5. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies used include:
- Essential Cookies: Required for authentication and core functionality
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how users interact with our Service
- Advertising Cookies: Used to deliver relevant ads to free users
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of the Service may not function properly without cookies.
6. Advertising
Free users may see advertisements from third-party ad networks. These ad partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities. Users who purchase the No Ads feature (£0.99) or Premium subscription (£2.99/month) can enjoy an ad-free experience.
7. Authentication Data
We support multiple authentication methods:
- Password: Stored using industry-standard bcrypt hashing
- Passkey: WebAuthn credentials stored securely, biometric data never leaves your device
- Google OAuth: We receive basic profile information (email, name) from Google
We never store passwords in plain text. Passkey authentication uses public-key cryptography, ensuring your biometric data remains on your device.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:
- Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS
- Secure password hashing with bcrypt
- Regular security audits and updates
- Access controls and authentication requirements

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Guest quizzes are automatically deleted after 24 hours
- Registered user quizzes are retained while your account is active
- Premium user data is retained while the subscription is active
- Purchased bundle access is permanent
- Account data is retained until you request deletion
