Cookie Policy

A gentle, human‑readable explanation of how and why the Vocal Range Test may use cookies and similar technologies.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites store in your browser. They help remember basic state between page loads, keep services secure, and provide anonymous statistics about how the site is used. The Vocal Range Test may use cookies or similar technologies for these kinds of purposes.

Cookies that are essential

Some cookies (or similar mechanisms) may be necessary to keep the site secure and functioning – for example, for load‑balancing, basic anti‑abuse measures, or remembering a simple setting. Without them, parts of the service may not work correctly.

Cookies for basic analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are used most, how people move through the site, and where errors occur, so we can prioritise improvements. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, analytics storage follows Google Consent Mode and the choice you make in Google’s privacy messaging prompt. Elsewhere, analytics may run under the defaults allowed for that region.

Cookies for preferences

We may store small preference values, such as language choices or whether you have dismissed a notice, so that you do not have to repeat the same actions every time you visit.

Advertising cookies

We use Google AdSense to show ads that help fund this free project. AdSense may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, personalise and measure ads. For visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland, Google’s certified CMP (AdSense Privacy & messaging — European regulations message) collects consent before personalized ads; Google Consent Mode keeps related storage denied until that choice is recorded. You can learn more in Google’s advertising and privacy documentation, and you can also change your browser cookie settings.

How you can control cookies

Where Google’s European regulations / privacy message is shown (EEA, UK, Switzerland), use that official prompt to accept or reject advertising and analytics consent. Most browsers also let you view, delete and block cookies under settings such as "Privacy" or "Site settings". Blocking all cookies may cause some features of the Vocal Range Test to stop working or behave unexpectedly.

How long cookies last

Some cookies last only for a single session and disappear when you close your browser. Others may remain for days or months so that preferences, analytics or advertising features can work between visits. We aim to set durations that are reasonable for their purpose and not to keep identifiers longer than we need to. Third‑party durations (including Google) are also set by those providers.

Cookies from third parties

Google Analytics and Google AdSense may set their own cookies or use similar storage. Embedded tools such as our Google contact form may also do so. Their use of cookies is governed by Google’s policies. We name these providers here because they are important to how the site currently runs.

Updates to this Cookie Policy

As our technology stack, analytics or advertising setup evolves, this Cookie Policy may change. When it does, we will update the "lastUpdated" date below and, for significant changes, highlight them on the site.

Cookie‑related questions

If you have questions or feedback about how we use cookies, you can contact us via the form mentioned in the About Us section. Hearing from thoughtful users helps us strike a better balance between functionality, privacy and simplicity.
