2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They are used to make a site work, to remember your choices and, in some cases, to measure how the site is used. Similar technologies such as local storage work in the same way and are covered by this policy.

3. Technical Cookies (No Consent Required)

These are strictly necessary to deliver the website and cannot be switched off:

Local storage entry saving your cookie choices (12 months)

Local storage entry remembering that you dismissed the language suggestion banner (90 days)

Security and anti-abuse measures that protect the booking form from spam

Session data needed to serve the pages you request

4. Third-Party and Optional Cookies (Consent Required)

Interactive maps: our location pages embed OpenStreetMap. When you accept, the map is loaded from openstreetmap.org, which receives your IP address and technical browser data. If you decline, we show a placeholder and no request is made.

Fonts: web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts to render our typography.

We do not use profiling, advertising or retargeting cookies. We do not currently run analytics or tracking scripts; should we add them, they will only load after your consent.

5. Legal Basis and Retention

Technical cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing the service (Art. 6.1.f GDPR). Optional cookies are used only with your consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR). Your consent choice is stored for 12 months, after which we will ask again.

6. Managing Your Consent

You can accept or refuse optional cookies from the banner shown on your first visit, and change your mind at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer. You can also delete or block cookies from your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge all offer these controls); blocking technical cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.

7. Your Rights

You may ask us for access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or object to processing, and lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali). Write to salentobikerental@gmail.com.

8. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated when the technologies used on the site change. See also our Privacy Policy for the full description of how we process personal data.
