Cookie Use Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. They allow the site to remember information about your session - such as which pages you viewed, how long you stayed, and any preferences you set - so that your next visit or the next page you load works correctly and consistently.

At larcarrent.com, we operate a car hire comparison and reservation platform serving visitors travelling to Larnaka, Larnaca district, Cyprus. Our site connects you with local vehicle suppliers across pickup points including Larnaka International Airport, Finikoudes seafront, and various hotel delivery zones throughout the region. In order for these functions to work reliably and for us to continue improving the experience, we rely on a small number of cookie categories explained below.

By continuing to use our website after seeing our cookie notice, you acknowledge the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. You may withdraw or adjust consent at any time using the methods described in the section on managing your preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, core features such as the booking search form, session authentication, and secure payment handoff to our vehicle partners cannot operate. Essential cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled through our cookie banner without breaking the site.

Examples of essential cookies used on larcarrent.com include session tokens that keep your search parameters intact as you move between the results page and the vehicle detail view, as well as security tokens that protect form submissions against cross-site request forgery.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest and contractual necessity. These cookies are placed automatically when you access the site and are not subject to opt-in consent under applicable law.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with larcarrent.com. The data collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible, meaning it does not identify you personally. Information gathered includes which pages receive the most traffic, how long visitors spend on the search results or vehicle comparison pages, and which device types and browsers are most common among users arriving from Larnaka, Limassol, Nicosia, and other origin points.

We use this data to improve the layout of the booking flow, prioritise which vehicle categories to feature, and identify technical errors that might prevent a successful reservation. You may opt out of analytics cookies via our cookie banner or by following the browser and device instructions further below.

Marketing and Retargeting Cookies

If you have given consent, marketing cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners to display relevant car hire offers to you on other websites and platforms after you have visited larcarrent.com. These cookies track whether you viewed a specific vehicle category, started but did not complete a booking, or searched for availability in a particular date range for Larnaka airport pickup.

Retargeting data is pseudonymous and is processed in accordance with the privacy policies of the relevant advertising networks. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. You may withdraw marketing cookie consent at any time through our cookie preference centre or your browser settings.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make to personalise your experience on our platform. This includes your preferred currency display, the language you selected, whether you previously dismissed our cookie notice, and any filter preferences you applied to the vehicle search results - such as filtering for automatic transmission or no-deposit car hire options in Larnaka.

Disabling functional cookies will not prevent you from using the site, but you may find that some preferences need to be set again on each visit.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on larcarrent.com are placed not by us but by third-party services we have integrated to provide certain functionality. These third parties operate under their own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review independently. The main categories of third parties whose cookies may appear on our site include:

• Analytics providers - We may use services such as Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage statistics. Google's data processing terms govern how this data is handled. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using Google's own opt-out browser add-on.
• Booking and reservation partners - When you complete a vehicle reservation through our platform, the confirmation and payment steps may involve our vehicle supply partners or booking engine providers. These partners may set cookies related to the transaction process, session continuity, and fraud prevention.
• Advertising networks - Where marketing cookies are active, advertising networks may collect data to serve relevant car hire and travel-related advertisements on third-party websites. These networks operate independently of larcarrent.com and have their own opt-out mechanisms.
• Embedded map services - Pages on our site that display maps of Larnaka pickup locations, including the area around Larnaka International Airport and Finikoudes seafront, may embed map services that set their own cookies when the map frame loads.

We periodically review the third-party integrations active on our platform and update this policy accordingly. If you have concerns about a specific third-party service, please contact us using the details at the end of this page.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

Our Cookie Banner

When you first visit larcarrent.com, a cookie consent notice is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You may accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or access the preference centre to make granular choices by category. Your selection is stored in a consent cookie so we do not prompt you again on subsequent visits unless your consent has expired or you clear your browser data.

Browser Settings

Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menus. The exact steps vary by browser:

• Google Chrome - Settings, then Privacy and security, then Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox - Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari - Preferences, then Privacy, then Manage Website Data.
• Microsoft Edge - Settings, then Cookies and site permissions, then Cookies and site data.

Please be aware that blocking all cookies through your browser may prevent certain features of larcarrent.com from functioning correctly, including the vehicle search form and booking session handling.

Device-Level Settings

On mobile devices, advertising and tracking preferences can often be adjusted through the operating system privacy settings. On iOS, visit Settings, then Privacy and Security, then Tracking. On Android, visit Settings, then Google, then Ads. These controls affect app-level advertising identifiers but may not directly control cookies set in your mobile browser.

Data Retention and Cookie Lifespans

Different cookies remain active for different lengths of time depending on their purpose:

• Session cookies are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser tab or window. They are used for features such as keeping your search active while you browse multiple vehicle options.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a fixed period after you leave the site. The duration varies by cookie type: functional preference cookies typically persist for 30 to 180 days, analytics cookies for up to 13 months, and marketing or retargeting cookies for up to 90 days in most cases.
• Consent record cookies which store your cookie banner choices are typically retained for 12 months, after which your preferences will be requested again.

You can delete any cookie at any time by clearing your browser data. This will also remove your stored consent record, meaning you will be presented with the cookie notice on your next visit to larcarrent.com.
