1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to website owners. 

Cookies can be: 

  • Session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or 
  • Persistent cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. 

We also use similar technologies such as pixels and tags that perform comparable functions. 
 

2. HOW WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies and similar technologies to: 

  • Make our website function properly and securely; 
  • Enable bookings, payments, and enquiry forms; 
  • Understand how visitors use our site and improve user experience; 
  • Measure and improve the performance of our advertising campaigns; 
  • Remember your preferences (such as region or cookie choices). 

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive financial information such as full card details. Payments made through our website are handled securely by our protected payment gateway, which meets international PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance requirements. 
 

3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

  • Strictly necessary cookies: 
    These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, booking forms, and secure payment processing. Without them, the site cannot operate properly. 
    Examples include the GoodLayers booking system, cookie consent tool, server session cookies, and Protected Payment Gateway (PPS). 
    Consent is not required, as these cookies are used under our legitimate interest to ensure essential website functionality. 
  • Performance and analytics cookies: 
    These cookies collect anonymous data about how visitors use our website, helping us understand performance and make improvements. 
    We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for this purpose. 
    Consent is required before these cookies are loaded. 
  • Functional cookies: 
    Functional cookies remember your preferences, such as language, region, and cookie settings, to improve your browsing experience. 
    These are set by the GoodLayers site preferences tool. 
    Consent is required for these cookies. 
  • Advertising and marketing cookies: 
    These cookies track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and enable relevant marketing across other platforms. 
    Examples include the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and TikTok Pixel. 
    Consent is required before these cookies are activated. 
  • Email and campaign tracking cookies: 
    These cookies measure interactions with our email newsletters and campaigns, helping us assess engagement and improve communications. 
    We use Mailchimp for this purpose. 
    Consent is required for these cookies. 
  • Social media cookies: 
    Social media cookies allow integration with or sharing of content through platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. They may collect data to personalise your social media experience. 
    Consent is required before they are loaded. 

4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Some cookies on our website are set by third parties. These include analytics, marketing, and payment tools that help us measure performance and deliver services securely. 

Third-party providers may include: 

  • Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) – website analytics (data may be processed in the United States under the UK–US Data Bridge). 
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook / Instagram) – ad tracking and performance. 
  • TikTok Technology Ltd – marketing analytics and remarketing. 
  • Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.) – email campaign tracking and performance analysis. 
  • Protected Payment Gateway (PPS) – processes card or bank payments securely and sets necessary cookies for fraud prevention and session management. PPS providers operate under PCI DSS certification and do not store full card details on our systems. 

We ensure that where these providers process data outside the UK, appropriate safeguards such as the UK–US Data Bridge or Standard Contractual Clauses are in place.
