Cookie Policy — Batumi Car Hire

Checkable, not claimed

The inventory, item by item

In force from 17 October 2026. Batumi Hire Car is an affiliate: we publish live listings for Batumi and hand the booking to the supplier who owns the car, which is why this page is as short as it is. Three groups follow. What this domain sets, what it parks outside the cookie jar, and what it never loads at all. Press the developer tools shortcut on any page here and the first two groups should match line for line.

Cookies this domain sets

Two, both strictly necessary, both first party. Neither carries an advertising identifier and neither is read by anyone but this site.

Name: batumihirecar_s90919f
Job: Keeps one visit joined up
Lifetime: Two hours
Script can read it: No, it is HttpOnly
Name: XSRF-TOKEN
Job: Proves a form post is genuine
Lifetime: Two hours
Script can read it: Yes, that is the mechanism

Kept outside the cookie jar

Local storage sits on your device and is never attached to a request, so this never travels to a server of ours.

Key prefix: lrCars:v3
Holds: Your most recent car searches
Kept at most: Four searches
Lifetime: Five minutes
Language choice: Lives in the address, stored nowhere
Ever uploaded: No

Never loaded on any page

Open the page source and search for them. There is no tag to find, which is the whole reason no consent wall stands in front of this site.

Analytics product: None
Advertising pixel: None
Social media embed: None
Consent vendor: None
Cross-site profiling: None
Data sold or brokered: None

A single visit, from open to close

The same facts laid along a clock, because when something disappears matters more than what it is called.

The page opens
Two hours

Your browser receives exactly two cookies and nothing else: the session cookie named above, which keeps one visit joined up, and XSRF-TOKEN, which lets a form posted from here prove it came from here. Both lapse two hours after they are issued, whether you stay or not.
The grid fills
Five minutes

Loading cars writes the answer into your own browser under a key starting lrCars:v3. Four of those are held at most and the oldest is thrown away first. It exists so that moving from one page of this site to the next does not repeat the same lookup, and it expires on its own.
You press Book
Partner policy

Until this moment the booking partner has sent your browser nothing at all, because its script is not even requested until you interact with the page. Pressing Book carries you to the supplier holding the car, with a marker saying the reservation began at Batumi Hire Car. What is stored from there belongs to that partner.
You close the tab
Nothing left

No profile of you survives on our side to expire later, because none was built. The cached searches age out, the two cookies lapse, and clearing site data for this domain removes every item on this page at once and immediately.

Switch it off, and what stops working

Nothing here objects to being blocked. It is worth knowing which of the three settings costs you only speed and which one can cost you a reservation.

Refusing storage for this site only

Every browser can block or wipe site data for one address, usually from the site settings menu beside the address bar, or from a site data screen in the browser preferences. Do it here and the cost is a fraction of a second: the car grid simply runs a fresh lookup each time instead of reusing the copy it made a few minutes ago. The listings, the prices and the Book button all behave normally.

What vanishes is only the cached result, and it vanishes from your device rather than from a server, because that is the only place it was ever written.

Refusing third-party cookies everywhere

This is the setting worth thinking about before you hire. Reading and comparing cars for Batumi is unaffected, since nothing on the reading side is third party. The handover is the fragile part: the booking partner uses its own cookies to keep a half-finished reservation attached to the car it began on, so a booking can lose your selection at the supplier screen with those blocked.

If that happens, the listing still carries a plain link to the supplier that works without any of it, so the fallback is to start again from the card rather than to change your browser settings.

Incognito windows, and hiring from a phone

A private window blocks nothing while it is open. It discards the lot when you close it, so a half-planned trip down the coast will not be waiting for you tomorrow morning. Phone browsers follow the same rule, and a phone is where most Batumi bookings are actually made.

One thing a private window does not cover: if a link from here opens a separate app, a maps app for the drive to Sarpi for instance, that app keeps its own storage under its own rules and this page does not reach it.

Why no banner stands in front of this page

Consent exists for storage that watches you. A session cookie that forgets you in two hours and a list of cars sitting on your own laptop are not that, so asking you to approve them would be theatre, and a wall between a traveller and a price list is a poor trade for theatre. The day anything on this site is added for a purpose beyond making the page work, this text is rewritten before the switch is flipped rather than after, and the date at the top of the first section is how you check that claim.

Batumi reads this page from an unusual number of places at once. The coast road south runs out at Sarpi and becomes Turkey, the inland road climbs towards Armenia, and a working day here brings travellers off a flight, off the Tbilisi highway and over a land border within the same hour. Different legal orders therefore have a claim on the same journey. That question is real, but it belongs on the Batumi privacy policy, which sets out which rules answer which question, who supervises us in Georgia and what a visitor resident in Europe can demand. This page stays on the narrower question of what the browser stores and for how long, and the two documents are deliberately written not to repeat each other.

Two closing notes. Whether a hire car may cross a frontier at all is a permission the supplier grants on the rental agreement rather than anything to do with storage, so the terms of use cover it. And this policy is drafted in English and translated afterwards as a courtesy, so where a translated sentence and the English one disagree, the English one is the binding version.

What readers ask about this page

Because a banner would be asking permission for something that is not here. Consent is required for storage that goes beyond making a site work, and the only two cookies this domain sets are a session cookie and a form-security token, both gone within two hours. With no analytics product and no advertising pixel on any page, there is nothing left to refuse.

Two reasons, both mechanical. A session cookie is what lets the server recognise that the request for the second page came from whoever asked for the first, which is what keeps a form on this site behaving sensibly across a click. The token cookie is the standard defence against a form hosted elsewhere posting into this one. Neither identifies you and neither is worth anything to an advertiser.

Four kinds, and you can watch all of them in the network panel. Fonts come from Google Fonts, the small interaction library and the icon set come from public script and style mirrors, and the photographs come from our own image host. Those requests necessarily reveal an IP address and a browser version, as any request on the web does. None of them sets a cookie on our behalf.

You stop being a reader of this site and become a customer of a company that holds a car in Batumi. The booking partner script loads, sets its own cookies and reads the marker that tells it where the reservation started. That handover is where a different policy takes over, and the booking screen names it. Our Batumi privacy policy covers which law reaches that transfer.

No. Nothing on this page lasts a month, and nothing on this page is written to a record with your name on it. If you need the booking itself amended or deleted, that request belongs to the supplier printed on your voucher rather than to us, because the supplier is the one holding it.

Anything this page leaves open goes to [email protected]. The privacy policy handles the data side and the terms of use handle the booking side.
