Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website saves on your device. Similar technology, such as your browser's local storage, works in much the same way. We call all of these “cookies” on this page.

Your choice

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you accept or reject optional cookies. Both buttons are equally easy to use, and the website works the same whichever you choose. Nothing optional is saved on your device unless you click Accept.

You can change your mind at any time using “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page, or with this button:

Cookies that are always used

• whitehousefarm-cookie-accept (stored in your browser, no expiry until you clear it): remembers whether you accepted or rejected cookies, so we don't ask on every page.
• Booking calendar: our “Book Direct” page shows a booking calendar provided by Smoobu (booking.smoobu.com). Smoobu may set cookies it needs to check availability and take your booking securely.

Google Analytics (only if you accept)

We use Google Analytics to see how many people visit, which pages are popular, how people find us and which buttons they use (for example “Book Direct”, phone or email links, or links to Airbnb and Booking.com). This helps us improve the site. We cannot identify you personally from it.

• _ga (2 years): tells visits apart.
• _ga_83MERXR6YS (2 years): keeps track of your current visit.

Google Consent Mode

We use Google's Consent Mode. This means Google's tag on our pages checks your choice before doing anything. If you have not accepted, or you reject, no Google Analytics or advertising cookies are set. Google may still receive basic, cookieless signals (such as that a page was viewed, the type of browser and approximate country), without any identifier that links visits together. Google uses these to estimate overall visitor numbers. If you accept, full Google Analytics is switched on.

Advertising cookies (only if you accept, and only when we run adverts)

When we run adverts on Facebook, Instagram or Google, we may use the following to find out whether our adverts lead to visits and bookings. They are never set unless you click Accept.

• Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram) _fbp (3 months): links a visit to our adverts on Meta and lets us show adverts to people who have visited the site.
• Google Ads _gcl_au (3 months): measures whether a Google advert led to a booking.

Reviews

Our home page shows guest reviews through a widget from Trustindex. It may use its own technology to display the reviews.

Removing cookies

If you reject cookies after previously accepting, we delete the Google Analytics and advertising cookies we can reach. You can also clear cookies in your browser settings at any time.

Do we sell your data?

No. We do not sell personal information.
