Cookie Policy

How kefrentcars.com uses cookies to improve your car hire experience in Keflavik, Iceland.

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how kefrentcars.com ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. We operate a car hire comparison platform serving travelers arriving at Keflavik International Airport (KEF) and throughout the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help us deliver a smoother booking experience, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our platform. By continuing to use our site, you acknowledge the use of cookies as described in this policy.

We are committed to transparency. You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time using our cookie banner or your browser settings. This policy applies to all pages on kefrentcars.com, including our fleet listings, airport pickup information, and destination guides covering areas such as Reykjanesbær, Hafnarfjörður, and Route 41 to Reykjavík.

Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise the cookies on kefrentcars.com into four groups. Each group serves a distinct purpose related to our car hire booking service.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take, such as completing a booking search form, setting your pickup date for KEF airport, or navigating between our fleet pages. Essential cookies include:

  • Session management cookies that keep your search parameters intact as you browse car categories.
  • Security tokens that protect form submissions from cross-site request forgery.
  • Load balancing cookies that ensure consistent server performance during peak booking periods.

You cannot opt out of essential cookies through our banner, as they are required for the site to work correctly. However, you may disable them via your browser, though doing so may prevent certain features from functioning.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use kefrentcars.com. The data collected is anonymised and aggregated - we do not use it to identify individual users. These cookies track:

  • Which pages are visited most frequently (e.g., airport pickup, sweet deals, fleet listings).
  • How long visitors spend on each page and where they exit the site.
  • Referral sources, including search engines and travel comparison platforms.
  • General geographic region (country level only, never pinpointing your precise location in Keflavik).

This information allows us to improve page content, refine our car hire listings, and ensure our booking widget loads efficiently on all devices.

Marketing and Retargeting Cookies

Marketing cookies are set by advertising partners to show you relevant car hire offers after you leave our site. These may include ads displayed on other websites or social media platforms, referencing searches you made on kefrentcars.com. They track:

  • Whether you clicked on a car hire listing or initiated a booking comparison.
  • Interest signals such as viewing SUV rentals, child seat add-ons, or long-term hire options.
  • Conversion tracking to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time through our cookie consent banner. Opting out will not affect your ability to browse or book on kefrentcars.com.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalisation. They remember choices you have made to improve your experience across sessions. These include:

  • Language and currency preferences selected during your visit.
  • Your most recently searched pickup location (e.g., KEF airport terminal or Reykjanesbær hotel delivery).
  • Cookie consent choices, so we do not ask you repeatedly on return visits.

Disabling functional cookies may mean that certain personalised features are no longer available during your visit.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on kefrentcars.com are placed by third-party services that we use to deliver a better booking experience. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, and we encourage you to review them directly.

Analytics Providers

We use web analytics services to collect anonymised traffic data. These providers may set their own cookies on your device in accordance with their respective data processing agreements. The data they collect helps us identify which car categories and destination guides (such as our Reykjanes Lighthouse and Viking World pages) attract the most interest from travelers.

Booking and Comparison Partners

Our car hire comparison widget is powered by third-party booking technology. When you interact with the search widget - entering pickup dates, selecting vehicle types, or comparing no-deposit rental offers - the booking partner may set cookies to track search sessions and completion rates. These cookies are necessary for the widget to function correctly and return accurate pricing for vehicles available near Keflavik airport.

Advertising Networks

We may work with digital advertising networks that set tracking cookies to measure campaign performance and deliver relevant car hire advertisements to users who have previously visited our site. These cookies may collect a pseudonymous identifier but do not store personally identifiable information such as your name or payment details.

Embedded Maps

Our pickup location pages include embedded Google Maps to help you find car hire depots near KEF airport, on Route 41, and in Reykjanesbær town. When these maps load, Google may set cookies on your device in accordance with Google's own cookie and privacy policies.

How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for controlling cookies on kefrentcars.com. We aim to make this as straightforward as possible.

Our Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit kefrentcars.com, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the page. You may accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored in a functional cookie so that we do not prompt you again on subsequent visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.

Enabling "Limit Ad Tracking" (iOS) or "Opt out of Ads Personalisation" (Android) will restrict how advertising partners can use device identifiers in conjunction with cookies collected on kefrentcars.com.

Opt-Out Tools from Third Parties

You may also opt out of interest-based advertising from participating networks through the Your Online Choices platform (youronlinechoices.eu) or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tool (optout.networkadvertising.org).
