The short version: only what the site needs to work. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking.
1. What we use and why
TakeGuard uses a small number of cookies and browser storage entries, all of them needed for the site to work: to keep you signed in, to keep your account secure and to make exams reliable. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and no third party sets cookies through our site. Because everything is strictly necessary, the law does not require us to ask for consent, which is why you will not see a cookie banner.
3. Browser storage
Kept in your browser on this device only. It is never sent to us on its own; the site reads it while you use it.
| Name | What it is for | How long | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
tg-session-expires-at | When your sign-in needs renewing, so it can be renewed before it runs out. | Until you sign out | Local storage |
tg-exam-session-… | Which browser window holds an exam you are sitting, so it runs in one window at a time. | Until the exam ends | Local storage |
tg-exam-draft-… | Your answers to an exam in progress, so a reload does not lose them. | Until the tab is closed | Session storage |
tg-theme | Your choice of light or dark mode, if you made one. | Until you clear it (below) | Local storage |
4. Removing them
Signing out removes your sign-in cookies. You can also delete cookies and site data in your browser's settings at any time; you will then be signed out and asked to choose your theme again. More about how we handle personal data is in the Privacy Policy.
