2. Cookies & Programmatic Advertising

We partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website. These partners may use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable technical information (such as IP address, browser type and visited pages) to deliver relevant contextual and interest-based ads.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to evtoknow.eu or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to evtoknow.eu and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time. Use the links below to control how Google uses your data for advertising and to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating vendors:

3. Consent Management (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) banner in line with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF v2.3). Google AdSense reads that consent state through Google Consent Mode v2, and advertising cookies stay disabled until consent is given. You can manage or withdraw your cookie and advertising consent at any time by reopening the consent banner or its privacy settings link, and through your browser settings.

4. Affiliate & Commercial Disclosure

Some outbound product links on evtoknow.eu are affiliate tracking links. If you purchase hardware or request an installation quote through these links, we may earn an affiliate commission at zero additional cost to you. Hardware recommendations remain strictly governed by our physical compatibility engine.

5. Your GDPR Rights

If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability.

You can withdraw advertising consent at any time through the consent banner; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
