What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.

Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your device. They are not harmful — they simply let websites remember information between page visits, such as items in a booking form or your chosen language preference.

There are two main types by lifespan:

• Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period (shown in the cookie list below) or until you delete them.

Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other organisations whose content appears on the page (maps, analytics scripts) are called third-party cookies.

Types of cookies we use

We keep our cookie use minimal and purposeful. We use three categories:

Full cookie list

The table below lists every cookie set by tunbridgewellstogatwicktaxis.co.uk, its purpose, and how long it persists on your device.

Your consent

Legal basis under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR):

• Essential cookies are set on the basis of legitimate interest — they are strictly necessary for the website to operate.
• Analytics and functional cookies are set only with your consent, which you give via the cookie banner and can withdraw at any time.

Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw consent at any time by:

• Clearing all cookies for this site in your browser settings (see guide below), or
• Using your browser’s privacy mode / incognito window — no persistent cookies are stored in these sessions.

Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.

How to manage cookies

All modern browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. The links below take you directly to cookie management settings in the most common browsers:

Opt out of Google Analytics specifically

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available for all major browsers. Once installed, it blocks the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing visit information with Google Analytics.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. While there is no legally binding standard for how sites must respond to DNT, we respect DNT signals where technically feasible and do not load optional analytics scripts when DNT is detected.

Third-party cookies and services

This site loads content from a small number of trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies. We have no control over these third-party cookies; they are governed by each provider’s own privacy and cookie policies.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (a service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyse how visitors use the site. Analytics data is transmitted to Google servers and stored anonymously. Your IP address is truncated before storage. Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted.

Google is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Further detail: Google Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Terms.

Embedded Maps

Some pages may embed Google Maps to display service area information. When a map loads, Google may set cookies and receive your IP address as part of providing the mapping service. Maps are loaded only with your consent where the page’s cookie banner is accepted.

WordPress Platform

This site runs on WordPress, which sets certain essential technical cookies for session management. These are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled without breaking core site functionality.

No social media tracking

We do not load Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Twitter/X tracking tags, LinkedIn Insight, or any other social media tracking scripts on this website.

Policy updates

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or changes in applicable law. When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. We encourage you to check this page periodically.

If we make significant changes to how we use cookies — for example, adding a new category of optional cookie — we will display a notice on the website and reset the consent banner so you can review and reconfirm your preferences.

Continued use of the website after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the changes in respect of essential cookies. For optional cookies, we will ask for your consent again if the changes are material.
