Cheap Hotel London personnel may update information to accurately reflect any new information (such as change of your email address) in communications received from you.

If you click through from our site to another website, you should review the privacy policies of that site to find out what information they collect from you and how they use it.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT WHEN YOU DO NOT BOOK WITH US

You IP address may vary each time you visit, or it may be the same depending on whether you access our site through an always-on connection or a dial up connection. Regardless, it would be extremely difficult for us to identify you through your IP address and we make no attempt to do so. If you reach our site by clicking on a link or advertisement on another site, then we also log that information. This helps us to maximise our internet exposure and to understand the interests of our users. All of this information is collected and used in aggregate that is it is used to generate overall reports on visitors, not on individuals.
