Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember user preferences, and provide information to site owners.

What This Site Uses

LaptopTestOnline uses three things, and only the first is active before you make a choice:

  • Local storage (essential) — a single entry in your browser's local storage, lto_cookie_consent, that remembers whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies. It is not a cookie, and it is never transmitted anywhere — it stays on your device.
  • Analytics cookies (only after you accept) — if you click "Accept all", Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_* (kept for up to 2 years) to count visits and see which pages are used. If you reject, they are not set.
  • Advertising cookies (third-party, only after you accept) — if you click "Accept all" on the consent banner, Google AdSense sets cookies to serve and measure ads, and these may be used to personalize ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. If you click "Reject non-essential", advertising cookies and personalization remain disabled under Google Consent Mode v2 and no advertising cookies are set.

This site has no error logging, no session recording and no user accounts, so there are no other cookies or trackers. Test results and camera, microphone or keyboard data are never sent to analytics.

Third-Party Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertising. Once you consent, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites, and Google processes your IP address as part of serving ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. To opt out of Google Analytics on all websites, use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

Managing Cookies

You can change your consent choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer — or the button below — which reopens the consent banner. Clearing this site's data in your browser also resets your choice, and the banner will appear again on your next visit.

For the third-party cookies Google sets after you accept, most browsers also let you refuse or delete cookies via their settings. Blocking cookies does not affect our diagnostic tests, which run locally in your browser.
