Cookie Policy

This policy explains the cookies and local storage IQCognify uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Local storage is a related browser technology that lets a site save data on your device. Together they let the Service remember information between pages and visits — for example, keeping your test result available on your device without an account.

How we use them

Essential

These are necessary for the site to work, so they do not require consent:

  • Your result, stored in your browser so you can see it straight away ("cognify:" keys, cleared when you close the tab), plus a history of your past results ("iqcognify:history"), which stays on your device until you clear your site data.
  • Your cookie choices, stored in your browser so we remember what you picked.
  • cognify_access: set only if you bought the paid profile, so your purchase opens on this device. It lasts up to 400 days.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. It sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_<ID>, which last up to 2 years, to measure pages viewed, actions such as starting or finishing the test, approximate location, and device information. Analytics cookies are optional.

Advertising

Ads on this site are served by Journey by Mediavine and its advertising partners. They set cookies and similar technologies (for example Google's __gads, __gpi and IDE, which can last up to 13 months) to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance and, where you allow it, personalise ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Advertising cookies are optional. Ads are never shown on the test questions, on certificates, on purchase pages or on our policy pages. See the Mediavine section of our Privacy Policy for the data involved and how to opt out.

Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked before any analytics or advertising cookie is set. Everyone can change their choice at any time using the "Privacy choices" link at the bottom of every page.

How to control cookies

You are in control of cookies and local storage:

  • Use the cookie banner, or the "Privacy choices" link at the bottom of every page, to accept or decline analytics and advertising cookies.
  • Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies; most browsers also let you clear a site's stored data, which removes locally saved results.
  • Opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Turn off personalised ads at https://adssettings.google.com or https://www.aboutads.info/choices.
  • Note that blocking essential cookies or clearing local storage may break parts of the Service or erase a result saved only on your device.

Changes and contact

We may update this Cookie Policy as our tools or the law change; updates are reflected by the 'last updated' date above. For more on how we handle data, see our Privacy Policy. Questions: iqcognify@gmail.com.
