For example, these cookies help us to suggest flights from your nearest airport, a holiday at a destination that you are interested in, or products that you may like.

This means that you can see our advertising on our websites, mobile apps, and websites of other companies. You may also see advertisements for other companies on our websites and mobile apps.

This will prevent us from constantly displaying the same advertisement. We also use cookies to measure the effectiveness of our marketing communications, such as opening a marketing email we sent you.TO DEFEND AGAINST AUTOMATED SPAM ATTACKS
