Cookies and website statistics

We count page views and a few events, such as when someone uses one of our tools, to learn which pages help parents and what to improve. Our own system does this: no Google Analytics, no advertising networks and no other third parties.

• Nothing is stored on your device: no cookies, no local storage.
• We never keep your IP address or full browser details. To count visitors, we use a code that changes every day, so we cannot follow you from one day to the next.
• We record only the country, the UK nation, the type of device and the browser family.
• When you use one of our tools, we record only which tool and a broad outcome, never what you typed in, such as a score.
• We use the statistics only to improve ExamKind, never for advertising.

If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an objection automatically.

These are all first-party cookies: only examkind.com sets and reads them, and none is shared with anyone else. Cookies that start with __Host- can only be sent over a secure connection to our own website.

The law on cookies (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, PECR) says a website needs your consent before it stores or reads information on your device, unless an exception applies. One exception covers things that are strictly necessary for a service you asked for, such as sending a form securely. Since the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, there are also exceptions for remembering settings you choose and for statistics that help improve the service, as long as the website explains them clearly and lets you object easily.

• Our security cookie, which protects our forms, is strictly necessary.
• Our reading-options cookies only remember settings you chose, and only once you change them.
• Our website statistics store nothing on your device at all, and you can object to them on this page.

So none of our cookies needs consent, and a banner would only get in your way. We don't use advertising, marketing or social media tracking. If we ever add a cookie that does need consent, we will ask first, with Accept and Reject buttons that are equally easy to use and nothing ticked in advance.

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the strictly necessary cookie, our error report, complaint and request forms won't work, but our pages and tools will. Deleting the ek_prefs cookie removes your objection on that browser.
