This Cookie Policy explains how SpokeVolt ("SpokeVolt", "we", "us", or "our"), an electric bikes review website located at spokevolt.com, uses cookies, localStorage, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our site. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage is a similar browser technology that allows a website to store small amounts of data directly in your browser, without setting a traditional cookie. Both are commonly used to remember preferences, recognize returning visitors, and support website functionality.
SpokeVolt keeps its use of tracking technologies deliberately minimal. We use the following categories:
When you first visit spokevolt.com, a cookie consent banner appears asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice — either "accepted" or "declined" — is saved directly in your browser's localStorage. This entry does not track your browsing activity; it simply remembers your preference so the banner does not reappear on future visits.
If you click "Accept" on the consent banner, SpokeVolt will load a privacy-conscious analytics tool to help us understand how visitors use our reviews, comparison guides, and buying advice content. If you click "Decline" or take no action, analytics scripts are not loaded and no analytics cookies are set on your device.
Analytics cookies, when active, may collect information such as:
This data is used solely to improve our content, identify which electric bike reviews are most useful to readers, and fix technical issues. We do not use analytics cookies to build individual advertising profiles or sell your data.
Our analytics provider, which only activates after you consent, may set its own third-party cookies to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review. SpokeVolt does not control how third-party analytics cookies function internally, but we select providers that prioritize visitor privacy and offer data minimization options.
We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking cookies on spokevolt.com.
Because your consent choice is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than through a centralized account system, you can withdraw or reset your consent at any time by clearing your browser's site data for spokevolt.com. This typically involves:
Alternatively, most browsers allow you to clear all localStorage and cookies for all sites through their general privacy settings, though this will also reset preferences for other websites you visit.
In addition to our consent banner, you can control or block cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Please note that blocking all cookies and local storage may affect the functionality of the consent banner itself, causing it to reappear on every visit.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. Because there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, SpokeVolt currently relies on your explicit accept/decline choice through our consent banner rather than automatically detecting DNT signals.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the tools we use or applicable regulations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or how SpokeVolt uses cookies and local storage, please contact us at [email protected].
