This Cookie Policy explains how Sandlight Travels uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies complies with the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and tags.
2. The categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
Required for the website to function. They enable core features such as logging in, keeping items in your booking, and remembering your selected currency. These cookies do not require your consent and cannot be switched off.
Functional cookies
Allow us to remember your preferences (such as language, recently viewed hotels, and saved searches) so we can give you a more personalised experience.
Analytics cookies
Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We use providers such as Google Analytics, which set cookies to count visits, measure traffic sources, and identify the most popular pages. The data is aggregated and does not directly identify you.
Marketing cookies
Used by us and our advertising partners to show you relevant offers on other websites and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies track your activity across sites and require your consent.
3. Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties when you visit our website, including:
- Google Analytics — for site usage statistics.
- Stripe and other payment processors — for secure payment handling and fraud prevention.
- Meta (Facebook) and Instagram — if you interact with embedded content or use social login.
We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the relevant provider's privacy policy to learn more about how they process your data.
4. Managing your cookie preferences
When you first visit our website, we ask for your consent to non-essential cookies via a cookie banner. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the website footer.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect the functionality of our website. For instructions, see the help section of your browser:
5. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to them. You can still manage your cookie preferences as described above.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. The latest version is always available on this page.
