1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as the form-step you reached, or whether you have dismissed a notice) over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site.
Some cookies are essential for the website to work; others help us understand how the site is being used so we can improve it.
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly-necessary cookies (always on)
These cookies make the website work. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They include cookies that:
- Maintain your booking-form state between steps
- Remember your cookie-consent choices
- Provide security features that detect abusive activity
Analytics cookies (only with consent)
We may use lightweight, privacy-friendly analytics (such as Plausible or a similar GDPR-friendly tool) to understand which pages are visited, how long visitors spend, and which routes lead to bookings. These cookies do not identify you personally and are only enabled if you accept analytics in our cookie banner.
Third-party content
Our coverage map is rendered using OpenStreetMap tiles delivered via CARTO. CARTO may set its own cookies when serving map tiles. We do not control those cookies; see CARTO's privacy policy for details. The site does not load Google Maps, Google Analytics or Facebook pixel scripts at the time of writing.
3. How to manage cookies
You can control non-essential cookies in two ways:
- Via the cookie banner shown on your first visit to our site, where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies
- Via your browser settings — every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly-necessary cookies will stop the booking form working correctly
For browser-specific instructions visit aboutcookies.org or your browser's help pages.
4. Do-Not-Track
Our website honours the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where your browser sends it. When GPC is on, we treat the visit as if you have rejected non-essential cookies.
5. Changes to this policy
We update this policy whenever we change the cookies or third-party tools used on the site. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.
