What cookies are
Cookies are small files stored on your computer, telephone or other device when you visit a website.
Cookies may help a website:
- Work correctly
- Maintain a secure checkout
- Remember your choices
- Process an order
- Measure website use
- Load third-party services
Similar technologies may include local storage, tags, pixels and scripts.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for basic website functions and cannot normally be disabled through the cookie settings.
They may be used to:
- Keep the website secure
- Remember your cookie choices
- Maintain a checkout session
- Process an order
- Prevent duplicate submissions
- Complete a payment
- Display an order-confirmation page
WordPress, WooCommerce, Stripe and Bókun may use essential cookies to provide the service requested by the visitor.
Essential cookies generally do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary to provide the requested service.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies support additional website features, such as:
- Remembering preferences
- Loading interactive content
- Displaying an interactive Google Map
- Improving navigation
Where required, these features will only load after the visitor has permitted them.
Analytics cookies
We use or intend to use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.
Analytics information may include:
- Pages visited
- Visit duration
- General referral source
- Browser and device type
- Website interactions
- Approximate geographical information
We use this information to improve the website and identify technical problems.
Google Analytics should not load until the visitor has agreed to analytics cookies where consent is required.
Google Maps
We may use Google Maps to show tour starting points and meeting locations.
Loading an interactive Google Map may allow Google to:
- Receive your IP address
- Access or store cookies
- Receive browser or device information
- Learn that your device visited the page
The website may initially display a map placeholder or static image until the visitor chooses to load the interactive map.
WooCommerce and WordPress
WordPress and WooCommerce may use cookies for:
- Website administration
- Security
- Checkout operation
- Maintaining the purchase session
- Remembering order information
- Preventing duplicate orders
Essential checkout cookies may operate without optional analytics consent.
Stripe
Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies for:
- Processing payments
- Checkout security
- Authentication
- Fraud detection
- Preventing misuse
Some Stripe technologies are necessary to complete the payment requested by the customer.
Stripe’s own privacy and cookie information also applies when its services are used.
Bókun
Bókun or its connected providers may use cookies when its booking widget or checkout is loaded.
These may be used to:
- Display availability
- Maintain a booking session
- Process a booking
- Process payment
- Protect against fraud
The final cookie classification should be based on the technologies used by the completed Bókun setup.
Marketing cookies
We do not currently intend to use behavioural advertising or marketing cookies.
If marketing technologies are added later, this policy and the cookie-consent options must be updated before they are activated.
Managing cookie choices
Where consent is required, visitors should be given clear options such as:
- Accept all
- Reject optional cookies
- Manage preferences
Rejecting optional cookies should be as straightforward as accepting them.
Visitors should also be able to change their decision later through a cookie-settings link.
The ICO requires organisations to explain what non-essential cookies do and obtain valid prior consent unless an exception applies.
Browser controls
Most web browsers allow users to:
- Delete cookies
- Block cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Receive warnings before cookies are stored
- Restrict cookies for particular websites
Blocking essential cookies may prevent checkout or booking functions from working correctly.
Final cookie list
The exact names and durations of cookies depend on the final website configuration. Before publication, the website should be scanned and the following confirmed:
- Cookie-consent preference (Consent provider) — Necessary — remembers cookie choices
- WordPress session/security cookies — Necessary — security and website operation
- WooCommerce cookies — Necessary — checkout and order session
- Stripe cookies — Necessary — payment and fraud prevention
