Session data includes test configurations, progress information, and temporary performance metrics. This data is stored securely on our servers and automatically expires after a period of inactivity.
Managing Cookies: You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may limit your ability to use keyCRONO's core features. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, but this may affect your experience on our platform.
Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertisements
keyCRONO uses Google AdSense and other third-party advertising services to display advertisements on our platform. These services help us provide free access to our typing practice tools.
How Advertising Works
When you visit keyCRONO, Google AdSense and other advertising partners may:
- Place cookies on your device to personalize advertisements based on your browsing behavior
- Collect anonymous data about your interactions with advertisements
- Use information about your device, browser, and general location to show relevant ads

Third-Party Privacy Policies
Google AdSense and other advertising partners have their own privacy policies that govern how they collect and use information. We encourage you to review these policies:
Opting Out of Personalized Advertising
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google and other advertising networks:
- Visit Google's Ad Settings to manage your ad preferences
- Use the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies

Note: Opting out does not eliminate advertisements; it means you will see less personalized ads.
Data Security
We take data security seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Our security practices include:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission
- Secure session storage using Redis with appropriate access controls
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Limited access to user data on a need-to-know basis
