1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function properly, remember your preferences, and give us insight into how visitors move through the pages. Some cookies are essential for the site to work, while others help us improve the experience or understand what’s working and what’s not.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to keep the website running smoothly and to understand how it’s being used. This includes basic functionality, performance tracking, and, if enabled, marketing efforts that help us reach people who may be interested in staying with us. The goal is not to collect unnecessary data, but to make the experience feel seamless and intentional.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Some cookies are essential. These allow the website to function as expected, such as maintaining login sessions or supporting security features. Without them, certain parts of the site may not work properly.

Because the site runs on WordPress, it also uses standard system cookies that remember things like login status or display preferences. These are typical for any WordPress-powered site and do not store sensitive personal information.

We may also use analytics cookies through services such as Google Analytics. These help us understand how visitors interact with the site, including which pages are viewed and how long people stay. The information is aggregated and used to improve the structure, content, and overall experience.

If advertising is introduced, cookies from platforms like Google Ads and Meta Platforms may be used. These allow us to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and show more relevant content to people who have already shown interest in the site.

Some cookies may also come from third-party services embedded within the site. For example, when you proceed to book a stay, you are redirected to Little Hotelier, which operates under its own systems and policies.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies entirely, though doing so may affect how the site functions.

If advertising cookies are active, you can also manage your preferences through tools such as:
https://adssettings.google.com
https://www.youronlinechoices.com

5. Cookie Consent

When you first visit the website, you may be presented with a cookie banner. This allows you to choose which types of cookies you are comfortable with. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or adjust your preferences. These settings can typically be updated at any time.

6. Data Collected Through Cookies

Cookies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device details, and how you interact with the site. This data helps us understand patterns and improve the experience, and is handled in line with our Privacy Policy.

7. Updates

This policy may be updated as the website evolves or as regulations change. Any updates will be reflected here with a revised date.
