1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a piece of data that is stored on a computer, tablet or other device (“device”) used to browse the Internet so that that device can be recognized at a later time. Cookies placed when you visit the Travelocity Business online travel site (the “site”) do not recognize you personally as an individual; they only recognize the device you are using. Cookies do not harm your device in any way but they do allow for several important features on the site. For instance, they allow you to make bookings and return to pages that you have searched. They also help us to keep the site secure and make sure your selected products reappear when you come back to the same page so you don’t have to select them again.
It is your choice whether or not you allow cookies to be placed on your device. For specific information about managing and controlling cookies, please refer to Managing cookies below.
