Cookie policy
Here are the cookies and browser storage that Robot Vacuum Picks may use, plus third-party services that only load after you take action. This list is maintained from a single register, checked on the site on 30 September 2026.
Essential site cookies
No consent required: used only to provide the features you request.
| Name | Type | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cookie_notice_accepted | Cookie | This site | Remembers that you have read the cookie information banner so it is not shown again. | 183 days |
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 is never sent anywhere; only the “My shortlist” page requests current data from the site for the models on it. | 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 |
qos-fit-… | Browser storage | This site | Your answer to “Is this model right for you?” on a product page, so you are not asked again. | Until you clear it |
qos-poll-… | Session storage | This site | Remembers that you have already answered an article's poll. | When the tab closes |
qg-bar-off | Session storage | This site | Remembers that you closed a guide's reading bar on mobile, so it stays hidden. | When the tab closes |
Site audience measurement
No consent required: measured by this site, with no cookies, stored IP addresses or identifiers that track you across visits, and 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 receives only a signal that a visit has started. | When the tab closes |
qos_profond | Session storage | This site | Marks when a visit includes more than one page, to count single-page visits. | When the tab closes |
Layout shift reports | Sent without storage | This site | When content shifts beyond a threshold as a page is displayed, the browser sends a single report: the page URL (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 reports |
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 when you click “Play video”: nothing loads 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 determined by YouTube |
Retailers and affiliate platforms | Cookie on the retailer's site | Your chosen retailer | Only when you click a retailer link: you leave this site, and the retailer or its affiliate platform may set a cookie on its site to attribute any commission. This site does not set any affiliate cookies itself. | As determined by the retailer |
