Cookie information

What cookies are

Cookies are small text records stored by a website in your browser. They can remember a secure session, help a form work, retain a preference, measure use or support advertising. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software-development-kit identifiers. The purpose of a technology, rather than its name, determines whether it is essential or optional.

Our current position

This public website currently uses only first-party cookies that are strictly necessary to maintain a secure session and protect forms. We do not currently activate analytics, advertising, behavioural profiling or social-media tracking cookies on public pages. Because these essential cookies are needed to provide a secure service requested by you, they are not controlled by an optional marketing-consent switch.

An Instagram or other social link is a normal external link, not an embedded tracking feed. The third party may set its own cookies after you choose to leave this website; its notice then applies.

Cookies currently in use

The table below is generated from this deployment’s current session configuration. Both cookies are first-party and strictly necessary. Their values are random security/session tokens and are not used to build an advertising profile.

Why we use essential cookies

The session cookie lets the server associate consecutive requests safely, including form validation and status messages. The cross-site request-forgery token helps verify that a form submission originated from a page issued by this website. These uses support website security, fraud prevention and the enquiry service you request.

Your browser controls

You can inspect, delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent enquiry forms, security validation and some navigation feedback from working correctly. Closing the browser does not necessarily remove a time-limited cookie immediately; the browser normally removes it when its stated duration expires or when you delete it.

Browser controls vary. Use the help documentation for your browser or device rather than relying on instructions that may become outdated.

Local storage and other trackers

The public website does not currently use local storage, advertising pixels, fingerprinting or third-party analytics for guest tracking. Server security logs may record limited request information independently of browser cookies, as described in the Privacy notice.

Future optional cookies

If analytics, advertising, embedded social media, personalisation, online booking or another non-essential technology is introduced, we will first assess it, update this notice and provide an appropriate consent control before optional cookies run where consent is required. Refusing an optional category will not prevent access to core public information or the basic enquiry service.

Changes and contact

We review this information when website technology changes and at least annually. The version and publication date above identify the current notice. Contact the hotel if you have a question about a cookie or believe the deployed website behaves differently from this description.
