Cookie Policy

Effective Date: June 13, 2026  ·  Version 2.0

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your login status and preferences, to improve your experience on subsequent visits.

In addition to traditional cookies, we also use related storage technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage in your browser, and HTTP-only session cookies for authentication. This policy covers all of these technologies collectively.

2. Cookies We Use

Rentakoto uses the following categories of cookies and local storage:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Platform to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

2.3 Third-Party Cookies

Some features of the Platform load resources from third-party services that may set their own cookies on your device. These are governed by the respective provider's privacy and cookie policies.

Provider Purpose Their Policy
Google (Sign-In & Maps) Google OAuth sets cookies to manage your Google sign-in state. Google Maps / Places API may set cookies when the map or address autocomplete is loaded. Google Privacy Policy

3. What We Do NOT Do

  • We do not use advertising or tracking cookies to build profiles for ad targeting.
  • We do not sell cookie data or browsing behaviour to third parties.
  • We do not use cookies to track your activity across other websites outside of Rentakoto.

4. Managing & Controlling Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View cookies that have been set.
  • Block cookies from specific or all websites.
  • Delete cookies individually or all at once.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies or third-party services changes. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" above and notify you through the Platform's Terms acceptance screen.
