What is stored on your device?
To save your progress without an account, the site uses storage built into your browser. This data stays on your device. It is not sent to us, and it does not sync between devices or browsers.

Plain-English details of what this site stores, where, and what it doesn’t do.
Updated Based on Our Common Bond
In short
- No accounts, sign-up or email address needed.
- Your practice progress is stored in your browser on your device, not on our servers.
- The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising trackers.
- Like any website, page requests reach our hosting provider, which may keep standard server logs.
| Stored in | Name | What it contains |
|---|---|---|
| IndexedDB (database: common-bond-practice) | attempts | Your test attempts: mode, score, time taken, and which answers you chose. |
| IndexedDB | wrongAnswers | Questions you answered incorrectly, and whether you’ve since mastered them. |
| IndexedDB | preferences | Practice settings, such as whether the timer is on. |
| IndexedDB | streaks | Your current and longest daily practice streak. |
| localStorage | flashcards-v1 | Which flashcards you know or want to review. |
| sessionStorage | mock-test-in-progress | An unfinished mock test, so a page refresh doesn’t lose it. Cleared when you finish or close the tab. |
None of this includes your name, email or any identity details. It records only how you have practised.
How do I delete my data?
Clear this site’s data in your browser settings (often called “site data” or “cookies and site data”). That removes all saved progress. Using a private or incognito window means nothing is kept after you close it.
Does the site use cookies?
No. The site does not set any cookies.
Does the site use analytics or tracking?
No. There are currently no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts on the site. If we ever add analytics, we will update this page first and describe exactly what is collected.
Does the site load anything from other companies?
Pages don’t load scripts, fonts or images from third parties. Fonts are served from our own domain. The official study PDFs are also served from this site.
Some links take you to other websites, such as the Department of Home Affairs or Ko-fi (for optional donations). Those sites have their own privacy policies. We previously showed a Ko-fi donation widget on every page; it has been removed, and Ko-fi is now only a link.
What does our hosting provider see?
When your browser requests a page, the request reaches our hosting provider. Like almost every website host, it may keep standard server logs, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. We don’t use these logs to identify or profile visitors.
Is the site suitable for children?
Yes. There are no accounts or sign-up forms, so the site doesn’t collect personal information from anyone, including children.
What if I email you?
If you email us, for example to report an error, we receive your email address and message. We use them only to reply and to fix the issue you reported, and we don’t add you to any mailing list.
