What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information about your visit — such as your preferences or whether you have previously consented to cookies.
How we use cookies
Distinct uses two categories of cookies: strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the site to function, and analytics cookies, which help us understand how visitors find and use the site so we can improve it.
We do not use cookies to serve advertising, build profiles for third-party marketing, or track you across other websites.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to work and cannot be switched off. They include session cookies used to maintain your booking progress, and the cookie that stores your consent preference so we do not ask you again on every visit.
No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies, but we are required to tell you about them.
Analytics cookies
With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised data about how visitors find and navigate the Distinct website. This includes pages visited, time spent, and the general source of the visit (for example, a search engine or a direct link). We do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
Analytics cookies are only set if you click “Accept” on our cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking “Decline” on the banner, which you can access again by clearing your browser cookies.
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the consent banner will reappear. You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies entirely, though this may affect the functionality of some parts of the site.
For more information about managing cookies in your browser, visit the ICO’s guidance at ico.org.uk.
