Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6th January 2026

At Cornish Holiday Cottages, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect your personal information when you use our website.


Who we are

Our website address is:
https://ws323696-awt.remote.ac

We provide holiday accommodation information and related services across Cornwall.


Comments

When visitors leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also known as a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at:
https://automattic.com/privacy/

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.


Media uploads

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images displayed on the site.


Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.

  • If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
  • If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
  • When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year.
  • If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.


Embedded content from other websites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (for example videos, images or maps). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.


Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.


How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

For users that register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.


What rights you have over your data

You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request that we correct or delete your personal data
  • Request that we stop processing your personal data (where applicable)

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.


Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
