What is a cookie?
A cookie is a piece of data that is stored on a computer, tablet or other device ("device") used to browse the Internet. Cookies placed when you visit the GetThere booking tool (the "tool") do not recognize you personally as an individual; they only recognize the device you are using. Cookies do not harm your device in any way but they do allow for several important features on the tool.
Our cookie policy
To make full use of the tool, your device should accept cookies, as much of our online functionality has been developed specifically to only work via the use of cookies.
Cookies placed via the tool do not store any of your personal or sensitive information (such as your name, address or payment details). The cookies used enable you to use certain features of the tool (for instance, they allow you to access secure areas of the tool). Without these cookies, services you have requested could not be provided.
GetThere may also use third party tracking technologies or activities arising out of them in conjunction with the tool for analytics purposes. For example, this site may use Adobe’s analytics and on-site personalization services.
See http://www.adobe.com/privacy/analytics.html for more information about Adobe technology.
To learn about opting out of the use of Adobe cookies for analytics and on-site personalization, visit http://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html. After your opt-out of the use of Adobe cookies for analytics and on-site personalization, Adobe will no longer collect and analyze information via cookies associated with your browser for these services. When you opt-out, Adobe will place opt-out cookies on your browser. If you delete your cookies, change browsers, or change devices, you will need to repeat this opt-out process. Also, please note that this opt-out process will work only if your browser is set to accept all cookies.
There are two types of cookies used within the tool:
Persistent state cookies, which are data that is stored on a device’s hard drive that will allow you to save certain information and preferences on the tool. An example of this would be our "Save Password" feature if enabled by your organization within the tool. No personally identifiable information is stored by a persistent state cookie. The use of persistent state cookies such as the "Save Password" feature is not required in order to use the tool.
Session cookies, which are stored within the volatile memory of your device during your browsing session and are deleted as soon as you close your browser. The use of session cookies within the tool provides security by preventing the interception of your transaction. No personal information is stored by a session cookie. The use of session cookies within the tool is required in order to navigate between pages and complete a booking.
Managing cookies
What happens if I don't allow cookies?
