This Cookie Policy explains what cookies ChargeMine uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They serve many purposes — remembering your preferences, keeping you logged in, or measuring how a site is used.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly necessary (always on)

These cookies are essential for ChargeMine to work. They cannot be disabled.

chargemine.theme — remembers your light/dark preference. (localStorage, 1 year)
chargemine.favorites — stores your saved chargers on your device. (localStorage, indefinite)
chargemine.recent — stores your recent PIN/ZIP searches. (localStorage, indefinite)
chargemine.cookieConsent — remembers your cookie preferences. (localStorage, 1 year)

2.2 Analytics (with your consent)

These help us understand how ChargeMine is used so we can improve it. All data is anonymised.

_ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics 4 client and session identifiers. (Google, 2 years)

2.3 Advertising (with your consent)

These enable our ad partners to show ads that keep ChargeMine free.

__gads, __gpi — Google AdSense. (Google, 13 months)
PropellerAds cookies — set only when a PropellerAd is served. (PropellerAds, up to 30 days)

3. How to Control Cookies

Via ChargeMine: Use the cookie banner (bottom of the screen on first visit). You can revisit your choice by clicking the button below.
Browser settings: All modern browsers let you block or delete cookies. See aboutcookies.org for guides.
Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Personalised ads opt-out: Visit youronlinechoices.eu (EU) or aboutads.info (US).

4. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There is no industry standard for how sites should respond, so ChargeMine does not currently honour DNT signals. Instead, use the cookie banner to disable non-essential cookies.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Please check the “Last updated” date above.
