Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Rental Auto uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our services.

By using our platform, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies allow websites to recognize your device and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and settings.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the platform to function properly (authentication, security, session management). These cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for core functionality.

• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings (language, theme, location, cookie consent preferences)

• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our platform (Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, etc.). These are only set if you consent to analytics cookies.

• Marketing Cookies: Used to deliver relevant advertisements and track campaign effectiveness (only set with your consent)

• Third-Party Cookies: Set by third-party services integrated into our platform (analytics services, social media)

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• To enable core functionality (authentication, session management, booking management)

• To remember your preferences and settings (language selection, theme preferences, cookie consent choices)

• To analyze website traffic and user behavior (only if you consent to analytics cookies)

• To improve our services and user experience

• To ensure security and prevent fraud

• To deliver targeted advertising (only with your explicit consent)

You can control which types of cookies are set through our cookie consent banner, except for essential cookies which are always required.

We use third-party services that may set cookies on your device (only if you consent):

• Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics: Website analytics and performance monitoring

• Social Media Platforms: Social sharing and authentication (if integrated)

• Advertising Networks: Targeted advertising (only with your explicit consent)

These third parties have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how they use cookies.

Note: We do not use payment processor cookies as payment processing is handled directly between hosts and customers.

You can control and manage cookies in several ways:

• Our Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit our site, you'll see a cookie consent banner where you can choose to accept all cookies, accept only essential cookies, or customize your preferences. Your choices are saved in your browser's local storage.

• Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when cookies are set. You can also clear your browser's local storage to reset your cookie preferences.

• Opt-Out Tools: Use industry opt-out tools for advertising cookies (e.g., Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on)

• Updating Preferences: You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and refreshing the page to see the consent banner again.

Note: Disabling essential cookies will prevent the platform from functioning properly. Essential cookies are always required for authentication, security, and core features.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons.

We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page.
