Cookie Policy

Last updated: 11th October 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Luxury Spa Retreats (“we”, “our”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website to enhance your browsing experience, improve performance, and analyse traffic.

By continuing to browse or use this website, you agree to our use of cookies as described below.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or device when you visit a website. They help the site recognise your device, remember your preferences, and improve functionality.

Cookies can be:

  • Session cookies – temporary and deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies – remain on your device for a set period or until deleted manually.
  • First-party cookies – set by our website directly.
  • Third-party cookies – set by other websites or tools (e.g. analytics, social media platforms, embedded videos).

2. How We Use Cookies

Luxury Spa Retreats uses cookies for the following purposes:

a) Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly — for example:

  • Remembering your cookie consent preferences.
  • Enabling core navigation and page loading.
  • Maintaining security and performance.

You cannot disable these cookies through our cookie banner, as they are essential for basic site operation.

b) Analytics and Performance Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website so we can improve user experience and content.
These may include tools such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or equivalent privacy-compliant tracking services.

They help us measure:

  • Page views and visitor counts
  • Time spent on pages
  • Referral sources (e.g. search engines, social media, partner sites)
  • Device and location trends (non-identifiable)

All data collected is anonymised and used only for aggregate reporting.
You can opt out of these cookies via our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

c) Marketing and Affiliate Cookies

Some cookies are placed by our affiliate partners or marketing platforms.
These track when you click on an affiliate link or partner referral link, so we can measure performance and earn commission where applicable.

These cookies do not store personal information that directly identifies you.
They only record that your browser visited our site and later made a related booking or enquiry through a partner site.

d) Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences, such as:

  • Language or region settings
  • Whether you’ve previously interacted with a popup or banner
  • Custom display or layout preferences

These help us make your browsing experience smoother and more relevant.

e) Social Media and Embedded Content

We may embed videos, posts, or widgets from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, or LinkedIn.
These services may set their own cookies for analytics, advertising, or tracking engagement with their embedded content.

Luxury Spa Retreats does not control these cookies and recommends reviewing each platform’s own privacy policy for details.

3. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our site, you will see a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept, reject, or customise your cookie preferences.

You can update your preferences at any time by:

  • Clicking “Cookie Settings” (usually found in the site footer), or
  • Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies.

How to disable cookies in your browser:

Please note: disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of our website.

4. Third-Party Cookies

We may use third-party services that place cookies on your device to provide analytics, video hosting, or marketing integrations.
These third parties include (but may not be limited to):

  • Google (Analytics, Tag Manager, YouTube)
  • Meta (Facebook, Instagram Pixel)
  • LinkedIn (Insight Tag)
  • Affiliate or advertising partners

We ensure all third-party providers comply with UK GDPR and relevant privacy safeguards.
