1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work properly, provide secure navigation, remember your preferences, and help publishers analyze how visitors interact with site tools.
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), non-essential cookies require your explicit, informed consent before they can be set on your device.
2. Cookies We Use
EV Rate Check classifies cookies into three main categories:
Category A: Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the basic technical operation of the website. Because they are essential, they do not require prior consent under PECR.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | evratecheck.com | Stores your cookie consent choice ("accepted" or "declined") | 1 year |
Category B: Performance & Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how users interact with our tariff calculators, which pages are most helpful, and where calculation errors occur. These cookies are strictly disabled until you click "Accept" on our consent banner.
| Cookie Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ahrefs Web Analytics | ahrefs.com | Anonymized page view metrics and navigation path analysis | Session / 6 months |
Category C: Advertising & Marketing Cookies
To keep our tariff comparison and installation calculators 100% free for consumers, we may display advertising via partners such as Google AdSense. Advertising cookies allow ad partners to serve relevant advertisements. These cookies only activate if you provide consent.
3. How to Manage or Revoke Your Consent
You can change your consent preferences at any time. When you click "Decline" on our cookie banner, non-essential cookies and analytics scripts are blocked from running on your browser.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
