Cookie & Local Storage Policy
We are dedicated to transparent web publishing. This policy explains what cookies and local storage keys are used on EnglishTypingTest.org and how you can manage them.
1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?
Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. In addition to standard cookies, modern web applications utilize HTML5 Local Storage (localStorage) and Session Storage (sessionStorage) to store lightweight application state directly on your machine.
At EnglishTypingTest.org, we prioritize privacy: we do not track your keystrokes, and our practice tools run client-side to minimize unnecessary server transmission.
2. Essential Local Storage Keys
These client-side keys are strictly necessary to provide features you explicitly request, such as dark mode and high score tracking:
ett-themeStores your chosen theme preference (dark or light mode) across browsing sessions.
ett-langRemembers your selected interface language preference so pages load in your desired locale.
cps_best_scoreStores your personal best click score in the reflex mini-drill locally on your browser.
memory_best_scoreSaves your personal memory score locally without sending game telemetry to remote servers.
3. Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
To maintain EnglishTypingTest.org as a 100% free educational platform, we display non-intrusive display advertisements provided by Google AdSense:
- Google uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve relevant advertisements based on prior visits to our website or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising through www.aboutads.info.
4. How You Can Control Cookies
You have the right to accept or decline cookies. Most modern web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline or clear them at any time:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
- Apple Safari: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Privacy.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.
Please note that disabling local storage may reset your dark mode preference and personal high scores back to default values.
