Cookie Policy

1. About This Cookie Policy

• This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how London Airport Taxi uses them on https://londonairport-taxi.com/, and how you can manage your preferences.
• We follow UK GDPR and PECR requirements to ensure transparency and lawful use of cookies and similar technologies.
• "Cookies" also includes other identifiers such as local storage, pixels, and similar tracking technologies where applicable.

2. What Are Cookies?

• Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences, and improve performance.
• Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or are deleted by you.
• First-party cookies are set by our site; third-party cookies are set by external services (e.g., analytics, ads, live chat, maps, or booking tools).

3. Why We Use Cookies

• To keep the website secure and functioning (navigation, forms, sessions, payments).
• To remember your choices (e.g., pickup location, airport selection, saved details).
• To understand site usage and improve speed, layout, and content.
• To deliver relevant marketing and measure campaign performance where permitted.

4. Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

• Required for core functions such as session management, CSRF/anti-fraud protection, and our quote/booking engine.
• These cookies do not store personally identifying information and cannot be switched off via our consent tool.
• Blocking them via your browser may break key features (e.g., bookings and payments).

5. Performance & Analytics Cookies

• Used to collect aggregated, anonymised statistics (pages viewed, time on page, clicks, errors) so we can improve the site.
• Examples include Google Analytics cookies (e.g., _ga, _gid) and UX tools that help us understand navigation patterns.
• You can opt out of non-essential analytics via our cookie banner or your browser settings.

6. Functional Cookies

• Remember preferences such as language, airport selections, and previously entered form data to speed up future quotes.
• Enhance convenience without being strictly necessary for the site to run.
• Disabling them may reduce personalisation but the site should still work.

7. Advertising & Remarketing Cookies

• Used to show relevant ads to visitors who have previously interacted with our site (e.g., Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Pixel).
• Help limit ad frequency, measure conversions, and improve campaign relevance.
• You can adjust ad personalisation at https://adssettings.google.com/ and via your social platform settings.

8. Third-Party Cookies & Services

• Some features use third-party providers (analytics, ads, live chat, maps, booking widgets) that may set their own cookies.
• Each provider has its own privacy/cookie policy. We recommend reviewing those policies for detailed information.
• Where required, these cookies only load after you provide consent through our banner.
