A few examples of the ways in which we use strictly necessary cookies:
As a company handling financial transactions from the general public, we have certain legal obligations we need to abide by. One of those rules is that we must do everything we can to prevent fraud and money laundering. These Cookies help us to protect our customers and our business by ensuring that customers are genuine, haven’t registered more than once, and are not fraudulently trying to access accounts that don’t belong to them. They also help us to recognise behaviour that may indicate fraud, money laundering, other illegal activities or breaches of our terms and conditions. We use the ‘iesnare’ cookie for these purposes.
Without these cookies you will be unable to use our websites. If you do not wish to accept this type of cookie, your option will be to close your account and not use our services.
These Cookies allow our websites to remember choices you have made, such as your username, your chosen venue or the vehicle selections you have placed on your voucher booking. They help us keep you logged into your account as you navigate around our websites, and enable you to use certain features such as resetting your PIN or user ID. We also use them to personalise your experience by, for example, showing more relevant price boosts based on your previous activity, giving you access to information provided by social media websites such as Twitter, or to show you ‘related article’ links relevant to information you’re looking at.
Without these cookies you will still be able to use the site but may experience difficulty in using certain features and will need to keep logging in as you navigate around our sites. You will not see content (including price boosts) that is relevant to you.
These Cookies collect information about how people use our websites and how the sites are performing, e.g. how many people visit, which pages are most popular and whether and where people see error messages. They also ensure we can pay our marketing partners correctly for users they refer to us.
