Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Our website, campsitebookingsystem.uk, uses cookies and similar technologies (in this policy we call them all "cookies"). Some are placed by Campsite Booking System and some by third parties we work with. This policy explains:

• what cookies, scripts and web beacons are;
• which cookies we use, who places them and why;
• how long they are kept;
• how you can give, change or withdraw your consent;
• your rights and how to contact us.

2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that a website stores on your device. It lets the website remember information about your visit. Cookies come in a few kinds:

• Session cookies – deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies – stay until they expire or you delete them.
• First-party cookies – set by this website.
• Third-party cookies – set by other services whose content appears on our pages, such as maps or videos.
• Local and session storage – similar storage in your browser, which we treat in the same way as cookies.

3. What are scripts and web beacons?

• Scripts – pieces of program code that make our website work properly and interactively. They run on our server or on your device.
• Web beacons – small, invisible images (also called pixels) used to measure visits. Some store information on your device in the same way as cookies.

Scripts and web beacons that are not needed for the website to work are blocked until you give consent, in the same way as cookies.
