Types of cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for core website functions and cannot usually be switched off through the website without affecting functionality. They may be used to remember cookie preferences, support security, help load key website features, and maintain the stable operation of embedded or connected tools used on the website.
Analytics and performance cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, how users move through the site, and whether content performs as expected. This information helps us improve website structure, content, speed, and user experience. We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics for these purposes.
Functionality cookies
These cookies help the website remember certain preferences or support enhanced features. They may also be used by consent-related tools or third-party services that support how content, widgets, embedded features, or connected tools operate on the website.
Advertising and targeting cookies
These cookies may be used by us or by third-party partners to deliver, personalise, limit repetition of, or measure advertising. They may also support affiliate links, booking-related tools, sponsored content features, and the effectiveness of advertising or referral activity. These cookies may be set through advertising technologies and third-party services used on the website, including providers connected with Mediavine and other advertising, affiliate, or booking-related partners.
Third-party cookies and similar technologies
Some cookies and similar technologies used on the website are placed by third-party services that we use to operate, analyse, monetise, or improve the website. These may include analytics providers, advertising partners, consent management tools, affiliate networks, and booking-related service providers.
For example, the website may use or interact with services such as Google Analytics, Mediavine, Stay22, TravelPayOuts, Amazon Affiliates, and other advertising, analytics, affiliate, or booking-related partners. These third parties may set cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies.
The website may also use cookies and similar technologies connected with analytics, consent management, advertising delivery and measurement, and affiliate or booking-related tools. These may be placed on different pages of the website depending on the content, tools, and third-party services active on that page.
We do not control every third-party cookie directly. Where relevant, you should also review the privacy and cookie information provided by those third parties.
Cookie consent preferences
When you first visit the website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or preference tool that allows you to accept, reject, or manage certain categories of cookies. The website currently uses consentmanager.net as its consent management platform for this purpose.
Consent-related cookies may be used to remember the choices you make about cookies and similar technologies. You can usually revisit and adjust your preferences at a later time through the cookie settings or consent tools made available on the website.
Please note that your cookie preferences may apply only to the browser and device you used to make those choices, so you may need to review your settings again if you access the website from a different browser or device.
Advertising, affiliate, and booking-related technologies
The website is supported in part through advertising, affiliate marketing, and related referral or booking tools. As a result, some cookies and similar technologies may be used to help display advertising, measure advertising performance, track referrals, support booking-related tools, and improve how third-party content and offers are presented on the website.
Some of these technologies may be provided through or connected with advertising partners such as Mediavine and other third-party providers involved in analytics, advertising, affiliate marketing, or travel-related referrals and bookings.
Further information about affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and related disclosures may also be set out in our Disclaimer.
Blocking cookies does not necessarily mean that you will no longer see advertisements. In some cases, you may still see non-personalised advertising.

The cookies, technologies, and third-party services used on the website may change over time as the website develops and as providers update their tools. We may therefore update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies and similar technologies used on the website.
