Cookie Policy
How baricarrent.com uses cookies and how you can manage your preferences.
What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit baricarrent.com. They help us deliver a reliable, personalised experience when you browse our car rental options, check availability for pickup at Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport (BRI), or complete a booking without a credit card deposit.
We use cookies to remember your preferences, understand how visitors find us, measure site performance, and ensure our no-deposit booking process works smoothly across sessions. Without certain cookies, features like saved search dates or language preferences would reset on every page load.
This policy explains which cookies we set, why, and how long they last. It applies to all pages on baricarrent.com, including content about car hire in Bari, Polignano a Mare day trips, and airport pickup guides for Bari and Brindisi.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They handle secure sessions, protect against cross-site request forgery, and maintain your booking state as you move between pages. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core site functionality. Examples include session identifiers and security tokens used during the car reservation flow.
Analytics Cookies
We use anonymised analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our pages - which search queries bring travelers to our Bari airport pickup guide, how long visitors spend comparing rental categories, and which pages lead to completed bookings. All data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Analytics help us improve the booking experience for debit-card customers and first-time visitors to Puglia.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience. This includes your selected language, preferred currency for viewing rental prices, and whether you have dismissed an information notice. For example, if you switch the site to English while researching car hire from Bari Centrale station, a functional cookie remembers that setting on your next visit.
Marketing and Retargeting Cookies
With your consent, we may set marketing cookies that help us show relevant car rental offers to visitors who have previously browsed our site. These cookies may be set by advertising networks and allow us to reach travelers who searched for no-deposit rentals in Bari but did not complete a booking. You can opt out of marketing cookies at any time via our cookie banner or browser settings.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on baricarrent.com are set by trusted third parties whose services we use to operate the site and process bookings. These include:
- Analytics providers - services such as Google Analytics that measure traffic patterns and user journeys, including searches for car hire near Piazza del Ferrarese and Bari Vecchia.
- Booking engine partners - our reservation platform may set cookies to track search sessions and hold selected vehicles during the booking process, ensuring your chosen car is reserved without a deposit charge.
- Advertising networks - where marketing cookies are accepted, third-party advertising partners may set cookies to serve relevant ads across other websites you visit.
- Social media platforms - if you interact with any social sharing features on our pages, those platforms may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.
We do not sell personal data to third parties. Third-party cookies are subject to each provider's own cookie and privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
