Cookies

The short version: TankTicker only sets cookies if you agree to them, for Google Analytics.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are popular. Cloudflare Web Analytics doesn't use cookies and doesn't track you across other websites.

Google Analytics (only if you accept)

If you choose Accept on the cookie banner, we also use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site, such as which pages are visited and roughly which town or region visits come from. Google Analytics then sets these cookies:

_ga: tells visits apart, lasts up to 2 years
_ga_* (for example _ga_PC6GWJ9LB9): keeps track of your current session, lasts up to 2 years

If you choose Reject, or don't choose, Google Analytics isn't loaded and these cookies aren't set. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage.

You can change your choice at any time: (or use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page). You can also delete cookies in your browser's settings.

Settings saved in your browser

To save you typing things in again, the price finder remembers a few choices in your browser's local storage. That's a small store on your own device, and it isn't a cookie. It can hold:

the postcode you last searched
how you like results sorted, and how many to show per page
display preferences, such as the colour theme and whether visual effects are on

We don't use these to identify you, and they aren't sent to us. You can clear them at any time in your browser's settings, or with the reset option in the price finder.

Other services

When you search by postcode, the price finder looks up its location using postcodes.io. Some features also use Open-Meteo for weather information. Links to other websites, including Amazon affiliate links, take you to sites with their own cookie policies.
