Cookies Policy
SkynTravel uses cookies and similar technologies to support its car rental platform, improve website functionality, and understand how customers interact with rental services. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they are used, and how cookie preferences can be managed.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on a device when a website is accessed. They allow a website to recognize a device and remember certain information between visits.
Cookies can help maintain booking sessions, remember selected rental options, support secure transactions, and improve the overall car rental booking process.
How Cookies Are Used
SkynTravel may use cookies for several purposes related to car rental services, including:
- Maintaining active booking sessions
- Remembering selected vehicles and rental dates
- Saving relevant preferences
- Supporting secure account functions
- Processing and managing reservations
- Improving website performance
- Identifying technical errors
- Understanding how rental pages are used
- Supporting security and fraud prevention
- Improving navigation and booking functionality
For example, a cookie may help retain a selected vehicle while a customer moves between different booking pages.
Types of Cookies
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies support functions required for the car rental platform to operate correctly.
They may be used to maintain booking sessions, process reservations, manage account functions, and support website security.
Because these cookies support essential services, disabling them may affect certain booking features.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember selected preferences and settings. They can help provide a more consistent experience when customers return to the platform.
These cookies may remember information such as language preferences or previously selected website settings.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help measure how visitors use the car rental platform.
Information collected through these cookies may show which pages receive traffic, how users move through the booking process, and where technical or usability problems occur.
This information helps identify areas that require improvement without necessarily identifying individual customers.
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies may be used to understand website speed, reliability, and technical performance.
The information can help identify slow pages, failed functions, or other issues that could affect the vehicle search and booking experience.
Advertising Cookies
Where applicable, advertising cookies may be used to understand interactions with promotional content or measure the performance of advertising campaigns.
These cookies may allow advertising services to recognize a browser across different websites. Their use depends on the available consent options and applicable privacy requirements.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used to operate the car rental platform.
These services may include payment providers, analytics services, security tools, customer support systems, or other technology providers.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the relevant third party and may be subject to that provider’s own privacy policy.
Booking and Session Cookies
Car rental bookings often require temporary session information. Session cookies can help maintain a customer’s selected rental information while moving through different stages of the booking process.
These cookies may expire when the browser session ends or after a defined period.
Without appropriate session functionality, selected vehicle details, rental dates, or booking information may not remain available during the reservation process.
Cookie Preferences
Where required, SkynTravel may provide cookie preference controls that allow customers to accept or reject certain categories of cookies.
Essential cookies may remain active because they are necessary for core website functions.
Optional cookie categories may be managed according to the choices available through the cookie settings interface.
Managing Cookies Through a Browser
Most modern browsers allow cookies to be controlled through their settings.
Browser controls may allow users to:
- View stored cookies
- Delete existing cookies
- Block specific cookies
- Block third-party cookies
- Allow cookies from selected websites
- Delete cookies automatically when the browser closes
Disabling cookies may affect some car rental functions. For example, vehicle selections, booking sessions, or account features may not work correctly when essential cookies are blocked.
Cookies and Personal Information
Cookies do not always identify an individual directly. However, certain cookie identifiers may be associated with information that can relate to a customer or device.
Where cookie information is combined with personal information, it is handled according to applicable privacy requirements and the SkynTravel Privacy Policy.
Security and Fraud Prevention
Certain cookies and similar technologies may support security measures used to protect the car rental platform.
They can help detect unusual activity, prevent unauthorized access, identify suspicious transactions, and reduce fraudulent booking activity.
These technologies help protect both customers and rental services from misuse.
Cookie Duration
Cookies may be either session-based or persistent.
Session cookies remain active for a limited period, generally until the browsing session ends.
Persistent cookies remain on a device for a defined period or until they are manually deleted.
The retention period depends on the purpose of the cookie and the service that places it.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
SkynTravel may update this Cookie Policy when website features, car rental services, technology, or legal requirements change.
Updates may include changes to the types of cookies used, their purposes, or the methods available for managing cookie preferences.
The latest version of this policy should be reviewed periodically for current information.
