1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit rentcarsfortlauderdale.com.
rentcarsfortlauderdale.com is an informational website that presents car rental information and may display or embed search forms, comparison tools, or other widgets provided by independent car rental companies and booking platforms.
It is important to note that rentcarsfortlauderdale.com does not set its own cookies and does not use its own tracking technologies to monitor visitors. Any cookies that may be stored on your device when you use this website come from third-party services that are embedded or linked through our pages.
This policy describes:
- What cookies are in general terms.
- How third-party providers may use cookies when their tools appear on our website.
- How you can control or manage cookies through your browser and other tools.
- How we approach security in relation to cookies and third-party services.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer, mobile phone, or other device when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work, to keep them secure, and to provide information to website owners.
A cookie typically contains:
- The name of the website that set the cookie.
- A unique identifier (for example, a string of numbers or letters).
- The duration for which the cookie will remain on your device.
Cookies can serve many different purposes, such as:
- Remembering your preferences on a website (for example, language or region).
- Helping you stay logged in to an account on a service.
- Collecting statistics about how visitors use a site.
- Showing content or advertisements that may be more relevant to you.
In addition to traditional cookies, websites and service providers may use similar technologies, such as:
- Local storage in your browser.
- Tracking pixels or web beacons.
- Software development kits (SDKs) in mobile applications.
rentcarsfortlauderdale.com itself does not directly use or manage these technologies. However, third-party services that appear or operate through our website may use them to support their own functionality, analytics, or advertising.
3. Third-Party Cookies
rentcarsfortlauderdale.com may display or embed tools, such as search forms, booking engines, price comparison widgets, or other JavaScript-based features provided by independent car rental companies and booking platforms. When these third-party tools are loaded, they may place cookies on your device.
These cookies are set and controlled by the respective third-party providers, not by rentcarsfortlauderdale.com. We do not have access to the contents of these cookies and we do not use them to identify you personally.
Depending on the provider, third-party cookies may be used for purposes such as:
-
Functional cookies
These help the third-party tool operate correctly. For example, they may:- Remember your search criteria (such as pickup location, dates, or vehicle type).
- Keep your session active while you move between pages of their booking process.
- Ensure the technical performance of the embedded widget or search form.
-
Analytics and performance cookies
These help the third-party provider understand how their tools and pages are used. For example, they may:- Count how many users perform a search or complete a booking on their platform.
- Measure the performance of their widgets and pages.
- Identify technical issues, such as errors or slow loading times.
-
Advertising and marketing cookies
These may be used by the provider or their partners to:- Show ads related to car rentals or travel on other websites or apps.
- Limit how often a particular advertisement is shown to you.
- Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
While these cookies may be set when you visit rentcarsfortlauderdale.com, they are managed entirely by the third-party providers for their own purposes. Examples of actions they may perform include saving your search filters or tracking conversions on their platforms.
rentcarsfortlauderdale.com:
- Does not set any first-party cookies for tracking or profiling.
- Does not store third-party cookies on its own servers.
- Does not have direct access to the information stored in third-party cookies.
- Does not create user profiles based on cookie data.
In some cases, third-party providers may share with us high-level, aggregated statistics (for example, the number of clicks or completed bookings originating from our website). These statistics do not allow us to identify individual visitors and do not give us access to cookie-level data.
Because these cookies are controlled by external companies, we recommend that you review the cookie or privacy policies of the specific car rental providers and booking platforms whose services you choose to use. Their policies will explain in more detail how they use cookies, which types they set, and how you can manage your choices on their services.
4. Managing Cookies
You have control over how cookies are used on your devices. Even though rentcarsfortlauderdale.com does not set cookies directly, you may still wish to manage or limit cookies that are set by third-party services displayed on our website.
Most web browsers allow you to:
- View the cookies that are stored on your device.
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block all cookies or block cookies from specific websites.
- Set your browser to notify you before a cookie is placed.
The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use, but usually you can find cookie controls in the browser’s settings or preferences area, often under sections such as “Privacy”, “Security”, or “Site settings”.
For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the help or support pages of your browser. Common browser providers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) provide up-to-date guides on how to:
- Disable or restrict cookies.
- Clear browsing data, including cookies and cached files.
- Set site-specific permissions for cookies and other content.
Many third-party services also offer their own tools or settings that allow you to manage cookie preferences directly on their websites or within their widgets. For example, you may see cookie banners, preference centers, or account settings where you can choose which types of cookies you accept.
Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies used by third-party car rental providers or booking platforms:
- Some embedded tools or search forms on rentcarsfortlauderdale.com may not function correctly.
- You may be unable to complete certain actions, such as performing a search or finalizing a booking with the provider.
- Your preferences may not be remembered between visits.
These effects depend entirely on how each third-party service is designed and are outside the control of rentcarsfortlauderdale.com.
5. Data Security
Because rentcarsfortlauderdale.com does not set its own cookies or operate its own tracking scripts, we do not store cookie files or cookie-derived information about visitors on our servers.
Any data that is collected through cookies when you interact with third-party widgets or booking tools is processed and stored by those external providers under their own policies and security practices. They are responsible for:
- How their cookies are implemented and managed.
- What information their cookies collect.
- How long their cookies remain on your device.
- How they secure the data associated with those cookies.
rentcarsfortlauderdale.com does not have direct insight into or control over the detailed technical measures used by each third-party provider. However, we aim to work only with reputable services and to embed their tools in a way that is consistent with their intended use.
We also take general steps to keep our website environment secure, such as using recognized hosting providers and maintaining our site software. These measures are intended to protect our site from unauthorized access or modifications, but they do not change the fact that cookie data from third-party tools remains under the control of those external providers.
If you have concerns about the security or use of data collected through cookies by a specific car rental company or booking platform, we encourage you to contact that provider directly or consult the information and support channels they make available.
