Privacy policy

This page explains what information we hold and how it is used.

What we collect

If you create an account we store your email address and password. The password is stored only as a one-way hash, so nobody can read it back. Your favourites and study status are stored with that account.

Even without an account, requests are logged. Cloudflare, which serves this site, aggregates IP address, browser, requested page and timestamp. We do not use these logs to identify individuals.

How it is used

We use this information to sign you in, to keep your favourites and study status, to deal with abuse and to improve the site. We do not sell or share it with third parties as a mailing list.

Cookies and advertising

While you are logged in, one cookie identifies your session. It is removed when you log out.

This site uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other sites.
