2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can help a website to:

function correctly and securely
remember your choices and preferences
understand how visitors use the website
improve its content and performance
measure the effectiveness of advertising
provide content and features from other organisations

Some cookies last only while your browser is open. These are known as session cookies.

Other cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. These are known as persistent cookies.

Cookies set directly by us are known as first-party cookies. Cookies set by another organisation whose services are used on our website are known as third-party cookies.

3. Similar technologies

This policy also applies to technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including:

tracking pixels
tags and scripts
local storage
web beacons
device identifiers
conversion tracking
navigational tracking

In this policy, we refer to cookies and these related tools collectively as technologies.

4. How we use these technologies

Depending on the technologies currently enabled and the choices you make, we may use them for the purposes described below.

Strictly necessary technologies

These technologies are required for the website and services requested by you to work correctly.

They may be used to:

maintain the security of the website
prevent fraud and technical problems
operate forms, bookings and purchases
maintain a shopping basket or website session
remember your cookie choices
balance website traffic
provide accessibility and essential website functions

These technologies may be used without consent where a legal exemption applies.

You cannot disable strictly necessary technologies through our cookie settings because the website may not function correctly without them. You may be able to block them through your browser but doing so could prevent parts of the website from working.

Functional and preference technologies

These technologies remember choices you make so that we can provide features or present the website in the way you have requested.

They may remember:

display or language preferences
accessibility settings
location or content choices
information needed to provide a feature you have selected

Some functional technologies may be used without consent where a legal exemption applies. Where consent is required, they will remain disabled unless you choose to allow them.

Analytics and performance technologies

These technologies help us understand how visitors use the website and how well it performs.

They may collect information about:

pages visited and links selected
how visitors arrived at the website
time spent on pages
browser and device type
approximate location
technical errors and website performance
whether a visit or action followed a marketing campaign

We use this information to improve the website, its content and the visitor experience.

Where analytics technologies require consent, they will not be activated unless you choose to allow them.

Limited technologies used solely for statistical purposes may be used without consent where all the conditions of a legal exemption are met. Where required, we will provide clear information and a simple way to object.

Advertising and social media technologies

These technologies help us measure and improve our advertising and understand whether people interact with Doddington after seeing an advert.

They may be used to:

measure visits and actions resulting from advertising
understand whether a booking, purchase or enquiry followed an advert
create advertising audiences
limit how often an advert is shown
show advertising that may be more relevant
understand how people interact with social media content
measure the effectiveness of campaigns

Advertising and social media tracking technologies are not strictly necessary. They will not be activated unless you choose to allow them.

5. Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, provided by Google, to manage tags and scripts used on the website.

Google Tag Manager enables us to control when other services are loaded. The services deployed through Google Tag Manager are described in this policy and in our cookie settings panel.

Google Tag Manager is configured so that technologies requiring consent are not activated unless you have given the relevant consent.

6. Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, formerly known as the Facebook Pixel, to measure the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook and Instagram.

Where you consent to advertising technologies, the Meta Pixel may collect or receive information including:

the pages you visit
buttons or links you select
purchases, bookings, enquiries or other actions completed on the website
the date and time of your visit
the website or advert that referred you
your browser and device information
your internet protocol address
cookie and advertising identifiers

Meta may use this information to measure advertising, provide campaign reports, create audiences and show advertising that may be more relevant.

Meta may combine information received through the Meta Pixel with information it already holds about people who use its services. Meta is responsible for its own use of personal information in accordance with its privacy information.

The Meta Pixel and associated advertising technologies will not be activated unless you consent to advertising technologies.

You can withdraw your consent at any time through our cookie settings.

7. Embedded content and third-party services

Some pages may contain services or content provided by other organisations, including:

videos
maps
social media content
booking systems
payment services
forms
fraud prevention and security services

These organisations may store or access information on your device when their services are loaded or when you interact with them.

Where these technologies require consent, the relevant content or service will not be loaded until you make an appropriate choice.

When you follow a link to another website or use a separate booking or payment platform, that organisation’s own cookie and privacy policies will apply.

8. Technologies currently used

The current list of technologies used on the website is available through our cookie settings panel.

The panel provides information including:

the name of each technology
the organisation providing it
its purpose
its category
how long it remains on your device

This list may change as we develop the website or change the services we use.

We regularly review the website to identify the technologies in operation. Where we introduce a new technology or use an existing one for a different purpose, we will update the information provided and request fresh consent where required.

When you first visit the website, our cookie notice allows you to:

accept optional technologies
reject optional technologies
choose which categories to allow

Optional technologies are disabled by default unless a legal exemption applies.

Rejecting optional technologies will not prevent you from accessing the main content of the website. However, some optional functions, embedded content or personalised features may not be available.

We store your choice so that we do not need to ask you to make the same decision every time you visit.

We will normally ask you to review your choices again after six months. We may ask you sooner if:

we introduce a new technology
the purposes for which technologies are used change
the organisations receiving information change
legal requirements or regulatory guidance change

You can change your choices or withdraw consent at any time through the Cookie settings link on the website.

It is as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it.

Withdrawing consent will stop the relevant technologies from being used from that point onwards. We will ensure that technologies already set can be removed where technically possible and will notify relevant third parties where required.

You may need to delete some existing cookies through your browser settings.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any use that took place before consent was withdrawn.

11. Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies.

The steps required vary between browsers. You can usually find these controls within your browser’s privacy, security or site settings.

Blocking all cookies through your browser may affect how this and other websites function. Strictly necessary functions, forms, bookings or saved preferences may not work correctly.

Browser settings do not replace the choices available through our cookie settings panel.

12. Personal information and lawful bases

Some technologies collect information that identifies you directly or could identify you when combined with other information.

Where the use of technologies involves personal information, we process that information in accordance with UK data protection law.

Where consent is required to store information on or access information from your device, we will normally also rely on consent to process personal information collected through that technology.

Where a technology is legally exempt from the consent requirement, we may rely on another appropriate lawful basis, such as our legitimate interests or compliance with a legal obligation.

Further information about how we use personal information and your data protection rights is available in our Privacy Policy.

13. International transfers

Some third-party technology providers may process or store information outside the United Kingdom.

Where this involves a restricted transfer of personal information, an appropriate legal safeguard will be used. This may include UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections.

Further information about international transfers is available in our Privacy Policy. You can also contact us for information about the safeguards used for a particular service.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes to:

the website
the technologies or providers we use
how those technologies are configured
legal requirements or regulatory guidance

The latest version will be published on this page and the date at the top will be updated.

Where a change affects an existing consent choice, we will ask you to make a new choice where required.
