Cookie Policy

Introduction

When you visit rentcorfu.com to search for car rental in Corfu, compare vehicle categories, or complete a reservation, your browser exchanges small data files with our servers. These files are known as cookies. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control them during your visit.

By using our website you acknowledge that cookies may be placed on your device in accordance with the choices you make through our cookie consent banner. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone when you browse. They allow the site to remember information about your visit - such as your preferred language, the dates you entered into the booking widget, or whether you have already accepted this cookie notice - so that your next visit is smoother and more relevant.

Cookies cannot execute programs, carry viruses, or access other files on your device. They are stored and read only by the website domain that originally set them, or by authorised third-party partners we describe below.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, core features - including the booking widget, the vehicle availability search, and secure payment pages - cannot operate. Because they are required for the service you have explicitly requested, they are always active and cannot be switched off via the cookie banner.

Examples include session cookies that keep you logged in while navigating between pages, CSRF tokens that protect form submissions from cross-site request forgery, and load-balancing cookies that route your requests to the correct server during busy periods such as the peak Corfu summer season in July and August.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors find and use our site. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised - we can see, for example, that many users search for airport pickup at Corfu International Airport (CFU) on Friday afternoons, but we cannot identify any individual traveller from this information.

Analytics cookies help us improve page layouts, booking flows, and information about popular driving routes such as Corfu Town to Paleokastritsa or the coastal road towards Kassiopi. You may opt out of analytics cookies through the cookie banner at any time without affecting your ability to browse or make a reservation.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make to personalise your experience. On rentcorfu.com this includes your preferred display language, currency preference, and whether you have previously dismissed informational banners. They may also store the pickup location or vehicle category you most recently viewed so that the booking widget can pre-populate relevant fields on your next visit.

Disabling functional cookies will not stop you from using the site but some preferences will need to be re-entered each session.

Marketing and Retargeting Cookies

With your consent, we may set marketing cookies to show you relevant advertisements about our Corfu car hire services when you visit other websites or social media platforms. These cookies track whether you have visited our site, which pages you viewed, and whether you started but did not complete a booking. This allows advertising networks to show you a reminder about available vehicles or current pricing.

You can withdraw consent for marketing cookies at any time through the cookie banner or by adjusting your browser settings as described below. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred while consent was active.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on rentcorfu.com are set by third-party services we use to deliver and improve the site. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them directly. Current categories of third-party cookies include:

• Analytics providers - services such as Google Analytics that collect anonymised traffic statistics. These providers act as data processors under our instruction and are contractually restricted from using data for their own purposes.
• Booking engine partners - our vehicle availability and reservation platform may set session and functional cookies necessary to display live pricing and complete your rental booking without a deposit or credit card requirement.
• Advertising networks - if you have consented to marketing cookies, partners such as Google Ads or Meta Pixel may set cookies to measure ad performance and retarget interested visitors across the web.
• Embedded maps - location embeds (such as the map showing our Corfu airport, Old Town, and New Port pickup points) may load cookies from their respective mapping providers.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties and all third-party data sharing is governed by data processing agreements consistent with applicable European Union data protection law.

How to Manage and Control Cookies

Our Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit rentcorfu.com you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. You may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or navigate to a detailed preferences panel where you can enable or disable each category individually. Your choices are stored in a consent cookie so you are not prompted on every visit.

You may revisit and change your preferences at any time by clearing the consent cookie in your browser (see browser settings below) or by contacting us at the address provided at the end of this policy.

Browser Settings

All major browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies stored on your device through their settings menus. The exact steps vary by browser and version, but you will generally find cookie controls under Settings, Privacy, or Security sections. You can block all third-party cookies, delete cookies for specific domains such as rentcorfu.com, or clear all cookies when you close the browser window.

Please note that blocking all cookies will prevent the booking widget and vehicle search from functioning correctly. We recommend blocking only non-essential categories rather than all cookies if you wish to continue using our car rental service without interruption.

Device and Mobile Settings

On iOS and Android devices you can limit ad tracking and reset advertising identifiers through your device privacy settings. These controls apply to interest-based advertising at the operating system level and work in addition to browser-level cookie settings.

How Long Do Cookies Last?

Cookies are either session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period. The table below summarises typical retention periods for each category:

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We review this Cookie Policy periodically and may update it to reflect changes in our cookie usage, new technology integrations, or evolving legal requirements under EU and Greek data protection law. When we make material changes we will update the effective date at the top of the policy and, where appropriate, notify you via the cookie consent banner on your next visit to rentcorfu.com.

We encourage you to check this page occasionally, particularly at the start of a new travel season when booking platform integrations or advertising partnerships may change.
