Cookie & Local Storage Policy

Effective Date: September 23, 2026 | Platform Version: TypingYard 2.4

1. Scope of Storage Technologies (Cookies & LocalStorage)

TypingYard (typingyard.com) is architected for maximum speed and data privacy. We rely almost entirely on client-side Web Storage (specifically localStorage) instead of persistent tracking cookies. Unlike tracking cookies, browser local storage data stays on your personal device and is not automatically transmitted with every HTTP web request.

2. Detailed Inventory of Client Storage Keys

Storage Key Type Purpose Duration
typingyard_theme localStorage Stores your Dark / Light mode visual display preference. Persistent until cleared
typingyard_stats localStorage Saves recent typing test scores (WPM, accuracy, completed drills) locally. Persistent until cleared
typingyard_sound localStorage Remembers mechanical click sound audio preferences. Persistent until cleared
typingyard_exam_results localStorage Maintains personal simulation mock test records on your device. Persistent until cleared

3. Zero Third-Party Advertising & Tracking Cookies

TypingYard does NOT deploy third-party advertising cookies, behavioral retargeting scripts, or cross-site tracking beacons. We do not participate in advertising data exchanges. Transient session cookies may be used exclusively for CSRF protection and authenticated session integrity.

4. How to Inspect, Manage and Clear Local Storage

You possess complete control over client data stored on your device. You can view or erase your local storage data at any time through your browser's settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge): Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Clear cookies and site data.
