Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use: essential cookies/storage (for example to remember your cookie choice); analytics cookies (to measure traffic, if enabled); and advertising and affiliate cookies (to show ads and track referrals). When you first visit, you can choose “Accept all” or “Essential only”. You can change your choice at any time using “Cookie settings” in the footer, and you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Advertising (Google AdSense) and third-party vendors
We may use third-party vendors, including Google, to show ads on the Site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.
- To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Where required (for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), ads are only personalised and non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.
Affiliate links
Some links on the Site are affiliate links. When you click one, the partner may set a cookie so that a booking or purchase can be credited to us. We do not receive your payment details. See our affiliate & advertising disclosure.
Analytics
If enabled, we use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. These tools collect usage data via cookies. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information with service providers that help us run the Site (hosting, analytics, email), with advertising and affiliate partners as described above, and where required by law.
