Van Rentals Tsiakardonis — Cookies Policy
Cookie Policy for Van Rentals Tsiakardonis. This describes how we may use cookies and similar technologies when you browse our website. We respect your privacy and explain below what cookies are, how they may affect you, and how you can manage your choices.
Depending on updates to our website or the tools connected to it, we may personalize content where applicable, analyse how our pages are used, and work with reputable partners who help measure visibility and enquiries (for example, analytics or embedded maps). Where cookies are tied to providers such as analytics or embedded content, those providers operate under their own policies.
What are cookies?
As with most professional websites, we may place cookies: small files stored on your device to help navigation, preferences, statistics, security, or third-party integrations behave correctly. This page describes what categories you may encounter, why they exist, and how you can control them. For general technical background, see the Wikipedia article on HTTP cookies.
How we use cookies
We use cookies only where they add value: for example to keep the site reliable, to understand which pages are useful to visitors, or to support optional features (such as maps or contact forms). In many cases there is no simple “off” switch for a single category without affecting how the page works; we suggest keeping essential cookies enabled unless you are sure you do not need the related feature.
Disabling cookies
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings (see your browser’s help section). Note that disabling cookies may limit parts of this site or break features that depend on them (for example embedded maps or form delivery through a third-party provider).
The cookies you may encounter
Necessary
Strictly necessary cookies help make our website usable: security-related tokens, routing and load balancing from our hosting/CDN provider, or similar technical cookies needed for stability. The site may not function correctly without them.
| Provider | Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting / CDN (e.g. Vercel, Netlify, or comparable) | E.g. _vercel*, __stripe_* (if payment added), varies | DDoS mitigation, routing, HTTPS, firewall and session affinity for stable delivery. | Session–1 year |
Exact names depend on deployment; your browser’s developer tools (“Application” → “Cookies”) list what is set for your session.
Statistics (Google Analytics)
If we activate Google Analytics or a similar service, statistic cookies help us understand how visitors browse our pages anonymously (for example approximate region, landing pages, dwell time).
| Provider | Cookie | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | _ga | Distinct ID used to generate statistical usage data. | Typically 2 years |
| Google Analytics | _ga_* | Session / cohort data for GA4 installations. | Typically 2 years |
| Google Analytics | _gid | Distinct ID for session-level statistics. | Typically 1 day |
| Google Analytics | _gat | Request throttling for the measurement tag. | Typically 1 minute |
If no analytics tag is installed, these rows will not apply. You can request confirmation by email below.
Marketing & embedded media
When we run advertising or retargeting (for example Google Ads) or embed video from YouTube, additional cookies or pixels may be set to measure campaigns or save player preferences. Our primary marketing site may include a third-party script for measurement and optimisation; that provider may set its own cookies under its policy.
| Provider | Example | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | Conversion / audience pixels (e.g. ads/ga-audiences) | Ad relevance and conversion measurement across sites where applicable. | Session–90 days |
| YouTube (Google) | VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC, yt-remote-* | Bandwidth estimation, video statistics, and player preferences when a YouTube embed is used. | Session–persistent |
| Partner script (e.g. communication / analytics) | Vendor-specific | May support session insights or campaign tags as described by the provider. | Varies |
Where we use only locally hosted video or static content, fewer third-party media cookies apply. If you do not see YouTube embeds on a page, YouTube rows may not be relevant for that visit.
Third-party cookies
Our website may include services from trusted third parties. For example, Google Maps on the contact section can set cookies managed by Google when you interact with the map. Our contact form may be processed through a provider such as Formsubmit (or another endpoint we configure); that step happens on their infrastructure and is subject to their documentation and security practices.
We do not control these third-party cookies. Please review Google’s and any other relevant partner policies for more detail. For Google Analytics, see Google’s product documentation; for Google Ads and related tags, see Google’s advertising policies.
More information
We aim to keep this notice clear. If you are unsure whether you need a particular category of cookies enabled, leaving them on is usually the safer option so that forms, maps, and security features keep working as intended.
Under applicable law (including the EU GDPR), you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection regarding personal data we process as a data controller. For van rental quotes and customer service, contact us using the details below. You may also lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority.
