Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. Some sites also keep small notes in the browser's own storage. This page lists every one our site uses, what it is for and how to turn it off.
What runs on our site

Cookie lifetimes for Google and Meta are those companies' standard settings.
How to turn them off
- Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking them does not stop the site working, except that a booking may not show which ad brought you.
- Google Analytics: Google offers a browser add-on to opt out (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
- Meta ads: change your ad settings in your Facebook or Instagram account.
