Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Prairie & Pavement Tours uses cookies and similar technologies on prairiees.pro. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. We use cookies to help our website function properly, understand how visitors use the site, remember certain preferences and, where permission is given, support analytics or marketing activity. Because privacy rules in the United Kingdom and Europe require transparency and, in many cases, consent, we want to explain clearly what these technologies do and how you can control them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some last only for the duration of your browsing session, while others remain for a longer period so that your browser can be recognised when you return. Similar technologies can include pixels, tags, scripts and local storage tools that perform related functions.
Types of cookies we may use
Strictly necessary cookies help core website functions work. These may support page navigation, security, session continuity, form submissions or booking functionality. Without them, parts of the site may not operate correctly.
Preference cookies remember choices you make, such as cookie settings, language preferences or simple display preferences, so that you do not have to select them again every time you visit.
Analytics cookies help us understand how people use the website, including which pages are viewed most often, how visitors move through the site and whether any technical problems occur. This information helps us improve content, usability and performance.
Marketing cookies may be used, where relevant and permitted, to measure the effectiveness of promotions or to show more relevant messages through third-party platforms. We do not treat these as essential and, where required by law, we seek your consent before using them.
How we use cookies
We use cookies to keep the website secure, support booking and contact processes, remember your choices, measure website performance and better understand which Oxford tour pages are most useful to visitors. For example, cookies may help us see whether guests are reading the classic city walk page, the private tours page or the family tours page most often, and whether people encounter difficulty during the booking journey.
Consent and control
When you first visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie banner or preference tool. Where non-essential cookies are used, we aim to obtain consent before placing them. You can usually accept all, reject non-essential cookies or manage categories according to your preferences. Your selection may be stored in a cookie so that the site remembers your choice.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete or restrict cookies, and many let you clear stored site data at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the performance of some website features, including contact forms, booking tools or preference settings.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies may be set by third-party services that appear on our website or that help us operate it, such as analytics providers, payment services, embedded maps, booking tools or social media integrations. Those providers may process information according to their own privacy notices, and we encourage you to review them where relevant.
How long cookies remain
Some cookies are session cookies and expire when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. The lifespan depends on the purpose of the cookie and the settings of the service that places it.
Do Not Track
Some web browsers offer a Do Not Track setting. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how websites must respond to such signals, our site may not respond to them in a consistent technical way. We nevertheless aim to offer meaningful cookie choices through our consent settings and browser-based controls.
Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, website tools or business practice. When we do, we will update the date at the top of the policy and publish the revised version on the site.
Contact us
If you have any questions about our use of cookies or similar technologies, please contact us at [email protected]. We will do our best to explain our practices clearly and address any reasonable concerns.
