to manage or withdraw consent
On our Site. You can reopen the cookie settings and change your choices at any time using the cookie preferences link on the Site. Turning a category off withdraws your consent for those cookies going forward.
In your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. If you block all cookies, some parts of the Site may not work properly. Guidance for common browsers is available from the browser provider.
Google Analytics. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google’s browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything done before you withdrew it.
