Cookies

As explained in our Privacy Policy, at Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, we are committed to only collecting, using and disclosing your personal data in ways that you expect and have consented to or as we are required and permitted by law. Cookies and similar technologies may collect personal data about you and in this policy we explain what information we collect and what purposes it is used for.

We understand that not everybody needs or wants to know how we use their information in the same level of detail, so we have created two levels of information for you. If you just want to know the basics, read the 'essential information' section for each topic. If you want to know more, you can read the 'detailed information' section so you can learn more about a particular issue.
