Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how NeedATaxi.co.uk (IP Block Ltd) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, and advertising and analytics identifiers in our app. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. Some cookies are set by us (“first party”) and some by third parties.
2. Cookies we use
Strictly necessary (always on)
These are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They do not require consent.
| Cookie | Purpose |
|---|---|
Session cookie (e.g. PHPSESSID) | Keeps you signed in and maintains your session. |
| CSRF token | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery. |
Cloudflare (e.g. __cf_bm) | Security and bot management to protect the site. |
Analytics (require consent)
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics | Measures visits and how the site is used, so we can improve it. |
Third-party during checkout
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe cookies | Stripe | Set only when you make a payment, to process it securely and prevent fraud. |
3. Our mobile app
The app does not use browser cookies, but it uses similar technologies:
- Firebase Analytics (Google) — measures how the app is used.
- Google AdMob — shows adverts in the free version and may use an advertising identifier. You can remove ads by upgrading, and you can reset or limit your advertising ID in your device settings.
4. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings, and block them if you prefer — though strictly necessary cookies are needed for the site to work properly. To learn more, see aboutcookies.org.
You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites using Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
5. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above shows when it last changed.
