Use and collection of personal information
In general you can visit our website without telling us who you are and without revealing any information about yourself. If, however, you place a booking through our site you will need to provide certain information such as your contact details. We will store this data and hold it on computer or otherwise.
We may use information that you provide:
- To register you with our website and to administer it.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

We use Google Analytics to understand customer behaviour on our websites. Some features we've implemented are based on Display Advertising (e.g., Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, or Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting).
Using the Ads Settings, you can opt-out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising and customize Google Display Network ads.
We also use data from Google Interest-based advertising or 3rd-party audience data (such as age, sex and interests) to help us better understand our audience and to improve our offering.
We also encourage you to view Google Analytics' currently available opt-outs for the web.
Cookies
We collect information directly from you in a number of ways. One way is through our use of 'cookies'. Most websites use cookies in order to make them work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. They help us to understand how our customers and potential customers use our website so we can develop and improve the design, layout, content and function of the site. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer's hard drive by websites that you visit. They save and retrieve pieces of information about your visit to the website - for example, how you entered the site, how you navigated through the site and what information and documentation was of interest to you. This means that when you go back to a website, it can give you tailored options based on the information it has stored about you on your last visit.
