Cookie Policy

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They enable core features such as session management, security protection against cross-site request forgery, and maintaining your place in the booking flow as you move between pages. Without these cookies, services such as the vehicle search widget, booking confirmation, and form submissions would not operate correctly.

Examples include session identifiers, security tokens, and load-balancing cookies. Essential cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie banner because the site cannot function without them. They are typically session cookies that expire when you close your browser.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with krakowcarrental.com. We collect anonymised data such as which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors stay on the site, which vehicle categories attract the most interest, and what search paths lead to completed bookings. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

We use this information to improve the site - for example, to make it easier to find no-deposit vehicle rental deals, to refine the airport pickup search flow, or to ensure pages load quickly for visitors arriving from Wawel, Kazimierz, or Nowa Huta. Analytics cookies are typically retained for up to 13 months.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make on the site so we can provide a more personalised experience. This includes your preferred language, your selected currency for price display, and previously searched pickup or drop-off locations such as KRK Airport or Kraków city centre. These cookies make repeat visits faster and reduce the need to re-enter the same information each time.

Functional cookies are usually persistent cookies that remain on your device for a defined period after your visit, typically between 30 days and 12 months, depending on the specific cookie.

Marketing and Retargeting Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you based on your browsing behaviour. If you have searched for car hire in Kraków on our site and then visit other websites, you may see advertisements related to our vehicle rental services. These cookies track your visits across different websites to build a profile of your interests.

Marketing cookies are set by our advertising partners. They do not store directly personal information but are based on a unique identifier for your browser and device. You may opt out of marketing cookies using our cookie banner or via your browser settings without affecting your ability to use the core site.
