Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 September 2026.
This page explains what cookies and similar storage technologies EuroWattCalc uses, organised by category, and how to control them.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small piece of data a website asks your browser to store, then reads back on later visits. Cookies are commonly used to remember settings, measure traffic, or support advertising. Some cookies are essential for a site to function; others are not.
Strictly necessary
The calculators, guides and every other page on this site function without any cookie. No account system, login or shopping cart requires one, so there is currently no strictly-necessary cookie category in active use.
Analytics
None at the moment. The site previously used a Histats visitor counter; it was removed on 26 September 2026 and no analytics cookies are set. If an analytics service is added later, it will be named here first and, for EEA, UK and Swiss visitors, will only run after you accept it.
Advertising
This site uses, or is preparing to use, Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set or read cookies (for example cookies used for ad personalisation, frequency capping and fraud prevention) and use device identifiers to show ads, including ads based on your visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. See how Google uses cookies in advertising and change your ad preferences in Google's Ad Settings. Advertising cookies are not essential; for EEA, UK and Swiss visitors they are only used for personalised ads after you consent.
Embedded third-party content
If a page ever embeds third-party content (for example a video or a map), the provider of that content may set its own cookies once the embed loads, under its own policy. We link out to third-party guides rather than embedding tracking widgets by default.
Consent management
For visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, ads are served through a Google-certified consent management platform. It shows a consent message before advertising cookies are used for personalised ads, and lets you accept, decline or manage your choices. You can reopen that message and change your choice at any time from the privacy/consent link it provides, or by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, which resets your choice on your next visit.
Controlling cookies through your browser
Every modern browser lets you view, block or delete cookies on a per-site or global basis, usually under Settings › Privacy. Blocking all cookies may affect how some third-party embedded content behaves, but will not stop the calculators on this site from working, since they do not depend on cookies.
