Cookies on This Site

Tiranadrive Tirana · Tirana, Albania

Cookies are how a browser and a website recognise each other from one page load to the next. This policy lists, in plain language, every cookie that can reach your device while you browse tiranadrive.com or search for a rental car in Tirana: who sets it, what job it does, and how long it stays on your machine. Tiranadrive Tirana is a booking site, not the garage that hands you the keys. The cars shown in our search results come from local Tirana partners connected through the LocalRent booking platform, and the rental agreement itself is between you and that supplier. A number of the cookies below belong to LocalRent rather than to us, and they exist purely so a search that starts on this site can turn into a confirmed reservation.

We run no advertising network on this site, we do not build a profile of who you are, and we never sell browsing data. The sections that follow cover everything a privacy tool could find here.

What a cookie actually is

A cookie is a small text value that your browser stores at a website's request and then sends back on later visits to that same site. It cannot read your files, run software, or peek into other tabs; it just gives a stateless connection a short memory. Some cookies disappear the moment you close the browser tab, which is what "session" means in the table further down this page. Others carry an expiry date and remain until that date passes or you clear them, which is what "persistent" means.

Two close relatives work the same way in practice. Browser local storage holds small values without sending them on every request, and a script loaded from a partner domain, such as the booking widget, can read cookies that domain has already set. Everything explained here applies equally to those techniques, so treat "cookie" as shorthand for the whole group.

Cookie categories and how long each one lives

Individual cookie names change whenever software behind the scenes gets updated, so listing exact names would go stale within weeks. The categories below and their purpose stay stable, and that is what matters to you as a visitor.

If a browser privacy panel shows a cookie on tiranadrive.com that does not match a row above, it almost certainly belongs to the booking widget and only appears once you start a car search.

Essential cookies: session, language and search state

Three things need to be remembered for this site to feel like one connected experience rather than a stack of separate pages. The first is your session identifier, a random value that ties your requests together for as long as your browser stays open, paired with a security token that confirms a form submission genuinely came from our page. The second is your language choice: without it, every page you open would reset to English and the translated versions of tiranadrive.com would be pointless for the people who chose them on purpose. The third is your search state, meaning the pickup location, dates, times and filter you clicked, kept so that a walk from the luxury car page to the long-term rental guide does not throw your search away.

None of these three carries your name, your email address or any payment detail, and none is shared with a third party. Under GDPR they count as strictly necessary or as a preference you actively set, so they are not gated behind a consent banner.

Booking widget cookies set by the LocalRent platform

The live car search embedded on our pages is supplied by LocalRent, the booking platform that connects Tiranadrive Tirana to real suppliers operating in Tirana. When that widget loads, it runs its own script from its own domain and can set its own cookies, separate from ours. Their job is entirely practical: hold your pickup point and dates steady, keep the quoted price consistent from the results grid through to the payment screen, remember which car you opened so pressing back does not lose your place, and hand your completed reservation to the correct supplier.

Because those cookies belong to LocalRent, Tiranadrive Tirana cannot read, edit or delete them on your behalf. They are governed by the platform's own privacy documentation, linked from the booking screens themselves. Our part ends at embedding the widget and writing the Tirana guides around it. The rental contract, the deposit terms and the condition of the vehicle are matters between you and the supplier who greets you at pickup.

Analytics: what we measure and why

Our analytics are aimed at pages, not people. We look at how many visits a page gets, roughly which country a visitor arrived from, whether they came through a search engine or a direct link, and whether readers of, say, our airport pickup guide go on to run a car search. That tells us which Tirana content is worth expanding and which is not earning its place on the menu. Where the provider offers it, IP addresses are shortened or removed before any report is generated, data is kept for roughly thirteen months, and what we actually see is counts and percentages, never a list of individual visitors.

Nothing you do here depends on analytics cookies. Blocking them changes nothing about your ability to search, compare prices or complete a booking; it only removes one visit from a monthly total.

Affiliate attribution cookies and what they track

This site is funded by commission, not by charging you more. When a reservation is completed after starting on one of our pages, LocalRent pays Tiranadrive Tirana a share of its own booking fee, and your price at checkout is unaffected by that arrangement. For the commission to reach the right partner, something has to remember where the booking began, and that something is an attribution cookie the platform sets the moment you open the search widget or click through to an offer.

What it stores is narrow: an identifier for this website, a click or session reference, a timestamp, and sometimes the page you started from. It never stores your name, email address, phone number, driving licence details or anything about your payment card. Think of it as a referral receipt rather than a profile. The usual attribution window runs about 30 days, so browsing Tirana car options today and booking three weeks later still credits the referral correctly. It is never used to target you with adverts, is not merged with data from other sites, and is not resold.

Deleting this cookie costs you nothing. Your booking, your price and your rights against the supplier stay exactly the same; only our commission disappears.

Managing or deleting cookies by browser

Every cookie described on this page can be viewed, deleted or blocked from your own browser settings, with no need to contact us first. The steps below cover the current desktop menus for the four browsers most of our visitors use. Opening a private or incognito window is the fastest shortcut: any cookie it creates is thrown away once the last such window closes.

What happens if you block them

The consequences are quite different depending on the category, so it is worth being precise rather than switching everything off and wondering why the site stops behaving. Refusing the language cookie is harmless: the site just forgets your chosen language and reopens in English. Refusing analytics is equally harmless and invisible from where you sit. Refusing the affiliate cookie costs you nothing and only costs us a commission.

Blocking essential cookies is a different story. Forms stop submitting, since the security token they rely on can no longer be checked, and your search state resets on every page load. Blocking third-party cookies entirely, or running a strict tracking-protection mode, usually stops the LocalRent widget from holding your dates and can prevent a reservation from completing at the payment step. If the car search starts behaving oddly, that setting is the first thing worth checking, followed by any ad-blocking extension, since some of them stop the widget script from loading at all.

Changes to this policy and how to reach us

If the cookies used on this website change, whether because we adopt a new tool or LocalRent updates its own widget, this page is revised to match and the date below always reflects the version you are reading. You can ask what is currently stored for your browser, request that analytics data tied to your visit be deleted, or raise any other question about cookies on tiranadrive.com by writing to [email protected]. We reply as quickly as we can. Questions about a booking already made are best sent to the supplier named on your confirmation voucher, since the rental contract sits with them.
