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, 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.

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 Microsoft Clarity (e.g., _clck, _clsk), which records how pages are used (clicks, scrolling, errors) so we can find and fix problems. For visitors in the UK and Europe, Clarity only sets its cookies after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner.
• You can turn Microsoft Clarity off by clicking "Reject" on our cookie banner. To opt out of Google Analytics, use Google's opt-out browser add-on 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. Third-Party Cookies & Services

• Some features use third-party providers (analytics, 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.
• We do not use advertising, remarketing or social media tracking cookies.

8. Managing Cookies (Your Choices)

• Use our cookie banner to accept or reject analytics cookies. You can change your choice at any time: Change cookie settings.
• Manage or delete cookies via your browser:
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Edge
• Blocking some cookies may affect site features (e.g., booking, payments, or saved preferences).

9. Consent

• If you are in the UK or Europe, Microsoft Clarity cookies are only set after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. Clicking "Reject" turns them off wherever you are. Your choice is remembered for 6 months.
• You can withdraw or change your consent at any time using Change cookie settings or your browser settings.

10. Changes to This Policy
