2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to site owners.

We also use similar technologies such as pixels, tags and local storage. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies”.

Cookies can be:

• First-party cookies – set by our website.

• Third-party cookies – set by another domain (for example, analytics providers, booking platforms, social media services).

3. How we use cookies

We use cookies on our website for the following purposes:

a. Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and for you to move around and use its features, such as accessing secure areas or loading core page content.

They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as submitting forms or setting your privacy preferences.

Without these cookies, some parts of the website will not function properly.

These cookies do not require your consent under UK law, but you can still block them in your browser (the site may then not work correctly).

b. Performance / analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website (for example, which pages are visited most often, how users move around the site, approximate location by city/country).

We use this information to improve how our website works and to help ensure it is performing correctly.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party analytics providers (for example, web analytics services).

c. Functionality cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalised features.

They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as remembering your newsletter preferences.

d. Advertising / targeting cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver adverts that are more relevant to you and your interests, and to limit how often you see an advertisement.

They may be set through our website by advertising networks or social media platforms we work with.

They can track your browsing activity across other websites and build a profile of your interests.

e. Social media cookies

Our website may include content and features from third-party social media platforms (such as Instagram) – for example, embedded feeds or share buttons.

These platforms may set cookies through our website to understand whether you are logged in, to link your activity on our site with your social media account, and for their own analytics and advertising purposes.

4. Cookies used in connection with our services

Depending on how you use our website, cookies may be set in connection with:

• Online reservations

If you choose to make a booking, you may be redirected to OpenTable (or another reservation provider). That provider uses its own cookies and tracking technologies as described in its own cookie and privacy policies.

• Gift vouchers

If you purchase a gift voucher, you may be redirected to a third-party voucher platform. That platform will use cookies in line with its own policies.

• Newsletter sign-up

When you sign up for our newsletter, we may use cookies to help manage sign-up forms, track email campaign performance and understand whether you have opened or clicked on our emails (via our email marketing provider).

• Embedded content and social media

Where our pages display content from Instagram or other platforms, those providers may set their own cookies when the content is loaded or when you interact with it.

We do not have control over cookies set by third-party services. Please check the relevant third party’s website for more information about their use of cookies.

5. Legal basis for using cookies

For strictly necessary cookies, our legal basis is our legitimate interests in operating a functional, secure website.

For all other cookies (such as analytics, functionality and advertising cookies), our legal basis is your consent, which we obtain through the cookie banner or preference centre shown when you first visit our website.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings as described below.

6. Managing cookies

You have several options to control or limit how cookies are used on your device:

a. Cookie banner / preference centre

When you first visit our website, you will see a banner or pop-up asking you to consent to non-essential cookies.

You can typically choose to:

• “Accept all” cookies, or

• “Reject non-essential” cookies, or

• “Manage preferences” to select which categories you allow.

You can change your preferences at any time by [insert description, e.g. clicking the “Cookie settings” link in the footer].

Most web browsers allow you to:

• See which cookies are stored on your device;

• Block all cookies;

• Clear all cookies when you close your browser.

If you choose to block all cookies (including essential cookies), our website may not function properly.
