Cookie policy

This policy explains which cookies the Red Herring Rooms website uses, what each one does and how you can switch them off. It applies to this website only, not to the rooms themselves.

What a cookie is

A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser. It lets the site remember something between pages or visits, such as the room you were looking at or that you’ve already closed a message. Cookies can’t see your files, read your email or run programs on your device.

The cookies we use

We keep it to a short list:

• Essential: keep the booking and enquiry forms working and stop spam. The site won’t work properly without them.

• Analytics: tell us how many people visit and which pages are popular. The numbers are counted together, never linked to your name.

• Payments: set by our payment provider when you pay, only on the payment step.

• Advertising: none. We don’t track you around the internet or sell space to anyone.

How long they last

Essential cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Analytics cookies last up to 12 months, then they’re removed automatically. Payment cookies follow our provider’s own policy and last no longer than they need to.

Turning them off

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you block essential cookies, the booking form may stop working, so ring us on 0161 496 0742 and we’ll book you in by phone.

Changes

If we add a new cookie, we’ll update this page and the date at the top before it goes live. We check the list every year, and whenever we change our booking or payment systems, so it stays short and accurate.
