Cookie Policy

Last updated: 15 September 2026

Which cookies and similar technologies Rental Men uses, what each one does, and how you can control them.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Websites also use similar technologies, such as local storage and session storage, which keep small pieces of information in your browser in the same way. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of them.

Some are set by us (first-party cookies). Others are set by services we use, such as Google (third-party cookies).

2. How we use cookies

Strictly necessary: keeping you signed in, completing sign-up, and remembering your cookie choices. The site doesn't work properly without these, so they can't be switched off.
Preferences: remembering settings such as the currency prices are shown in.
Analytics: counting page views and understanding how the site is used, so we can fix problems and improve it.
Advertising: showing ads through Google AdSense, limiting how often you see the same ad, and measuring how ads perform.

Google's advertising cookies let Google and its partners show you ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

5. Your choices

In the EEA, UK and Switzerland

When you first visit, we ask whether you agree to analytics and advertising cookies. You can accept, refuse, or choose what to allow under Manage options. Until you decide, those cookies stay off. You can change your choice at any time through the privacy and cookie settings link on our site.

In the United States

If you live in a state with privacy laws that cover targeted advertising, use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link shown on our site to opt out of personalised ads.

Everywhere

Turn off personalised ads from Google in Google Ads Settings.
Opt out of personalised ads from other participating companies at aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.
Stop Google Analytics from recording your visits with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, you won't be able to stay signed in.

Opting out of personalised ads doesn't remove ads - you'll still see ads, but they won't be based on your interests.
