Cookies and local storage
Last updated:
ExamFreely does not set or read any cookies. It uses localStorage in your browser for the functions listed below. Nothing here is used for tracking or advertising.
What is stored
dilsinav:anon- A random device ID (UUID) created when you start a session. It is never sent to our server and is not linked to you. Reserved for future features.
dilsinav:oturum:<exam>- Your current test session: chosen mode, timers, position, your answers, flags, and any text you typed in Writing or Speaking note fields. Kept until you finish and clear it, or clear browser data.
dilsinav:son:<exam>- Your last mode choices for that exam (mode, version, level, skill, timer on/off), to pre-fill the chooser.
dilsinav:gorulen:<exam>- List of question-set IDs you have answered, so later tests avoid repeating them.
dilsinav:tema- Your light/dark theme choice, only if you pressed the theme button.
<exam> is one of: toefl, ielts, toeic, pte, cambridge. There is no sessionStorage or cookie use. IndexedDB is used only for your Speaking recordings (database "dilsinav-ses"): audio you record stays on your device and is removed with the "Delete my recordings" button on the results screen or by clearing site data. If you use AI evaluation, two more localStorage entries are kept: dilsinav:ai-riza (that you accepted its notice) and dilsinav:ai:<exam>:<set>:<item> (the result, so it is not requested twice). The only network requests to our site are for pages and static content files and, only when you ask for an AI evaluation, the request that carries that one answer (see the Privacy policy); nothing else you have stored is ever sent.
Why no consent banner
Storage is used only to provide what you asked for (resuming your test, remembering your theme and choices) and is not shared. Because there are no cookies, analytics or advertising, we do not show a cookie banner. The optional AI evaluation asks for your agreement in its own notice before anything is sent. This will change before any such technology is added: we will update this page and request consent where the law requires it.
How to delete it
- Use the discard button for a saved session on an exam's start screen; this removes that exam's session entry (the other keys stay until you clear site data).
- Or clear site data in your browser (Settings, Privacy, Site data, examfreely.com). This removes every key above, including the device ID.
Third parties
We set no third-party cookies. The only third-party script is Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot check loaded only when you request an AI evaluation; it may use its own technical storage on Cloudflare's domain to tell people from bots (https://www.cloudflare.com/turnstile-privacy-policy/). Fonts are hosted by us. If advertising is added later (planned for the home page, exam intro pages and the results screen only, never on exam screens), it will bring third-party cookies and this page will be updated with the providers and a consent choice before it goes live.
