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 essential storage for core site features, may use analytics technologies, and serves Google AdSense ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Whether ads are personalized depends on your location, consent choices, and Google account and browser settings.

The table below lists the categories of cookies used on this site, their purpose, and whether they can be disabled.

| 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)
