What Are Cookies and Why We Use Them
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember basic information between page loads — for example, your selected theme (light/dark) or your previously selected state in the calculator.
electricbillcalculate.in uses cookies only for two narrow purposes: to make core site features work correctly, and to collect anonymous, aggregated data that helps us improve the calculator and content. We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or building personal profiles.
Types of Cookies We Use
The table below lists the categories of cookies used on this site, their purpose, and whether they can be disabled.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Can Be Disabled? | Personal Data? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Navigation, theme preference, calculator state retention | No — required for core function | No |
| Analytics | Anonymous page view counts, session durations, calculator usage patterns | Yes — via browser settings | No — data is aggregated & anonymised |
| Third-party (functional) | Google Fonts delivery, performance CDN | Via browser settings | No personal identifiers stored |
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, basic features like page navigation, the state selector in our electricity bill calculator, and your dark/light theme preference would not work.
These cookies do not track personal behaviour, do not identify you individually, and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality. They are set only by electricbillcalculate.in — not by any third party.
- Theme preference (light/dark/ocean)
- Language selection (English/Hindi)
- Session-level calculator state
Analytics Cookies
We use anonymous analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which state calculator pages are most popular, how long users spend on the FAQ, and whether the mobile layout works well.
All data collected is anonymised and aggregated before storage. No IP addresses, names, emails, or personal identifiers are stored. These cookies help us prioritise which state tariff pages to build next and which content to improve.
- Page view counts (no personal IDs)
- Calculator usage frequency by state
- Device type and screen size (aggregated)
Third-Party Cookies
A small number of third-party services used to run this site may set their own cookies. These are limited to functional infrastructure — not advertising.
- Google Fonts: Loads the typography used across the site. Google may set a cookie to cache the font files on your device. No personal data is collected via this service for advertising purposes.
- CDN/Hosting provider: Our hosting infrastructure may set technical cookies for load balancing and security. These contain no personal identifiers.
We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads cookies, retargeting cookies, or any advertising network trackers on this site.
