Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Veridical Data Systems Ltd (company number 17139455, registered office at 66 Paul Street, London, England, United Kingdom, EC2A 4NA), trading as "Axiom Booking" ("we", "us", or "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies across our website and SaaS platform (collectively, the "Services").
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use an online service. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, improve user experience, and provide information to website owners.
2. How We Use Cookies
We currently use strictly necessary cookies only. We do not use analytics, advertising, or preference cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.
Our website reads your browser's time zone, in your browser only, to show prices for your country: a visitor in Ireland sees prices in euro. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent to us. If you use the link at the foot of each page to switch country yourself, your browser's local storage remembers that choice, as explained in section 4.
Strictly Necessary Cookies (Essential)
These cookies are required for the operation of our Services and do not require consent under the European Communities (Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Privacy and Electronic Communications) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 336 of 2011, the "ePrivacy Regulations").
- Enable user authentication and secure login sessions
- Provide access to protected areas of the platform
- Prevent fraud and enhance security
- Maintain system stability and performance
Without these cookies, our Services cannot function properly.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services that we use to provide our Services.
- Stripe (payment processing and fraud prevention)
These third parties may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

5. Legal Basis and Compliance
- The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- The Data Protection Act 2018
- The ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. No. 336 of 2011)
- Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent (Regulation 5(5))
- All non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics and preferences) require your prior consent (Regulation 5(3))
6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Because we use strictly necessary cookies only, there is no consent banner and no cookie settings tool - under the ePrivacy Regulations, essential cookies do not require your consent.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our Services.
If we introduce analytics, advertising, or preference cookies in future, we will ask for your consent before setting them and update this policy accordingly.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or how we use cookies. Any updates will be indicated by revising the "Last updated" date above.
