Cookie policy

What’s a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. It might remember something useful (like a choice you’ve made), or let a third party recognise your browser again later (which is how most online advertising works).

How we ask

The first time you visit, we ask before doing anything beyond what’s strictly necessary to run the site. You can accept all or reject all, and both options are given equal weight; we don’t hide “reject” behind a link or a second click. Nothing in the analytics or marketing categories below loads until you say yes to it.

Changing your mind later

Open Cookie settings in the footer of any page, any time, to see or change what you’ve chosen. Rejecting a category you’d previously accepted removes the cookies that category had set, not just the record of your new choice.

The cookies themselves

The table below is generated from what’s actually switched on for this site right now — if a service isn’t in use, it isn’t listed, rather than us listing something that might apply “in general”.

Cookies we don’t control

This site is hosted behind Cloudflare, which also sets a small number of its own cookies for security and performance reasons that aren’t specific to this site (see the “Necessary” row above).

The maps on our home page and contact page are embedded from Google Maps, and Google sets its own cookies once a map loads. That is why a map doesn’t load on its own: until you press Load the map, or accept cookies, nothing is requested from Google. If you’d rather not, the address is written out on the page and there’s a plain link that opens the map in a new tab instead.

Booking requests and messages are sent through forms on this site itself, so no booking or form provider’s cookies are involved.

Controlling cookies in your browser

Beyond the choices above, every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies yourself, and most let you do it per website. Blocking cookies entirely may stop parts of this site working properly — the cookie consent choice itself relies on one. See your browser’s own help pages for how (search “[your browser] block cookies”).
