Cookie Policy
Last updated: 28 July 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit the website www.globalairlines.com (our site). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them. It also outlines how you can manage your cookie preferences and the legal basis on which we rely to use non-essential cookies.
This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further details on how we handle your personal data.
What are cookies?
As is common practice with almost all professional websites our site uses cookies, which are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies help enhance your experience by enabling website functionality, improving performance, and tailoring content to you.
Under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we may store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of our site. For all other types of cookies, we will obtain your consent via a cookie banner or similar mechanism. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time.
Cookies set by Global Airlines Ltd (“we” or “us”) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than us are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
Why do we use cookies?
We use first party and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our site to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the user experience on our site. Third parties serve cookies through our site for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.
The specific types of first and third party cookies served through our site and the purposes they perform are described below:
-
“Strictly necessary” cookies, are essential for the operation of our site, enabling core functionality such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and account log-in (if available). Without these cookies, certain features of our site may not function properly.
-
“Performance” or “Analytics” cookies collect information about how visitors interact with our site, such as which pages are visited most often or if users encounter errors. This data helps us improve site performance and user experience. These cookies may persist after you close your browser.
-
“Functionality” cookies, remember choices you make, such as language preferences or form inputs, to provide a personalised experience. They do not track your activity on other websites.
-
“Targeting” cookies, are set by us or third-party advertising networks to deliver ads relevant to your interests, limit ad frequency, and measure campaign effectiveness. They may track your browsing habits across websites to tailor advertising content.
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our site or opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users within our site, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using such tracking technologies.
How can you control cookies?
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using our cookie banner or by accessing your browser settings. Most web browsers allow control over cookies through settings such as "Do Not Track" or blocking third-party cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the site.
