Cookies can be set by the owner of the website you're on.  These are known as 1st Party Cookies. There are also 3rd Party Cookies that can be set by partner websites.  Only the owner of the cookie can see the anonymous information it collects.  You can choose to accept all cookies, reject 3rd Party Cookies or reject all cookies by changing your Internet browser settings.  If you don't accept cookies, some features of our Website won't work.

When you're buying something on our Website, we need to use cookies to keep track of what you're booking as you move through each stage of the booking process.

Keeping track of your searches and preferences



Your recent searches and shortlisted holidays are recorded using cookies. If you've searched for a holiday, left our Website and then you come back later, the search panel will keep the information you provided before, so you won't need to fill everything in again.

If you've made a shortlist but you haven't saved it by entering your email address, we'll store your shortlisted holidays using a cookie, so you'll be able to see it when you visit us again using the same computer or device.

Improving your experience

We use cookies and software programmes to record, measure and analyse how our customers use our Website. We use this information to understand what you want from our Website, which helps us when we're considering future products like flight routes and holidays.

We can also find out how you move around our Website, so we can look into any errors stopping you from being able to do what you want. The data we collect from cookies is really important for us to improve your experience.



Making your experience personal

When you're on our Website, we might interact with you or show you personalised information and offers anonymously.  Cookies help us to do this by letting us know how you're using our Website on your particular computer or device, which means we can work out what's most relevant to you.

Receive our email newsletters?  We link information from cookies with your email registration details so we can tailor the information we send you.  You'll be given the chance to opt-out of our email newsletters or updates by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email we send you.
