Cookie Policy — Kutaisi Car Hire

Q: Who do I write to, and what should I expect back?

Write to info@carhirekutaisi.com and say plainly what you want: a copy, a correction, or a deletion. Because this page is an inventory rather than a summary, the honest answer to most requests is that the named items are all there is, and that you can already see and delete every one of them yourself. If that answer is wrong in your case, we will say so and fix it.

Read on a phone that changed country this morning

Almost nobody opens this page at a desk. They open it on a handset that cleared passport control an hour ago, on terminal wifi or on roaming data they would rather not spend, because the cheap flights into western Georgia land at Kutaisi and the car has to be settled before the arrivals hall empties. A policy read in that state has to be short, has to name things, and has to be checkable on the spot. That is the shape of this one.

The legal footing starts here rather than abroad. Car Hire Kutaisi operates from Kutaisi and answers to the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection, with the Personal Data Protection Service standing behind it as the regulator. That law, not a borrowed template from somewhere else, is the baseline for everything written below.

A second rulebook often lands with the passengers. Residents of the European Economic Area carry the General Data Protection Regulation with them in a range of situations, including when a site is clearly offering its service to them, and a gateway airport means a very large share of the people on this page fall into exactly that group. Sorting readers by passport would be absurd, so the stricter of the two standards is applied to all of them.

What follows is not a summary. It is the inventory: two cookies by name, one cache that never leaves your device, every outside host your browser touches, and a list of the things that are not here at all. No dialogue stands in front of it, because there is nothing behind it that your consent would unlock.

Which rulebook travelled in with you

The rights are not identical, so pick the line that describes where you live.

The Georgian law applies, and it has a regulator behind it

Car Hire Kutaisi is run from Kutaisi and is bound by the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection. Reduced to what you can act on, that is three things: you may ask what is held about you, you may ask for anything wrong to be corrected, and you may ask for it to be erased. The Personal Data Protection Service is the body that hears a complaint if our answer does not satisfy you.

Ask in writing at the address in the footer of this page.

A European traveller keeps European rights on the way in

The budget flights that fill this terminal come mostly from the European Economic Area, and the General Data Protection Regulation can follow a resident of the EEA across a border when a site plainly offers its service to them. This one does, so the stronger standard is the one we apply to every reader rather than to some of them. You keep a copy of what is held, correction, erasure, objection, and a complaint to the supervisory authority in the country you live in.

Georgia sits outside the EEA, so finishing a booking does move your details beyond it. That is the only way a key ends up in your hand.

Everywhere else, the same answer rather than a thinner one

If your home law is quieter than either of the two above, nothing on this page shrinks to match it. We do not keep a second, weaker version of the policy for readers whose regulator is further away. The named items further down are the whole of what exists, and they are yours to inspect and to remove on any of the three footings.

Same question, same address, same answer.

Both cookies, written out in full

A cookie policy that will not print its own cookie names is not worth the scroll, so here they are. The first is a session cookie called carhirekutaisi_s5a7611. Its name is derived from this domain and stays the same, and its one job is to let the server recognise that the request for your second page came from whoever asked for the first. Take it away and a form on this site forgets itself between one click and the next.

The second is called XSRF-TOKEN. It is the ordinary defence against a form hosted on some other website posting into this one, and it works precisely because a script on the page is allowed to read it and hand it back. Both lapse two hours after they are issued, whether you are still here or long gone.

Neither carries an advertising identifier. Neither carries a visitor number that could be joined up with a name, an email or a booking. Neither is readable by any company other than this one, for the plain reason that neither is ever sent anywhere else.

There is a third item, and it is not a cookie at all. When the grid above fills with cars, the answer is written into local storage on your own device so that moving between pages of this site does not repeat the same lookup. Local storage is never attached to a request, so that copy has no way of reaching us.

The absences, which are the interesting part

Six things a comparison site usually carries, and the reason this one has no banner.

No analytics product

Nothing on this site counts your visit, times it, or files it against a visitor number. There is no measurement tag in the source to find.

No advertising pixel

Nobody is building an audience here to show you a car advertisement in three weeks time.

No consent vendor

The banner is missing because the third party that usually sits behind one is missing.

No social embeds

No like buttons, no comment widgets, no player quietly reporting back.

No cross-site profile

This page cannot see the page you read before it, and does not try to.

Nothing sold, nothing brokered

Readers are not inventory. No list leaves this domain, no broker is paid for one, and there is no arrangement under which that could change without this page changing first.

Every outside host your browser reaches here

Open the network panel while this page loads and the list should match line for line.

Host	What it serves	What it necessarily sees
fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com	The Syne typeface the site is set in	Your address and browser version, as any request does
unpkg.com	The small library that opens the panels and the answers on this page	The same, and nothing beyond it
cdnjs.cloudflare.com	The icon set used across the site	The same, and nothing beyond it
Our image host	The photographs, reached through a redirect from this domain	The same, and which picture you loaded
static.localrent.com	The booking widget, requested only after your first touch, scroll or keypress	That a booking began at Car Hire Kutaisi

Any request on the web reveals an address and a browser version, so the first four rows are unavoidable rather than chosen. Not one of those hosts is given permission to store anything on our behalf. The fifth row is the only one you control by not clicking.

Questions this policy gets asked

To both, and deliberately to whichever of the two is stricter on a given point. Car Hire Kutaisi is established in Georgia and answers to the Law of Georgia on Personal Data Protection. A large share of the people reading it flew in from the European Economic Area and keep their rights under the General Data Protection Regulation while they are here. Running one policy at the higher standard is simpler than sorting readers by passport, so that is what this page describes.

Consent is the thing you owe a reader when you store something that goes beyond making the site work. Measure what is stored here against that test and the question answers itself: a session cookie, a form-security token, and a short-lived copy of your own search results sitting on your own device. Put a banner in front of that and you would be asking permission for the page to function, which is both pointless and, in the regimes above, not what consent is for.

The text and the photographs, a typeface, an icon set, and one small library that makes the panels open. The booking widget is by a long way the heaviest thing this site is capable of loading, and it is not requested while you are reading. The first touch, scroll or keypress starts it, which means a page you only read costs you less than a page you shop on.

Clear site data for this domain in your browser settings and all of it goes at once: both cookies and the cached searches. Doing nothing works too, on a slower clock. The cookies lapse two hours after they were issued and the cached searches expire after five minutes, with only four held at any moment and the oldest discarded first.

A different one, and the handover is the moment it changes. From that point the booking partner and the supplier holding the car in Kutaisi are the parties with a record of your reservation, and amendments, cancellations and deletion requests belong to them rather than to us. Our Kutaisi privacy policy sets out what crosses that line and what does not.

Write to [email protected] and say plainly what you want: a copy, a correction, or a deletion. Because this page is an inventory rather than a summary, the honest answer to most requests is that the named items are all there is, and that you can already see and delete every one of them yourself. If that answer is wrong in your case, we will say so and fix it.

Still unanswered? Write to [email protected]. The Kutaisi privacy policy covers what happens to a booking once it leaves this site.

Nothing above stands between you and a car

The Kutaisi board opens at about EUR 25 a day and needs no account, no banner and no permission from you to show it.
