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.
