Third parties may process information according to their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are normally deleted when you close your browser.

They may be used to maintain your session while you move between website or booking pages.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

They may be used to remember preferences, recognise a returning browser or record your cookie choices.

6. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation, security or delivery of a service specifically requested by you may be used without consent where permitted by law.

These can include cookies required to:

  • Keep the website secure;
  • Operate the booking process;
  • Maintain a shopping or booking session;
  • Process your cookie preferences;
  • Prevent fraud; or
  • Provide a setting or function specifically selected by you.

Non-essential cookies are not placed or activated until you have given your consent through our cookie banner or preference tool.

Non-essential cookies may include:

  • Analytics cookies;
  • Some functionality cookies;
  • Advertising cookies;
  • Social-media cookies; and
  • Other tracking technologies.

You can refuse non-essential cookies without losing access to the basic website and booking information.

7. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website and booking system to operate correctly and securely.

They may be used to:

  • Process availability searches;
  • Enable the booking and checkout process;
  • Protect website forms;
  • Prevent fraud or misuse;
  • Manage network traffic and security;
  • Record cookie-consent choices; and
  • Ensure that website pages load correctly.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through our cookie-preference tool because the website may not function correctly without them.

You can block them through your browser, but some parts of the website or booking process may then stop working.

Functional and Preference Cookies

These cookies help the website remember choices you make.

They may be used to remember:

  • Your selected language;
  • Your selected currency;
  • Your country or region;
  • Your accommodation search dates;
  • The number of guests;
  • Your selected location;
  • Information entered during the booking process; and
  • Other website-display preferences.

Some preference cookies may be necessary to provide a setting that you have specifically requested. Other functional cookies will only be used with consent where required.

Disabling these cookies may mean that you need to re-enter your preferences each time you visit.

Security cookies help protect the website, its forms and the booking process from:

  • Automated submissions;
  • Spam;
  • Fraud;
  • Malicious activity;
  • Unauthorised access; and
  • Other security threats.

Google reCAPTCHA or similar technology may be used to identify whether a form is being completed by a genuine person rather than an automated program.

These services may collect technical information such as IP address, browser information and user interactions.

Security technologies will be configured and used in accordance with applicable cookie and data-protection requirements.

Advertising and Social-Media Cookies

We do not intentionally use behavioural advertising cookies unless they are identified in our live cookie-preference tool.

  • Limit how frequently an advertisement is shown;
  • Create advertising audiences;
  • Show relevant advertisements;
  • Measure social-media campaigns; or
  • Enable content sharing through social-media platforms.

Accepting cookies is optional, except for cookies that are strictly necessary for the website or a service you have requested.

The option to reject non-essential cookies should be as easy to find and use as the option to accept them.

Closing or ignoring the cookie banner, continuing to browse or scrolling through the website does not by itself constitute consent to non-essential cookies.

10. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent

You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

To do this, use the Cookie Settings, Cookie Consent or similar link available in the website footer or cookie-preference tool.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookies used before consent was withdrawn.

Information processed may include:

  • IP address;
  • Browser and device information;
  • Date and time;

16. International Data Transfers

Some cookie and technology providers may process information outside France or the European Economic Area.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, the relevant provider should use an approved legal safeguard, such as:

  • A European Commission adequacy decision;
  • Standard contractual clauses; or
  • Another legally permitted transfer mechanism.

Further information is available in our Privacy Policy or from the relevant provider.

17. Cookie Retention and Consent Duration

Cookies are retained only for the period reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.
