[I] What are cookies?
'Cookies' are tiny text files that are stored by the browser (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, or Safari) when you visit the Website.
You can think of cookies as something that provides a “memory” for the Website. Cookies allow our Website to remember your preferences and play an important role in making the site work better for you.
We use cookies to deliver a more user-friendly service by making it easier and faster for you to use the Website. Cookies help us understand whether visitors come to the Website via a search engine or some other method, and what the most popular elements of the Website are.
[II] Types of cookies
There are two types of cookies:
- First-party cookies are created by the site you visit, i.e. in this case, the Website. The site is shown in the browser address bar.
- Third-party cookies are created by other sites. These sites own some of the content, like ads or images, that you see on our Website.
[III] How do we use cookies?
A visit to the Website may generate the following types of cookies on your browser.
Type of Cookies | Functionality |
|---|---|
Strictly Necessary Cookies | These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you to request a service, such as logging in, filling in forms, or setting your privacy preferences. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the Website will then not work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. |
Preference Cookies | These cookies store information that allows changes to the way the Website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in. These cookies allow access to services with characteristics that customise the Website experience for you. |
Targeting Cookies | These cookies may be set through our Website by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less personalised advertising. |
Performance Cookies | These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

[IV] How can you manage these cookies?

[V] Cookies set by third parties
Some content, advertising, and functionality on the Website may be provided by third parties, including third parties that are not affiliated with us. 'Third-party cookies' are cookies set by a domain other than the one that you are visiting. When you visit the Website, third-party organisations may place cookies on your browser, even if you are not a logged-in member of those organisations. This is because third-party cookies do not require you to actively engage with the third party's content or visit their site, just load a page on which the third party's technology sits. For example, we use third-party technologies such as video and audio hosting platforms to enable you to watch videos and listen to podcasts on the Website. The providers of these technologies may deploy cookies to your browser when you visit the pages on our site where we are using their technologies.
These cookies may inform the third-party organisations about your visit to our Website which may be used by those organisations to deliver targeted messages and advertising to you. In all cases, we do not set these cookies and have no access to the information that they gather. Such cookies are subject to the third-party organisations’ own cookie policies.
[VI] Privacy Contact Information and grievance redressal:
If you have any queries or complaints concerning our use of your personal information or our Cookie Policy, please email us at the following address: data.privacy@airindia.com
[VII] Amendment of this cookie policy
We may amend this Cookie Policy with immediate effect from time to time to comply with law or to meet our changing business requirements and will notify you as required under applicable laws. Where local regulations require, we will obtain consent from you for any uses of any new cookies. You should read and review this page regularly to see if there have been any changes.
