They can expire at the end of a browser session or they can be stored for longer. To find out more about cookies, including how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. Here’s some information on the type of cookies used on this website.

First party persistent cookies are stored by a website for a fixed period (usually a year or longer) and are not deleted when the browser is closed.

Third Party Cookies are placed by domains other than www.cathedralhotellichfield.co.uk. For example, we use Google Analytics which will set cookies to perform this service. They can be either session or persistent cookies.

This website may also contain content embedded from, for example, YouTube which can set its own (third party) cookies. See below for more information on Third Party Cookies.

YouTube
