Cookie Policy
Last updated: 9 August 2026This website, operated by Discover Dentdale Ltd trading as Dales & Lakes Holiday Cottages, uses a small amount of local storage and one optional analytics measurement. This policy explains exactly what is stored, why, and how you can change your choice at any time.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as a browser's "local storage", do the same job in a slightly different way. They can help a site function correctly, remember your preferences, or gather statistics about how the site is used.
What this site stores
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ghb_cookie_consent | Essential — local storage, set by this site | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so you are not asked on every visit. No consent is required for this because it exists only to record your choice. | Until you clear it or change your choice |
| Vercel Web Analytics | Optional — analytics, provided by Vercel Inc. | Counts page views and tells us which pages are read and roughly where visitors come from. It is cookieless: it sets no cookie and stores no identifier on your device, and it does not track you across other websites. It is loaded only after you press "Accept". | No device storage; aggregated data retained by Vercel for up to 12 months |
We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, social media trackers or any form of cross-site profiling.
Your choices
When you first visit the site you are shown a banner allowing you to accept or decline analytics. Nothing beyond the essential consent record is stored unless you accept. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer of the home page, which will bring the banner back. Most browsers also allow you to block or delete cookies and site data through their settings.
Third parties
One third-party service is involved in delivering this site:
- Vercel Inc. hosts the website. Like any web host, its servers process your IP address and browser information in order to deliver the pages you request, and it keeps short-lived security and traffic logs.
Everything else the page needs — images, styles, scripts and typefaces — is served from this website's own domain. Your browser is not asked to contact any other company while the page loads.
Our site also links out to third-party services such as Dales & Lakes Holiday Cottages, Independent Cottages and the Yorkshire Dales National Park website. Once you follow one of those links you are on their site, governed by their own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
