This Cookie Policy applies to the www.cornishholiday.info website (the “Website”). Please note that a separate policy applies to our Data Protection and Privacy. On the Website, we use cookies and similar technologies and techniques such as Software Development Kits (SDKs) – these are collectively referred to as “cookies”.
Cookies make your interaction with the Website easy and helpful and allow us to store information or gain access to information stored on your device to distinguish you from other visitors. Cookies are used by most website providers to make their websites work effectively and provide information to the website providers about how the website is used.
We have liaised with our website developer (Evolve Websites) to be able to give information on the Cookies used within the website.
Cookies are small text files that uniquely identify your browser or device. The cookie is stored on your browser by website or apps that you visit. When you return to that website or app (or visit websites or apps that use the same cookies) the website or app provider is able to recognize the cookies and your browsing device. An SDK operates by giving a device a unique code.
Cookies do many different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. Cookies can tell us, for example, whether you have visited the Website before or whether you are a new visitor.
For a more thorough explanation of what cookies are and how they work, please visit the EU Guide to Cookies, aboutcookies.org or allaboutcookies.org.
If you do not wish to allow cookies, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org. However this may mean that the website will not function correctly.
Cookies can be “First-party” Cookies or “Third-party” Cookies. First-party cookies are direct to your device. Third-party cookies are served by a third party.
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Some cookies are “Session cookies”, meaning that they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are “Persistent cookies”, meaning that they survive for a period of time after your browser is closed. Most Persistent cookies are set so that they automatically expire after a defined duration.
Our website uses WordPress as the content management system (CMS). WordPress uses a number of cookies for the functionality of the site. Details about what cookies WordPress may place on your device can be found here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/cookies. In summary this is:-
WordPress uses cookies, or tiny pieces of information stored on your computer, to verify who you are. There are cookies for logged in users and for commenters.
WordPress uses cookies for authentication. That means that in order to log in to your WordPress site, you must have cookies enabled in your browser.
Users are those people who have registered an account with the WordPress site.
On login, WordPress uses the wordpress_[hash] cookie to store your authentication details. Its use is limited to the Administration Screen area, /wp-admin/
After login, WordPress sets the wordpress_logged_in_[hash] cookie, which indicates when you’re logged in, and who you are, for most interface use.
WordPress also sets a few wp-settings-{time}-[UID] cookies. The number on the end is your individual user ID from the users database table. This is used to customize your view of admin interface, and possibly also the main site interface.
The cookies length can be adjusted with the ‘auth_cookie_expiration’ hook
The actual cookies contain hashed data, so you don’t have to worry about someone gleaning your username and password by reading the cookie data. A hash is the result of a specific mathematical formula applied to some input data (in this case your user name and password, respectively). It’s quite hard to reverse a hash (bordering on practical infeasibility with today’s computers). This means it is very difficult to take a hash and “unhash” it to find the original input data.
WordPress uses the two cookies to bypass the password entry portion of wp-login.php. If WordPress recognizes that you have valid, non-expired cookies, you go directly to the WordPress Administration Screen. If you don’t have the cookies, or they’re expired, or in some other way invalid (like you edited them manually for some reason), WordPress will require you to log in again, in order to obtain new cookies.
When visitors comment on a blog, they too get cookies stored on their computer. This is purely a convenience, so that the visitor won’t need to re-type all their information again when they want to leave another comment. Three cookies are set for commenters:
The commenter cookies are set to expire a little under one year from the time they’re set. The types of cookies that can be used by us in connection with the Website can be classified into one of four categories, namely (i) “Strictly necessary cookies”, (ii) “Functionality cookies”, (iii) “Analytics and performance cookies” (iv) “Advertising cookies”. We have set out some further general information about each of these categories.
These cookies are essential to provide you with the Website and to use some of its features, such as to allow you to log into secure areas of the Website. Without these cookies, we would not be able to provide you with a secure account or pages.
Strictly necessary cookies are also used for security purposes, for example, these types of cookies can be used to detect repeated failed login attempts and help ensure user data is kept secure.
Functionality cookies record information you have entered or choices you have made (such as your language preference for the Website). These cookies also allow for the site to be optimized for your use after logging in so that it can be personalized for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences. These cookies can also be used to remember settings you have applied, such as layout and text size. These can either be Session cookies or Persistent cookies.
Analytics and performance cookies are used to analyse how you use the Website, including which pages, videos and accounts you view most often, measure any errors that occur and test different design ideas. The information is used to report and evaluate your activities and patterns as a user of the Website.
Third-party cookies can be used for analytics and optimisation purposes. You can find more information about the individual Third-party cookies used on the Website in the table below:
Google Analytics
These cookies connect tracking activity performed by Google Analytics with the Google Ads network for remarketing purposes and advertising reporting. This is enabled by the Google Analytics cookie (g_id) mentioned above.

You can change your preferences by changing the settings in your browser. Most browsers will allow you to choose the level of privacy settings you want. This lets you control your cookie settings so that you can:
Deleting cookies or similar technologies may mean that any preference settings you have made on the Website will be lost. Blocking all cookies or similar technology may also mean certain functionality on the Website will not operate properly. Please therefore note that if you choose to refuse cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of the Website.
