How we use cookies:
What is a cookie? A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer’s hard disk so that the website can remember who you are.

A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the "lifetime" of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. Two types of cookies are used on this website-session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).

Cookies can help a website to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly. Most major websites use cookies. Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.

How do you use cookies and what information do you collect about me?
Session cookies:
We use temporary/session cookies in the following ways: within Heathrowairporttaxi.com Search to store your locations during a search session;
within registration to enable access to your address book.

How to manage the use of cookies on our website:
You can manage the cookies in the cookie folder of your browser. You can either delete cookies from your cookie folder once you have left our site, or you can set your preferences before you enter our website.
Deleting or rejecting cookies may impair your experience of our website. You may not be able to access some pages or complete some transactions securely.

Security:

Is my information secure?
Yes. We take the security of your personal data extremely seriously. We have implemented technology and security policies designed to protect the personal data under our control. We also follow strict security procedures as required by the UK Data Protection Act 1998. These cover the storage and disclosure of any information you’ve provided, and the prevention of unauthorised access.

Any credit card details you pass on to us are encrypted using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL is an industry standard for data encryption and is one of the best ways to ensure internet messages are not intercepted. Older browsers can’t use SSL, so you’ll need Netscape Navigator 3, Microsoft Internet Explorer 3 or later versions of these browsers.
