This policy explains the cookies and similar browser storage this website uses, under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What this website sets

This website does not set any cookies of its own.

Strictly necessary

• ws_analytics_consent (local storage): remembers whether you accepted or declined, so the banner does not reappear on every page. It stays until you clear your browser data.
• Booking calendar: anything the Hospitable booking calendar needs in order to show availability and take your booking.

Only if you press Accept

• ws_session_id and ws_utm (session storage): a random visit identifier and the campaign tag of the link you arrived from, used for our own anonymous page statistics. They contain no personal details and are deleted when you close the tab. If you decline, or have not chosen yet, neither is stored.

Our page statistics are provided by Plausible Analytics, which is cookieless and does not identify you.

Optional analytics cookies

Google Analytics, which sets cookies, would only ever load after you press Accept on the cookie banner. It is not switched on at present, so no Google Analytics cookies are set whichever choice you make. If you decline, nothing changes on the site.

Third-party content

The booking calendar on the home page is provided by our booking platform, Hospitable, and may set its own cookies when you use it. Links to Airbnb take you to Airbnb's own website, which has its own cookie policy.

Changing your choice

To change your choice, clear this site's data in your browser settings and the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit. You can also block cookies and storage entirely in your browser, and the site will still work.
