Technical cookies allow us to adapt our website to each visitor to give the most user friendly service possible and make it function correctly.
Functional cookies act to remember your preferences to save you time and effort on subsequent visits. For example they allow us to remember your language and currency preferences and the hotels and destinations you search for most.

They give us information about such things as how you reach and leave the website (which we use for marketing purposes), and how you interact with the website e.g. which pages you visit and for how long, and how you move around a page, where you click and scroll, what you search for etc. All of the information we gather with analytics cookies is anonymous – it doesn’t tell us who you are.
Commercial cookies let us create effectively targeted marketing campaigns on other websites (“retargeting campaigns”) By using these we make sure that we only show you adverts for accommodation and destinations you are likely to be interested in based on what you tend to search and book.
