This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how BarleyBottom Travel ("we", "us") uses them on our website, and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to provide information to the site owner, and to improve user experience. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us) or "third-party" (set by another domain, such as an analytics provider).
Cookies may be stored for a single session (session cookies) or for a longer period (persistent cookies). They typically contain a unique identifier and sometimes other data such as site preferences or login state.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and remembering your cookie consent choice. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they generally cannot be switched off in our systems.
Examples: session identifier, consent flag, load-balancing.
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or region) and to provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
Examples: language preference, form auto-fill preferences.
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously (or in aggregated form). This helps us improve the way our website works and the content we offer.
Examples: number of visitors, pages visited, time on site, bounce rate. We may use services such as Google Analytics; you can learn about their cookies and opt-out options on their respective websites.
These cookies may be set through our site by advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and to show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store direct personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device.
If we use such cookies, we will only do so with your consent where required by law. You can withdraw consent at any time via our cookie banner or browser settings.
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (e.g. from a few days to several years) or until you delete them. The lifespan of each cookie depends on its purpose; we do not keep non-essential cookies longer than necessary.
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. When you first visit our site, you may see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time by clearing cookies for our site or adjusting your browser settings.
Browser settings: Most browsers let you refuse or accept cookies, or delete existing cookies. How you do this depends on your browser; typically you can find options under "Settings", "Privacy", or "Cookies". Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our and other websites.
Third-party opt-outs: For analytics or advertising cookies placed by third parties, you can often opt out via the provider's own tools (e.g. Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on) or industry tools (e.g. Your Online Choices / EDAA).
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page and, where appropriate, notify you via the site or email. The "Effective" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised.
If you have questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at [email protected] or at Level 2, 211 La Trobe Street, Melbourne Central, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia. For more on how we process personal data, see our Privacy Policy.
