1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over time, so you do not have to re-enter information each time you return. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain until they expire or are deleted).

2. How We Use Cookies

englishtestpractice.com uses cookies for four purposes: keeping you logged in (essential), measuring how the site is used (analytics), tracking advertising conversions (marketing), and remembering your cookie preferences (consent management).
