Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and tracking technologies are, how OneCarRental Corfu uses them, and how you can manage your privacy preferences.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files placed on your browser or device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make web applications work efficiently, preserve user progress (such as car selection), provide secure login or booking sessions, and supply reporting insights to website owners.

Some cookies are “session cookies” (which expire when you close your browser), while others are “persistent cookies” (which remain for a predetermined duration or until you manually clear them).

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

🔒 Strictly Essential Cookies

These cookies are vital for the core operation of 1carental.com. They enable booking workflow persistence, prevent fraudulent form submissions (CSRF security), and memorize whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies. Under EU/GDPR regulations, strictly essential cookies do not require prior consent.

⚙️ Preferences & Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember choices you make, such as language preferences, currency display, and recently examined fleet vehicles, providing a more personalized booking experience.

📊 Analytics & Performance Cookies

These allow us to track aggregated visitor patterns, most sought-after rental locations, and site errors. Information collected is pseudonymized and used exclusively to optimize rental flows and site speed.

📢 Advertising & Marketing Cookies

These cookies assist in tracking the performance of online promotion campaigns and help deliver relevant vehicle offers when you browse other websites or social networks. They are only activated with your explicit consent.
