With your consent (statistics and marketing cookies), we record when someone clicks a phone number, clicks through to online booking or successfully sends a contact or booking form. This tells us which Google adverts and pages bring enquiries. Only the fact that the action happened, the page language and the form name are sent to Google – never what you type into a form.
Some cookies are set by Google Ireland Ltd and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. Their use of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
