EV Match Maker has no accounts, no cookies and no ads. It runs in your browser and sends only anonymous, rounded statistics.

Your location

Optional: share your device's location (your browser asks first), pick a spot on a map, or skip it.

• The point is rounded to about 1 km and sent to BigDataCloud to find your town. If your browser won't share it, BigDataCloud estimates your city from your connection.
• It sets your units, currency and local prices, and centres the range maps. OpenFreeMap, which supplies the map images, sees the area shown (Stadia Maps does instead only if your browser can't draw OpenFreeMap's maps).
• Your exact location is never stored on a server.

Your settings

Your inputs, filters, rounded location and setup progress are saved only in your browser. Start over clears them.

Statistics

Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits without cookies. To improve the site, anonymous events also go to PostHog (US):

• Recorded: page views, finishing setup, settings you change, vehicles you open or compare, Next Steps you open, and manufacturer sites and product links you visit. Each event includes your current settings.
• Rounded: distances, prices and budgets. Location is only your state or province and how you set it.
• Page: the address, and the name of the site that sent you (such as google.com).
• Not linked: a random ID, kept in memory, groups one visit. A new visit gets a new one.
• IP address: PostHog receives it, as any server does, and is set to discard it.

Other services

OpenFreeMap (and Stadia Maps, only as a fallback), cdnjs, jsDelivr, Google Fonts, manufacturers' sites and the Internet Archive (vehicle photos) receive your IP address and browser details when the page loads their files. Their own policies apply, as they do on manufacturer sites you open.
