Cookies Policy

01What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you visit a website. They are stored by your web browser and allow the website — or a third party — to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit.

Cookies serve many functions. They can help a website remember your preferences, understand how you navigate the site, and enable features like shopping carts and login sessions. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser (known as session cookies), while others remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them (known as persistent cookies).

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), local storage, and device fingerprinting. Where this policy refers to “cookies,” it includes these similar technologies unless stated otherwise.

02Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, session management, and the booking form. Without these cookies, the website cannot operate as intended.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie settings because the website requires them to function. They do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.

2.2 Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting anonymous, aggregated data. They tell us which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on each page, which links are clicked, and whether users encounter any errors.

We use this information to improve our website’s performance, content, and user experience. We primarily use Google Analytics for this purpose. Analytics cookies do not identify you personally — they collect statistical data only.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. For example, these cookies may remember your location preference so we can display your nearest testing locations, or remember that you have already dismissed a notification banner.

If you disable functional cookies, some personalization features may not work correctly, but the core functionality of the website will not be affected.

2.4 Marketing & Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites for the purpose of displaying advertisements that are relevant to your interests. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

These cookies are set by third-party advertising platforms and are only placed with your consent. If you do not consent to marketing cookies, you will not see personalized advertisements from us on other websites, but you may still see generic ads.

03Specific Cookies Used on This Website

04Third-Party Cookies

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous statistical data about how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to track page views, session duration, traffic sources, and device information. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Google’s privacy policy governs how Google processes this data. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.2 Stripe

We use Stripe as our payment processor. Stripe sets essential cookies for fraud detection and payment security. These cookies are necessary to process payments securely and cannot be disabled. Stripe’s privacy policy governs how Stripe handles data collected through its cookies.

4.3 Meta (Facebook) & Google Ads

If you consent to marketing cookies, we may use tracking pixels and cookies from Meta (Facebook) and Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to deliver relevant ads to you on other platforms. These cookies are only set with your explicit consent and can be disabled at any time through your cookie preferences.

4.4 Divi (Elegant Themes)

Our website is built using the Divi theme by Elegant Themes. Divi may set functional cookies to store layout preferences and theme settings. These cookies enhance your browsing experience but are not essential for the website to function.

05Managing Your Cookie Preferences

5.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically configure your browser to block all cookies, accept all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is being set so you can decide whether to accept it. The process varies by browser:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. For example, if you block essential cookies, the booking form and session management features may not work correctly.

5.2 Google Analytics Opt-Out

To specifically opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on provided by Google. This prevents your browsing data from being collected by Google Analytics.

5.3 Advertising Opt-Out

You can opt out of personalized advertising from participating companies through the following industry tools:

• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): optout.aboutads.info
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): optout.networkadvertising.org
• Google Ad Settings: adssettings.google.com
• Facebook Ad Preferences: facebook.com/adpreferences

Opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads entirely — it means the ads you see will no longer be tailored to your browsing behavior.

06Your Consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner is displayed, giving you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Essential cookies are set automatically because they are required for the website to function — they do not require your consent.

For all other cookie categories — analytics, functional, and marketing — cookies are only set after you provide your consent. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings through the link in our website footer or by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

Your consent preferences are stored in a cookie (cookielawinfo-*) on your device for up to 1 year, after which you will be asked to confirm your preferences again.

07Changes to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the technologies on our website, or applicable legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the “Effective date” at the top of this page and post the revised policy on our website.

For significant changes that materially affect how we use cookies, we may also reset your cookie consent preferences so that you can review and re-confirm your choices under the updated policy.

Your continued use of our website after the updated policy takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
