About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies TankoUp uses on this website, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We use the minimum cookies required to operate the site; analytics cookies are only activated with your explicit consent, and advertising cookies (Google AdSense) are only set after you make a choice in Google's own consent message.
By continuing to use the site after the consent banner appears, you acknowledge this policy. You can change your preferences at any time via the "Manage cookies" link in the footer.
1. Who is responsible?
TANKO (TankoUp) is responsible for the processing of data linked to the use of cookies on this website.
- Contact email: [email protected]
If you need more information, please write to us at [email protected].
2. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file stored in your browser that allows us to remember preferences or understand how you use the site. They can be first-party (tankoup.com) or third-party (e.g., Google), and can last for a session only or persist across sessions.
3. Types of cookies we use
3.1 Essential cookies (necessary)
These are essential for the site to work correctly and cannot be disabled from the preferences panel.
- Remembering the interface language.
- Storing your cookie consent choice.
Legal basis: legitimate interest and service delivery. Without these cookies, core functionality of the site would not work.
3.2 Analytics cookies (optional)
We use Firebase Analytics to understand how many visits we receive, which sections generate the most interaction, and to improve overall performance. These cookies are only activated if you accept them.
Data collected: anonymous device or browser identifier; basic technical information (browser, screen resolution, approximate country); usage information (pages visited, time spent per section, events such as fuel type changes or directions clicks).
We never store your name, email, phone number, payment data, or any information that directly identifies you.
Legal basis: your consent, which you can accept or reject in the banner or from "Manage cookies" in the footer. Provider: Google LLC (USA), which applies Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers.
3.3 Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
The web app shows banner ads through Google AdSense (Google LLC) — this is how we fund a free service with no registration and no subscription. AdSense uses cookies to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud.
In the European Economic Area these cookies are only set after you make a choice in Google's consent message, a GDPR / IAB TCF-compliant tool that appears before any ad is shown; ads remain non-personalized unless you consent to personalization there.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info.
Legal basis: your consent, given through Google's consent message. Provider: Google LLC (USA), which applies Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers.

5. How do I manage or withdraw my consent?
On your first visit we show a banner where you can accept only essential cookies or all cookies. You can change your decision at any time from the "Manage cookies" link in the footer.
If you disable analytics cookies, we will immediately stop sending events to Firebase. You can also delete cookies directly through your browser settings; instructions vary by browser.
Consent for advertising cookies is collected separately by Google's consent message the first time ads are shown. While ads are active, you can review or change that choice at any time from the ad privacy options link in the site footer.
