Cookie Notice

TUI UK Limited (referred to in this Notice as “we” or “us”), part of the TUI Group uses cookies and similar technologies (together “cookies”). Cookies are small data files uploaded on your device when you visit a website or mobile app. Cookies allow a website or a mobile app to collect and store a range of data on your devices. Some cookies are essential, while others allow us to enhance your experience, personalise content and adverts across your devices, and provide insights into how our website and mobile apps are being used.

We use Session Cookies which will automatically expire at the end of your browser session on our website and mobile apps. These are generally used for security purposes or to facilitate your use of our website or mobile apps. For example, we use session cookies to analyse the traffic on our website but also to remember the content of your online shopping basket.

We may also use Persistent Cookies which will be stored for a longer period depending on the nature of their purpose. For example, persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and choices when you use our website or for targeted advertising purposes.

We use Server-to-server tracking by generating and storing a unique identifier when you click a tracking link or are shown an advertisement. When you later make an action such as a website visit or a purchase, the unique identifier is matched. This allows us to monitor the effectiveness of our advertisement.

We might also use techniques such as pixels, which we don’t refer to as cookies because they don’t store information on your device. A pixel is an electronic file embedded into an email which allows us to see if the message was delivered, if and when you read it, and what you clicked on. We sometimes place these in marketing emails and newsletters. We use similar technology to get the same information about push notifications we send you, too.

Essential cookies enable core functionality such as the online shopping basket. Our website and mobile apps cannot
function properly without these cookies. Therefore, we don’t request your permission to use essential
cookies.

We also use essential cookies for security, network management, accessibility and to help webpage to load quickly. They
help us to keep track of what you are booking as you move through each stage of the booking process. Without them the
online booking process cannot take place.

The following essential cookies are placed on your device.

Targeting & Advertising Cookies to deliver relevant online advertising and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications, including online advertising

These cookies help us to deliver relevant online advertising and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications. They collect data about your online behaviour, IP address, the website you arrived from, information about your purchase history or the content of your shopping basket, so that we can try to predict what other products, services, and information you might be most interested in. For example, to suggest flights from your nearest airport, holidays in destinations you have shown interest in or products you might like. They also tell us if you have seen a specific advert, how long it has been since you saw it and control the number of times you are shown an advert. They also tell us if you have opened a marketing email that we sent you.

By not accepting these cookies, you may continue to see adverts on our website, mobile apps and on other organisations’ websites. The adverts you see will not be personalised or based on information from your past online behaviour, purchase history or the content of your shopping basket.

We use Server-to-server tracking by generating and storing a unique identifier when you click a tracking link or are shown an advertisement. When you later makes an action such as a website visit or a purchase, the unique identifier is matched. This allows us to monitor the effectiveness of our advertisement.

In addition, always include the country code as part of the customer phone number, even if all of the data is from the same country, as the country code is used for matching. For example, the number 1 must always precede a phone number for the United States. Example: 16505551212
