Cookie Policy
Last updated September 1, 2026
This site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies or third-party cookies. It does use your browser's local storage to remember your study progress, which is a different thing — this page explains the distinction.
No consent banner, because none is needed
Cookies we set
None at present. The site does not set cookies for advertising, analytics, personalisation or cross-site tracking, and it embeds no third-party scripts that would set them on our behalf.
Local storage we use
Local storage is a browser feature that lets a site save data on your own device. Unlike cookies, it is not transmitted with every request to the server — the data stays in your browser and we never receive it.
| Key | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
gcpprep:progress:v1 | Roadmap completion, practice attempt history, bookmarks, active days and your focus certification. | Until you clear it |
gcpprep:test:* | An in-progress practice test, so you can close the tab and resume where you left off. | Until you clear it or retake the test |
gcpprep:recent-searches | Your five most recent search terms, offered as suggestions. | Until you clear it |
How to clear it
- Use the Clear my progress button on the dashboard, which removes everything we store.
- Or clear site data for this domain in your browser settings, which has the same effect.
- Or browse in a private window, where nothing persists after you close it.
Clearing this data does not restrict your access to anything — the site works identically without it, you simply lose your saved progress.
Third-party services
We do not embed advertising networks, social media widgets, comment systems or analytics services. Typefaces are served from our own domain, so rendering a page does not disclose your visit to a font provider.
If you follow a link to an external website, that site's own cookie practices apply and we have no control over them.
Changes
If we introduce cookies or analytics in future, we will update this page and implement appropriate consent mechanisms first. See also our privacy policy.
