Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies are, how Settlestead uses them on this website, and how you can manage your preferences at any time.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work properly and to provide useful information to website owners.

Cookies cannot run programmes or carry viruses. They simply hold a small amount of data — often an anonymous identifier — that helps the website remember information about your visit.

Some cookies are set directly by Settlestead (first-party cookies). Others are set by third-party services we use, such as analytics tools, and those cookies are governed by the third party's own privacy policies.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always Active

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, security, and the display of our booking enquiry form. Without them, the site cannot work correctly.

  • cookieConsent — stores your cookie preference (localStorage, no expiry)
  • session_id — maintains your session while browsing (session, deleted on close)

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages are viewed most, where visitors come from, and how long they spend on the site. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

  • _ga — Google Analytics visitor identifier (2 years)
  • _ga_* — Google Analytics session state (2 years)
  • _gid — Google Analytics daily visitor ID (24 hours)

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. They may be set by advertising networks with our permission.

  • _fbp — Facebook Pixel tracking (90 days)
  • _uetsid — Microsoft Bing ads tracking (1 day)

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make on the website — such as your preferred language or region — so we can provide a more personalised experience on your next visit.

  • lang_pref — stores language preference (1 year)

Cookie Duration

Session cookies are temporary. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used for things like maintaining your session as you move between pages.

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences or to recognise you on a return visit. The duration varies by cookie — from 24 hours to 2 years — and is noted in the table above.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this website are placed by third-party services. These services have their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

We do not sell your data to any third party and do not allow third-party advertising networks to use your data beyond what is described above.
