Cookies Policy
This policy explains what cookies and technologies we use.
Here at Seashell Holidays Ltd ("Seashell Holidays", "we" or "us") use cookies and other similar technologies on this website so that we can provide you with a great experience. These cookies and technologies are small files placed on your device by us that allow us to store or access information about you. As an example, you may search a particular holiday and we might use a cookie to remember this for you so when you go back to the search, the information is already there for you without having to enter a lot of detail again. These cookies and technologies are unique to the browser you use, and you have control over whether you accept many of the cookies that we use.
Our business partners may also store cookies on your device and use similar technologies to collect and use certain information for advertising personalisation, measurement and analytics. Cookies are either first-party cookies (where they are placed on your device by our website domain) or third-party cookies (where they are placed on your device by third-party website domains).
There are many different types of cookies and each perform different functions and because they can change, we do not list the actual cookies used here. You may however, contact us (see below) if you want more information on the actual cookies and technologies used and you may also use one of many products that will report on website cookies being used at the time of checking.
Our cookies fall broadly into three categories summarised below:
Essential/Functional cookies
These are required for the operation of our website. They are used to recognise your preferences on the site and to enable us to optimise our service to you. They include as an example, cookies that enable you to carry out searches or make payments. We do not ask for your consent to place these cookies as they are essential to the running of our website as well as our ability to provide you with holiday information to make a booking. Part of our essential and functional cookies are cookies which we place to enable airline partners such as Ryanair, to ensure they have the right information for your booking. These cookies are only relevant when a Ryanair flight is selected. These cookies are used to track users anonymously between Ryanair internal sites, store preferences for the website, and identify devices for enhanced security.
Analytical/Performance cookies
These allow us to understand how visitors use our website, so we can constantly improve it. We are able to count the number of visitors and review which pages they visit, and we also use these cookies to monitor which marketing activities generate activity to our website. You may refuse to have these cookies placed and when you do refuse, this does not stop our website providing the services you expect. It does however stop us from better understanding how our customers use our site and to enable us to make positive changes for your benefit.
Marketing/Social Media/Third Party cookies
These cookies may be used by us, social networking sites, other third-party suppliers and/or advertisers to record your visits to our website and enable interaction with you once you have left our website. The information obtained is used to personalise any adverts that you see for our products, whether they appear on our website or on third party websites.
During your booking journey, you may, depending on your package choice, interact with the domain of a Seashell Holidays business partner in order to finalise your booking. Where this is the case, your Seashell Holidays cookie preferences will apply to our business partner websites accessed as part of the booking journey. Data collected through strictly necessary cookies on our partner websites will be used by our partners only and will not be shared with Seashell Holidays. If you have already customised your cookie preferences on any of our partner websites, please be aware that these preferences will not be shared with us and will not apply when accessing these domains through Seashell Holidays.
Currently, this process only applies to our business partner Ryanair. For more information, please see Ryanair's Privacy Policy and Ryanair's Cookie Policy.

Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL certificate, then the booking will not be ATOL protected.
