Cookie policy
These are the cookies and browser storage that Portable Power Station Picks may use, and the third-party services that only load after you take action. This list is maintained from a single register, checked on the site on September 30, 2026.
Essential for the site
No consent required: used only to make the features you request work.

qos-cmp | Session storage | This site | The models you select to compare. | When the tab closes |
qos-selection | Browser storage | This site | Your “My shortlist” list. It stays in your browser and isn't sent anywhere; only the “My shortlist” page requests today's data from the site for the models on your list. | Until you clear it |
qos-selection-rappel | Browser storage | This site | Remembers that you dismissed the “You saved N models” reminder. | Until you clear it |

Site audience analytics
No consent required: analytics collected by the site itself, with no cookies, no stored IP addresses and no identifiers linking your visits, never shared with third parties. It counts page views, visits, reading time in bands and clicks to retailers.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
qos_visite | Session storage | This site | Marks the start of a visit in this tab. No value is sent: the site only receives a signal that a visit has started. | When the tab closes |
qos_profond | Session storage | This site | Marks when a visit goes beyond one page, to count single-page visits. | When the tab closes |
Layout shift records | Sent without storage | This site | When page content shifts beyond a threshold while being displayed, the browser sends the following once: the page address (without parameters), the size of the shift, the screen width and the technical names of the elements that moved. Used only to fix our pages. | The site's last 300 records |
Third-party services, only after you take action
None of these services load when you open a page.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
YouTube | Video player | Google (YouTube) | Only if you click “Play video”: nothing is loaded from YouTube before that click. The player loads in “privacy-enhanced mode” (youtube-nocookie.com); once playback starts, YouTube may set its own cookies and use storage under its policy. | As set by YouTube |
Retailers and affiliate platforms | Cookie on the retailer's site | Your chosen retailer | Only if you click a retailer link: you leave this site, and the retailer or its affiliate platform may set a cookie on its own site to attribute any commission. This site does not set any affiliate cookies itself. | As set by the retailer |
