Cookie Policy for LingoTests
Last updated:
This policy explains how the LingoTests website uses cookies and similar browser storage. LingoTests is owned and operated by Botmasters, s.r.o., a company registered in the Czech Republic.
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser. Some cookies are necessary for a website to work; others help measure website usage or advertising results. First-party cookies are set for the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are set by another service.
1. Cookies we use
| Cookie or storage | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
cookie-policy-choice | Necessary first-party cookie that remembers your separate Analytics and Ads measurement choices. | One year |
billing-frequency | Remembers your monthly or yearly billing selection through registration and sign-in in the same browser. It is saved when you change the billing period and does not depend on optional tracking consent. | 30 days |
| Supabase authentication/session storage | Necessary storage used to keep you signed in, verify your session, and protect authenticated pages. Exact names may vary by deployment. | Session-dependent; refreshed while signed in |
_ga and _ga_<measurement-id> | Optional Google Analytics cookies used to distinguish visits and understand website usage. They are set only after you accept analytics. | Up to two years, depending on configuration and browser settings |
_gcl_* and _gac_*, when used | Optional Google advertising measurement cookies that associate ad clicks with website activity and conversions. They may be set only after you accept Ads measurement. | Typically up to 90 days, depending on the cookie, configuration, and browser settings |
2. Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies and storage support security, sign-in, session management, and your cookie preference. The Service cannot provide all account features without them, so they do not depend on optional tracking consent. Rejecting optional tracking does not disable sign-in, exercises, or payment features you request.
3. Optional Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement
With your Analytics consent, Google Analytics measures page visits and feature usage so we can improve LingoTests. With your separate Ads measurement consent, Google Ads measures the effectiveness of our advertising, such as visits following ad clicks and configured conversions. Google may process browser and device information, page addresses, referral information, and measurement events. We do not intentionally send account names, email addresses, exercise answers, or payment-card details to these tracking services.
Both optional categories are off until you make a choice. Accept all enables both; Reject all keeps both off. Manage preferences lets you accept either category independently. Rejecting a category blocks its Google tracking, not just its cookies. When both are rejected, no Google tracking tag is loaded and no cookieless measurement pings are sent. Using tracking without cookies does not automatically remove consent requirements.
Personalized advertising and Google signals stay disabled, including when you accept Ads measurement. Your choice applies to this browser; an earlier acceptance of Analytics alone does not authorize Ads measurement. For information about Google's processing, see Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Social sign-in and third parties
If you choose Google Sign-In or Facebook Login, your browser is redirected to that provider. Google or Meta may use cookies on their own domains according to their policies. Those cookies are controlled by the provider, not by LingoTests. We do not offer Sign in with Apple.
5. Change your choice
Current choice: No optional tracking choice saved
You can change your choice at any time. Withdrawing a previously active consent saves your preference, clears accessible first-party Google tracking cookies for that category, and reloads the page to stop the loaded tracker. It does not undo data already sent or delete cookies on Google's own domains. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings; after the preference cookie is removed, the consent banner will appear again. Browser settings may also block or delete cookies, but blocking necessary storage may prevent account features from working.
6. Changes and contact
We may update this policy when our cookie practices change. Questions can be sent to [email protected]. For more information about personal data and your rights, read our privacy policy.
