We believe in being open and transparent about how your data is collected and used, and this policy is designed to help you understand what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files made up of letters and numbers that are stored on your computer, smartphone, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. These files contain information that allows the website to recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit
Cookies perform many useful functions, such as remembering your booking details, helping pages load more quickly, and making sure you don’t have to re-enter information every time you return. Some cookies are temporary and disappear once you close your browser, while others remain on your device until you delete them manually or they expire on their own.

Types of Cookies We Use

These are strictly necessary for our website to function properly. Without them, key features like booking taxis online, maintaining secure login sessions, or processing payments would not be possible.

4. Advertising Cookies
If we use online advertising, these cookies help deliver ads that are more relevant to you. They can also limit how often you see an advertisement and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies may track your browsing activity across other websites as well.
