This cookie policy explains how Betmica uses cookies and similar technologies on chilterns-holiday-cottage.co.uk. We've written this page to help you understand what cookies are, which ones we use, and how you can control them through your browser settings.
How this site remembers you
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. It helps the site recognise you when you return, remember your preferences, and understand how you navigate the pages. Cookies do not access other files on your device, and they cannot run programs or deliver viruses.
Most websites use cookies to improve the user experience. Without them, every visit would feel like your first – no saved settings, no session continuity, and no way for us to learn which content is useful and which isn't.
The analytics question
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our content. These cookies collect anonymous information – which pages are viewed, how long someone stays, and where they came from – so we can improve the site's layout and focus on the topics that matter most to our readers.
Analytics cookies require your consent. When you first arrive, you'll see a banner asking whether you accept them. You can decline without affecting your ability to read the content. The site will still function normally; we simply won't gather usage data from your session.
| Cookie type | Purpose | Consent required |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Session management, security, load balancing | No |
| Analytics | Traffic measurement, page-view counts, referral sources | Yes |
| Marketing | Tracking for advertising, affiliate attribution | Yes |
Scripts we do not control
Some pages on chilterns-holiday-cottage.co.uk load third-party scripts – tools for analytics, advertising networks, or embedded content from external platforms. Each of these services may set its own cookies according to its own privacy policy.
We choose our partners carefully, but once a third-party script runs in your browser, it operates under that provider's terms. Where possible, we configure these tools to respect your privacy and minimise data collection. You can block third-party cookies entirely through your browser settings if you prefer stricter control.
Your options
You are always in control. Modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies at any time. Here's where to find those settings in the most common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Blocking all cookies may affect how some features work – you might need to log in more frequently, or certain preferences won't save between visits. Necessary cookies, which keep the site secure and functional, are typically exempt from these blocks.
If you decline analytics and marketing cookies through our banner, we store that choice in a small preference cookie so we don't ask again. Clearing your browser's cookies will reset that preference, and you'll see the banner on your next visit.
Revisions
We update this policy when we add new tools, change how we collect data, or respond to changes in privacy regulations. The last revision date appears at the bottom of this page. Significant changes will be announced through a notice on the site, so you're not caught off guard by new practices.
Visiting chilterns-holiday-cottage.co.uk after an update means you accept the revised terms. If you disagree with a change, you can stop using the site or adjust your browser settings to block our cookies entirely.

Questions about how we use cookies, or how to exercise your rights under UK data-protection law, can be sent to [email protected]. We aim to reply within 48 hours.
