What’s a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data used by web servers to help identify web users. Cookies can be turned on and off by you at any time in your web browser menu. Cookies allow us to track your purchases with participating retailers and allocate your Avios.

How are cookies used at British Airways Avios eStore?

We use cookies to track British Airways Avios eStore transactions so that we can credit your Executive Club account for any purchases made with our Retailers. A piece of code on our Retailers’ websites records your unique ID number and transaction, and then passes that back to us. We then use this to match it back to your details so we can allocate Avios to your Executive Club account.
