Draft prepared for review by Amirah Equipment Rental’s legal counsel before final publication.
This Cookie Policy explains how amirahrental.com (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies, what they do, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (such as items in a booking cart) and help site owners understand how the site is used. “Session” cookies are deleted when you close the browser; “persistent” cookies remain for a set period. We also use similar technologies such as local storage — for example, your equipment booking cart is kept in your browser’s local storage so your selection is not lost between pages.
2. Cookies and technologies we use
| Cookie / technology | Type | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| WordPress session cookies | Essential | Core site functions, forms and security | Session |
| Booking cart (local storage) | Essential | Keeps your equipment selection and rental dates while you browse | Until cleared |
| LiteSpeed cache cookies | Performance | Serve pages faster from cache | Up to 1 day |
| _ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics 4) | Analytics | Understand pages visited, approximate location and device type so we can improve the site | Up to 24 months |
| Google Tag Manager | Analytics | Manages the analytics tags above | N/A |
Analytics data is aggregated and does not directly identify you; IP addresses are processed by Google as part of providing the service.
3. Why we use them
- Essential — without these the site cannot work properly: the booking cart, quote and contact forms and basic security depend on them; they cannot be switched off through the site;
- Performance — caching cookies help pages load faster on repeat visits;
- Analytics — help us understand which equipment pages and guides are useful, so we can improve content and service.
4. Your choices
- Browser settings — every major browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) lets you block or delete cookies and clear local storage; use your browser’s Settings → Privacy controls;
- Google Analytics opt-out — install Google’s browser opt-out add-on to stop GA data collection on all sites;
- Do Not Track — where your browser sends a DNT signal, our analytics configuration respects the applicable settings.
Blocking essential cookies or clearing local storage may affect features such as the booking cart and forms.
5. Third-party cookies
Embedded third-party content — such as Google Maps on our contact page or links to social networks — may set cookies governed by those providers’ own policies. We recommend reviewing their cookie and privacy notices.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our website or the law changes; the “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version.
