Cookie PolicyLast updated: 17 October 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Muirburn Kennels & Cattery (“Muirburn”, “we”, “our” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on www.muirburnkennels.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information when you enquire about or book boarding for your dog or cat.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can remember your preferences, help website features work and provide information about how the site is used. Similar technologies, including tags, pixels and browser storage, can have comparable purposes. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser; others remain for a defined period or until you remove them.
2. How do we use cookies?
We use essential technologies to support website operation, security and consent preferences. Other technologies may be used to understand visits and improve the website, support optional features such as embedded content or measure advertising where applicable. Some cookies are placed by Muirburn’s website and others by third-party service providers.
Our CookieYes consent tool presents the categories available on the site. A category appearing in the preferences panel does not necessarily mean that every cookie in that category is placed on every visit. The cookies used can depend on the page, browser, consent choices and services you interact with.
3. Cookie categories
Strictly necessary
These support functions such as security, saving cookie preferences and carrying out an action you request, including parts of the booking journey where necessary. They cannot ordinarily be switched off using the consent controls, although you may be able to block them in your browser. Certain optional site features may not work properly if you block them.
Functional
These support additional website features or embedded services, where used, such as maps and other third-party content. Non-essential functional cookies are subject to consent unless a specific legal exemption applies.
Analytics
These help us understand how visitors use the site. We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for website measurement and improvement. Depending on the service and settings, technologies may record pages viewed, interactions and approximate technical information. Where consent is required, these cookies and related technologies should only operate after you have opted in.
Performance
Where used, these help assess the site’s performance and identify technical problems. The consent preferences identify any cookies currently assigned to this category.
Advertisement
Some embedded or third-party services may involve advertising-related cookies. These are not essential to booking a stay with us. Where used, advertising cookies requiring consent should not be placed before that consent is given.
Other or unclassified cookies
Some technologies may initially appear as “Other” while their purposes are being reviewed. We aim to identify and categorise these appropriately. An unclassified cookie is not automatically considered strictly necessary.
4. Examples of cookies associated with our services
The table below gives examples associated with technologies identified on our website. It is not an exhaustive inventory; the currently identified cookie names, providers, purposes and durations are shown in the CookieYes preferences panel accessible through the button below. Actual cookies may differ according to the page and the consent choices you make.

Complete CookieYes cookie list
The following cookie inventory is provided by our CookieYes consent system and reflects the cookies currently listed in CookieYes. It is updated as changes to the cookie list are published. Individual cookies may not be set on every visit or every page.
Other security, booking or embedded-content cookies may appear on relevant pages or following particular interactions. Their presence and duration should be checked against the current CookieYes inventory. Cookie lifetimes shown above are indicative and can change when providers or settings are updated.
5. Managing or withdrawing your consent
When you first visit, the CookieYes banner lets you accept, reject or customise non-essential cookies. You can change your selection or withdraw consent later by selecting Change Cookie Preferences, or by using the consent revisit control displayed on the website.
Withdrawing consent does not automatically remove cookies already stored on your device. You can use your browser settings to delete existing cookies or block future cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect parts of the site, including certain booking functions.
6. Third-party services
Depending on the page and your choices, third-party technologies may be provided by Google (including Google Analytics, Tag Manager or Maps), Microsoft Clarity, CookieYes and embedded content or review services such as Trustindex. These providers may process technical or other information in line with their own privacy notices and the relevant settings. We do not control the cookies of external websites you choose to visit by following links.
7. Browser “Do Not Track” requests
We do not currently respond automatically to “Do Not Track” (DNT) browser signals. You can use our CookieYes consent controls to manage non-essential cookies, and your browser settings to manage stored cookies.
8. Updates to this policy
We may update this policy if the technologies we use or applicable rules change. We will update the date shown at the top when we make material changes. Because cookies can change, the CookieYes preference centre should be consulted for the most recent identified cookie information.
