This Cookie Policy explains how The Old Post Office uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at theoldpo.com/. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve your experience, and to provide information to the site’s owners. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep our website running smoothly and securely, to remember your preferences, and to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We aim to keep our use of cookies to the minimum needed to give you a good experience.
The types of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website to work, including page caching and basic security. The site cannot function properly without these, so they do not require consent.
- Functional cookies — remember choices you make, such as preferences, to give you a better experience.
- Performance and analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site (for example which pages are most popular) so we can improve it. These are only set with your agreement.
- Third-party cookies — set by services we use on certain pages, such as our online availability and booking calendar, and any embedded content from social media. These are explained below.
Third-party services
Some pages include content or tools provided by other companies, which may set their own cookies:
- Booking calendar — our real-time availability calendars are provided by our booking system. Viewing or using them may set cookies controlled by that provider.
- Social media — where we link to or embed content from Facebook, Instagram or X, those platforms may set their own cookies, governed by their own policies.
We do not control cookies set by third parties. Please refer to the relevant provider’s privacy and cookie policies for more information.
Managing your cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your web browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse or remove cookies, and to be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work, including the booking calendar. Guidance for managing cookies is available in your browser’s help pages.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be shown on this page, with the date it was last updated above.
