Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Kutaisi Car Rental, operating the website at kutaisicarrental.com, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our site to compare vehicle rental options in Kutaisi, Imereti, Georgia. By reading this policy, you will understand what cookies we place on your device, why we use them, how long they remain active, and what controls you have over them.

Please read this document alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context about how we handle personal data in connection with your vehicle rental searches and bookings made through this platform.

What Are Cookies and Why Do We Use Them

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They are widely used across the internet to make websites function efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide website owners with information about how visitors interact with their content.

At kutaisicarrental.com, our primary purpose is to help travelers compare vehicle rental options near Kutaisi International Airport, across Imereti, and for road trips toward destinations like Prometheus Cave, Martvili Canyon, Batumi, and the Svaneti highlands. Cookies help us deliver a smoother, more relevant experience for every visitor - whether you are searching for a last-minute economy car or planning a month-long rental through the Georgian countryside.

We use cookies to keep the booking search widget functional, to understand which vehicle categories attract the most interest, to remember display preferences between visits, and to support the advertising partnerships that allow us to keep this comparison service freely available to travelers.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate. Without them, core features such as the vehicle search form, session continuity between pages, and security protections could not function. Essential cookies do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie banner, although you can block them in your browser settings - doing so will significantly impair your ability to use the site.

Examples of what essential cookies handle on kutaisicarrental.com include maintaining your active session as you move between the homepage, fleet overview, and individual offer pages; storing a security token to protect form submissions from cross-site request forgery; and remembering whether you have acknowledged our cookie consent notice so we do not display it on every page load.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use kutaisicarrental.com. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized - we cannot use it to identify individual users. We analyze metrics such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long users spend comparing vehicle categories, which search combinations (for example, SUV rental near Kutaisi airport with unlimited mileage) generate the most engagement, and where visitors drop off in the booking funnel.

This information directly improves the site. If analytics show that travelers searching for a 7-seater family rental in Kutaisi struggle to find relevant results, we prioritize improving that section. The insights help us serve the Kutaisi travel community better over time.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features that go beyond strict necessity but are nonetheless useful to your experience. On kutaisicarrental.com these include remembering your preferred display language if you switch from English, storing your last-used search parameters (such as pickup location set to Kutaisi International Airport or a preferred vehicle category), and recalling whether you have previously dismissed informational banners.

Functional cookies do not track you across external websites. If you decline them, the website will still work, but certain conveniences - such as having your search pre-populated on a return visit - will not be available.

Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Marketing cookies are placed by us or our advertising partners to show you relevant vehicle rental offers on other websites after you have visited kutaisicarrental.com. For example, if you browsed SUV options for a road trip from Kutaisi to Mestia but did not complete a booking, you may see relevant retargeting advertisements on partner networks as a reminder.

These cookies track browsing behavior across sites and build a profile of your interests in order to display more relevant advertising. We only deploy marketing cookies with your explicit consent, which you can grant or withdraw through our cookie consent banner at any time.

Third-Party Cookies on This Site

In addition to cookies we set directly, certain third-party services integrated into kutaisicarrental.com may place their own cookies on your device. We do not have direct control over third-party cookies, and their use is governed by each provider's own privacy and cookie policies.

Third-party services currently integrated with this site may include web analytics platforms that process anonymized traffic data to help us improve site performance, vehicle rental booking engine partners whose search widgets are embedded in the site and which may set session or preference cookies of their own, and advertising networks that serve display and retargeting campaigns to visitors who have previously searched for car hire in Kutaisi or the wider Imereti region.

Where possible, we configure these integrations with privacy-preserving settings such as IP anonymization and limited data sharing. We encourage you to review the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party service whose cookies appear on this site if you would like more detailed information.

How to Manage and Control Your Cookie Preferences

Using Our Cookie Consent Banner

When you visit kutaisicarrental.com for the first time, a cookie consent notice is displayed. Through this banner you can accept all cookie categories, decline non-essential cookies, or adjust your preferences by category. You can revisit and update these choices at any time - simply clear your browser cookies and reload the site to trigger the banner again, or contact us directly at info@kutaisicarrental.com and we will assist you.

Browser-Level Cookie Controls

All major browsers include built-in tools for managing cookies. You can configure your browser to block all cookies, to block third-party cookies only, to delete cookies when you close the browser, or to alert you each time a site attempts to set a cookie. Instructions for the most widely used browsers are available via their respective help centers - search for "manage cookies" in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Opera to find the relevant settings page for your version.

Please note that blocking all cookies will prevent the vehicle search widget from functioning correctly on kutaisicarrental.com, as it relies on session cookies to process your rental search parameters.

Device and Mobile Settings

On iOS and Android devices, operating system-level privacy settings allow you to limit ad tracking and cross-app data sharing. These controls operate independently from browser cookie settings and can provide an additional layer of privacy if you frequently search for vehicle rental options on mobile while traveling through Kutaisi or connecting via Kutaisi International Airport.

Opt-Out Tools Provided by Third Parties

If you wish to opt out of interest-based advertising delivered by our advertising network partners, you may use industry opt-out tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out portal, the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page, or the equivalent tools available in your country or region. These tools set an opt-out cookie in your browser; clearing cookies will remove the opt-out preference and you will need to re-apply it.

How Long Cookies Remain on Your Device

Cookies have varying lifespans depending on their purpose. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser tab or window - these are used primarily to maintain your active search session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period after your visit and are used for functions such as remembering your preferences or enabling retargeting advertising.

Essential session cookies on kutaisicarrental.com expire at the end of your browsing session. Cookie consent preference cookies are stored for up to 12 months so that we do not prompt you on every visit. Analytics cookies typically have a lifespan of between 13 and 26 months depending on the provider's standard configuration. Marketing and retargeting cookies generally expire between 30 and 90 days after they are set. Functional preference cookies are stored for up to 6 months.

You can delete any or all cookies stored by this site at any time through your browser settings, regardless of their set expiry date.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, changes in applicable law, or updates to our advertising and analytics partnerships. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date shown at the bottom of this page. If the changes are significant, we may also display a notice on the kutaisicarrental.com homepage or re-trigger the cookie consent banner so that returning visitors are made aware.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically, particularly if you are a regular visitor who uses our site to track seasonal vehicle rental deals in Kutaisi or to plan recurring trips through Imereti.
