Cookie Policy
This site, like many others, uses small files called cookies to help customise and improve your experience.
What are 'cookies' and how does GreatValueHolidays.com use them?
'Cookies' are small text files that are stored by the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Safari) on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store such things as user preferences. You can think of cookies as providing a "memory" for the website, enabling it to recognise a user and respond appropriately.
A visit to a page on GreatValueHolidays.com may generate the following types of cookie:
- Anonymous analytics cookies: Every time a user visits our website, web analytics software provided by a third party generates an anonymous analytics cookie. These cookies can tell us whether or not you have visited the site before. Your browser will tell us if you have these cookies, and if you don't, we generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual unique users we have, and how often they visit the site. We also use cookie to tell which web-source and advertising campaigns accountable for calls and bookings from our customers on our website. These cookies cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used for statistical purposes only.
- Other third party cookies: On some pages of the GreatValueHolidays.com, third parties may also set their own anonymous cookies, for the purposes of tracking the success of their application, or customising the application for you. Because of how cookies work, Great Value Holidays cannot access these cookies, nor can the third parties access the data in cookies used by Great Value Holidays. For example, when you share an article using a social media sharing button on GreatValueHolidays.com, the social network that has created the button will record that you have done this.
How do I turn cookies off?
It is usually possible to stop your browser accepting cookies, or to stop it accepting cookies from a particular website. For example, we cannot tell if you are signed in without using cookies, so you would not be able to post comments.

In order to understand these setttings, the following links may be helpful, otherwise you should use the 'Help' option in your browser for more details.
