Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember preferences, and provide information about how the site is being used.

We also use similar technologies (like pixels and tags) that can collect information about your visit and activity.

​

3. How we currently use cookies

At the moment, our website uses cookies and tracking technologies that may run by default when you visit the site. This includes cookies for:

• Essential site functionality (needed for the website to work properly)

• Analytics and performance (to understand how visitors use the site and improve it)

• Marketing and advertising (to measure ads and show relevant ads to people who have visited our website)

​

4. Types of cookies and tracking we use

A) Essential cookies

These are used to make the website work and to provide core features such as:

• Security and fraud prevention

• Load balancing and performance

• Saving basic site preferences

• Enabling forms, bookings, and checkout features (where relevant)

These cookies are generally required for the site to function.

​

B) Analytics cookies

We use analytics tools to understand how people use our site, for example:

• How long visitors stay

• What links are clicked

• Where visitors came from (for example Google search or social media)

​

Tools we use:

These analytics cookies help us improve our content, layout, and site performance.

C) Marketing and advertising cookies

We use marketing cookies and similar tech to measure advertising results and support retargeting.

​

Tools we use:

​

These may:

This is sometimes called retargeting.
