• Help us improve our website by noting any errors that happen
• Cookies we have defined as ‘performance’ cookies will NOT be used to:
• Gather information that could be used to advertise products or services to you on other websites

Targeting

‘Targeting’ cookies are linked to services provided by third parties, such as ‘Like’ buttons and ‘Share’ buttons. The third party provides these services in return for recognising that you have visited our website.

We use 'targeting' cookies to:

• Link to social networks like Facebook, who may subsequently use information about your visit to target advertising to you on other websites
• Measure the effectiveness of online marketing campaigns so we can bring you the most relevant holiday offers possible and limit the number of times an ad is shown to you.

PLEASE NOTE: if you choose to use this Site without declining any non-essential cookies, then your use will constitute implied consent to the non-essential cookies that are set.
