Our Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 16, 2026. This page explains the cookies and similar technologies that may be used when you visit our lithium battery guides, calculators, and comparison pages.
What this Cookie Policy covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Lithium Battery Tools & Guides uses cookies and similar technologies on https://lithiumbattery.online. It describes what cookies are, why they are used, which categories may appear on the site, how third-party services may use cookies, and how visitors can manage their choices. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy because cookies can sometimes involve personal data such as IP address, device information, browser type, approximate location, referral source, and pages viewed. Our goal is to make the site useful for people comparing lithium batteries, solar batteries, backup sizing, inverter compatibility, and ROI calculators while keeping cookie use transparent and easy to understand. This page does not replace professional legal advice, and cookie rules may vary depending on your country, browser settings, and the third-party services enabled on the website.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your browser or device when you visit a page. They help a website remember information such as whether you have accepted a notice, which pages you viewed, whether you are logged in, or how the site performed during your visit. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, and device identifiers. Some of these technologies are essential for basic website functionality, while others are used for analytics, advertising, embedded content, affiliate tracking, or improving user experience. Cookies may be first-party cookies set by lithiumbattery.online, or third-party cookies set by external services such as analytics providers, advertising networks, video platforms, social networks, or embedded tools.
Types of cookies we may use
We may use several categories of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies support core website features, security, page navigation, comment forms, login sessions, spam protection, and consent preferences. Functional cookies remember optional preferences such as display choices or form details. Analytics cookies help us understand which guides, tools, and calculators visitors use most, how long pages take to load, and where users may need better explanations. Advertising and affiliate cookies may help display relevant ads, measure ad performance, prevent repeated ads, or attribute referrals. Embedded-content cookies may be placed when a page includes media, maps, calculators, videos, social buttons, charts, or external widgets. The exact cookies active on the site may change as plugins, hosting tools, analytics tools, or advertising partners are added, removed, or updated.
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are used to make the website work. These cookies may support security, bot protection, load balancing, session management, cookie preference storage, comment submission, spam filtering, and basic WordPress functionality. Without these cookies, certain requested services may not work correctly. For example, a cookie may remember that you dismissed a banner, prevent duplicate form submissions, keep an administrator logged in, or help protect the site from malicious traffic. These cookies are not usually used for marketing. In many jurisdictions, strictly necessary cookies can be placed without asking for consent because they are essential to provide the service requested by the visitor. You can still block them in your browser, but blocking them may break parts of the website.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content quality, page structure, and tool usability. For example, analytics may show whether people are finding the Battery Sizing Calculator, whether visitors leave a page before reading the FAQ, which lithium battery comparisons are most useful, and which devices or browsers need better optimization. Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time on page, referral URL, approximate region, device type, browser, and interaction events. We aim to use analytics in a privacy-conscious way and avoid collecting more information than needed. Depending on the analytics tool and visitor location, analytics cookies may require consent before they are set. If analytics are disabled, the website should still remain usable.
Advertising, affiliate and measurement cookies
The website may use advertising or affiliate links to support the cost of producing free guides, calculators, and comparison pages. Advertising cookies can help third-party vendors display relevant ads, measure ad performance, limit how often the same ad appears, detect invalid traffic, and understand whether an ad led to a visit or conversion. Affiliate cookies can help a merchant or network know that a visitor came from our website before purchasing or requesting a quote. We do not control all cookies set by third-party advertisers or affiliate networks. If Google AdSense, Google Ads, or other ad partners are enabled, those partners may use cookies and similar technologies according to their own policies. Visitors can manage personalized advertising through browser controls and the relevant third-party preference tools.
| Cookie category | Purpose | Typical examples | Consent approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, page navigation, form submission, session management, and remembering cookie choices. | Consent preference, login/session, anti-spam, security firewall, load balancing. | Usually active because they are required for requested website functions. |
| Functional | Remember optional preferences and improve convenience when using the website. | Display preferences, saved form details, language or region choices. | May be optional depending on configuration and visitor location. |
| Analytics | Measure visits, page performance, popular guides, tool usage, and content improvements. | Page views, referral source, device type, browser, approximate region, interaction events. | May require consent, especially where analytics are not strictly necessary. |
| Advertising / affiliate | Show relevant ads, measure campaigns, prevent invalid traffic, and attribute referrals. | Ad network IDs, conversion tags, affiliate referral cookies, frequency capping. | Usually optional and subject to consent or user/browser controls. |
| Embedded content | Enable third-party media, social widgets, maps, fonts, videos, or external tools. | YouTube, maps, social buttons, external images, forms, CDN scripts. | Controlled by third parties and may require consent depending on the technology. |
Embedded content and third-party services
Pages on this website may include embedded content or links to third-party services. Examples include YouTube videos, maps, social media widgets, product comparison widgets, calculators, forms, fonts, security tools, comment systems, CDN resources, and external images. Embedded content from another website behaves as if you visited that external website directly. That third party may collect data, use cookies, track interactions, or combine your visit with an account you hold with them. For example, a video platform may know that you watched an embedded video if you are logged into that platform. We try to use reputable services, but each external provider is responsible for its own cookie and privacy practices. Review their policies before interacting with embedded content.
Comments, forms and user submissions
If comments or contact forms are enabled, cookies may be used to remember your name, email address, website, or form preferences so you do not have to re-enter them next time. WordPress and anti-spam services may also use cookies or technical identifiers to help detect spam, abuse, automated submissions, or repeated attempts to post harmful content. When you submit a comment, form, or request, the site may process information you provide along with technical information such as IP address, user agent, timestamp, and page URL. These technologies help keep the website safe and reduce spam. Avoid submitting sensitive personal information through comments or public forms unless the form specifically asks for it and you understand how it will be used.
How long cookies last
Cookies may be session cookies or persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are usually deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless you delete them earlier. Some cookies may last a few minutes, some may last days or months, and preference cookies may last longer so that your choices are remembered. Third-party advertising or analytics cookies may have their own retention periods controlled by the relevant provider. Cookie lifetimes can also change when browsers update privacy rules, plugins are replaced, or third-party platforms adjust their policies. We recommend checking your browser cookie settings regularly if you want tighter control over what remains stored on your device.
How to manage cookie choices
You can manage cookies in several ways. If a cookie banner or preference center is available, use it to accept, reject, or adjust optional categories such as analytics or advertising. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, clear cookies after each session, block all cookies, or create exceptions for specific websites. Blocking all cookies may reduce functionality, especially for login areas, comment forms, security checks, or saved preferences. You may also use privacy-focused browser extensions, device-level ad settings, and third-party opt-out tools. If you change devices, browsers, or clear cookies, you may need to set your preferences again.
Your privacy rights
Depending on your location, you may have privacy rights related to personal data collected through cookies or similar technologies. These rights may include asking for access to your data, requesting correction or deletion, objecting to certain processing, withdrawing consent, limiting processing, or requesting information about third-party sharing. Some cookie-related data is controlled by third-party providers, so certain requests may need to be sent directly to them. We will try to respond to reasonable privacy requests where we control the relevant data. To make a request, use the contact method provided on the website and include enough detail to identify the issue without sending unnecessary sensitive information.
Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website changes, when new tools or plugins are added, when advertising or analytics providers change, when legal requirements change, or when we improve our privacy practices. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new last-updated date. Continued use of the website after a change means the updated policy applies to future visits. If the change is material, we may provide a more visible notice, such as a banner or updated consent prompt. Because cookie laws and browser technologies continue to evolve, we recommend reviewing this page from time to time.
