Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 2026
At a glance
Our websites use a small number of cookies: those essential for the site and our booking system to work, and — only with your consent — cookies that help us understand how the site is used. You can change your mind at any time.
01
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your actions and preferences — such as a booking session in progress — so you don’t have to re-enter information as you move between pages. Similar technologies, such as local storage and pixels, work in comparable ways, and this policy covers those too.
02
The cookies we use
Essential cookies
These are required for the website and our booking and enquiry systems to function — maintaining your session, remembering your availability search, and keeping the site secure. They cannot be switched off, because the site does not work without them.
Analytics cookies
With your consent, these help us understand how visitors use our site — which pages are read, how people arrive, and where they encounter difficulty — so we can improve the experience. The information is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
Third-party cookies
Some services embedded in our site set their own cookies — our reservation system (ResRequest) when you check availability or make a booking, HubSpot, which we use to manage enquiries, our payment providers when you pay, and embedded content such as maps or video where present.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| wordpress_test_cookie | WordPress | Checks whether your browser accepts cookies | Essential | Session |
| comment_author_* comment_author_email_* comment_author_url_* |
WordPress | Remembers your details if you comment on our Journal, so you don’t re-enter them | Functional | ~1 year |
| Booking session storage | ResRequest | Maintains your availability search and booking session in the enquiry widget | Essential | Session |
| __hstc, hubspotutk | HubSpot | Visitor identification and analytics linked to our enquiry management system | Analytics | 13 months |
| __hssc, __hssrc | HubSpot | Session tracking for HubSpot analytics | Analytics | 30 min / Session |
03
Your consent
When you first visit our site, we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie settings link in the site footer, and your choice will be remembered for future visits.
04
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also control cookies through your browser — blocking them, deleting those already set, or being alerted before they are placed. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site, particularly the availability and booking system, from working. Instructions for the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Safari
- Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
