This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones Electrik.NG uses, and how you can manage them. For information on how we use your personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They serve various purposes — from keeping you logged in, to remembering your preferences, to helping us understand how the site is used. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (retained until they expire or you delete them).
We only use cookies that are necessary for the site to work, that improve your experience, or that help us understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not use advertising, tracking, or cross-site profiling cookies.
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
.AspNetCore.Identity.Application |
Authentication session — keeps you logged in between page loads. | Session / 14 days (if "remember me" is selected) | |
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.* |
CSRF protection — validates that form submissions originate from our site and not a third party. | Session | |
.AspNetCore.Session |
Server-side session identifier — maintains transient state between requests (e.g. multi-step payment flow). | Session | |
TempData.* |
Short-lived flash messages (e.g. "Payment successful") that persist across a single redirect. | Single request / redirect | |
electrik_prefs |
Stores your last-selected DISCO and payment category so you don't have to re-select them on your next visit. | 30 days | |
electrik_analytics |
Anonymised page view and feature usage data. Data is aggregated and cannot be linked to individual users. No data is shared with third-party analytics services. | 90 days |
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. Without them, you cannot log in, submit payments, or use any authenticated feature. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under applicable law.
Functional cookies remember choices you make to provide a more personalised experience. Disabling them will not prevent you from using the site, but some preferences (such as your last-selected DISCO) will not be saved between visits. You can disable these in your browser settings.
We use a simple, privacy-first analytics setup to understand which features are most used and where users encounter difficulties. All data is anonymised at collection — no IP addresses, user IDs, or cross-session identifiers are stored. You can opt out by disabling analytics cookies in your browser or using a browser with tracking protection enabled.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Instructions for common browsers:
Note: deleting the authentication cookie will log you out. Deleting strictly necessary cookies may prevent certain features from working correctly.
We may update this Cookie Policy when we change the cookies we use. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any revision.
