Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on the Serene Cove website, and what choices you have in relation to them. Please read this policy alongside our Privacy Notice, which explains how we handle your personal data more broadly.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone) by your web browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device and store some information about your preferences or past actions, so we can offer you a more consistent and relevant experience.

For more information about cookies and your rights, you can visit the Information Commissioner's Office website at www.ico.org.uk or www.aboutcookies.org.

What Do Cookie Do

Cookies perform a number of different tasks on our website. Their key role is to ensure the site works correctly and, where relevant, to remember your preferences so we can provide you with an improved and more consistent experience.

Why Are We Telling You This

We want to be completely open and transparent about how our website works and what data it collects. This policy gives you a clear outline of the types of cookies we use, what they do, and the choices available to you.

Types of Cookies

Cookies generally fall into one of the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies – These are essential for the website to function correctly. Without them, certain features such as navigation or contact forms may not work. These cookies do not require your consent.
Performance cookies – These collect information about how visitors use a website, for example which pages are visited most often. They help us improve the way the site works. We do not currently use performance cookies.
Functionality cookies – These remember choices you make on the website, such as your username or language preference, to give you a more personalised experience. We do not currently use functionality cookies.
Targeting or advertising cookies – These are used to deliver adverts relevant to your interests and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. We do not use any targeting or advertising cookies.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Our website is built on the Wix platform. We only use strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the website to operate correctly. These cookies do not require your consent under UK law, but we want to be fully transparent about their use.

Cookies can be either session cookies — temporary files deleted when you close your browser — or persistent cookies, which remain on your device between visits.

The strictly necessary cookies used on our website are:

XSRF-TOKEN – A security cookie set by Wix to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks. Session cookie — deleted when you close your browser.
svSession – Used by Wix to identify unique visitors and track user sessions across the site. Persistent cookie — lasts up to 2 years.
hs – A security cookie used by Wix for authentication purposes. Session cookie — deleted when you close your browser.
_wixCIDX – Used by Wix to identify the server cluster serving the website. Persistent cookie — lasts up to 3 months.
Contact form session cookie – A temporary cookie set when you use our contact form, used to prevent duplicate submissions. Session cookie — deleted when you close your browser.

Third Party Cookies

We do not use any third-party advertising, analytics, or social media cookies on our website. We do not use Google Analytics or any similar tracking services.

Please note that Wix, as our website platform, may set some of the cookies listed above as part of the core infrastructure needed to run the site. For more information about how Wix handles data, please see Wix's own privacy policy at www.wix.com/about/privacy.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time, for example if we make changes to our website or if there are updates to the law. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised 'last updated' date. We encourage you to check back periodically.
