Cookie Policy – Fuel24

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites send to and store on the user's device. In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as local storage may also be used. In this policy, the term "cookie" refers to all such technologies.

2. Types of cookies used

2.1 Technically necessary cookies (always active)

These are required for the website to function and do not require user consent.

Session cookies: retain preferences during browsing (e.g. selected fuel type).
Cloudflare security cookies: security, bot prevention and performance optimisation.
Local storage: stores the cookie preference (cookiesAccepted) so the banner is not shown on every visit.

2.2 Analytics cookies (with consent)

Installed only after explicit consent. They help us understand how the website is used.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4): collects aggregated and anonymous data on sessions, pages visited, device type and geographic origin. IP addresses are anonymised before being sent to Google.
