Mock Test is run from Dhaka, Bangladesh. This page says exactly what is stored in your browser, what we would like to store with your permission, and how to change your mind.
If anything here is unclear, write to [email protected] and a person will answer.
The short version
Four small things are stored because the site cannot work without them. Four more are stored only if you say yes, and nothing in that second group ever runs while you are sitting a paper or reading your result.
In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we ask before placing anything in the second group, and nothing in it loads until you accept. Everywhere else it loads unless you tell us not to — and you can, from Cookie settings at the bottom of any page.
What we store because the site needs it
These are not optional. Without them there is no sign-in, no exam timer and no language.
- Your sign-in. So you are not asked for your password on every page. Clearing your browser data signs you out.
- The language you chose, so the site opens in Bangla or English next time. Saved only when you press the switch — if the site guessed Bangla from where you are, nothing was saved.
- Your answer to the question on this page, so we do not ask again every time you open the site. It is kept in your browser's own storage and is never sent to us.
- Your place in a paper you are sitting — which section you are in and how much time is left — so a refreshed tab does not cost you the exam.
None of these follow you anywhere. None of them are read by anybody else.
What we store only if you agree
- Google Analytics, so we can see which pages bring people to the site and which ones lose them. It keeps a marker of its own in your browser.
- Google Tag Manager, which is how the measurement above is configured without a code change.
- The Meta pixel — Facebook and Instagram are one pixel — and the TikTok pixel. These are for our advertising: they tell those platforms that somebody who saw an ad reached the site.
- Tawk.to, the chat window, which recognises you if you come back to a conversation.
Say no and none of them are loaded. Not loaded quietly in the background, not loaded and then told to be quiet — the script is never fetched, so there is nothing to set a cookie.
Three things we do not do
We do not measure anything inside the test. No analytics, no pixels, no chat window while you are sitting a paper or reading your result. Somebody in the middle of a timed exam is not something to be counted, and a chat bubble over your answer sheet is not something we are willing to risk.
We never put a password or verification link into our measurement. Those links carry a one-time code. It is stripped out before anything is sent to Google, so it stays in your browser.
We do not sell anything to anybody, and we do not buy a consent platform. The banner you see is ours, in this repository. A consent tool would itself be a third-party script loading before you had agreed to anything, which is the opposite of the point.
Payment pages are not ours
When you pay, you type your card, bKash or Nagad details on a page belonging to our payment partner, not to us. Which partner depends on where you are:
- in Bangladesh, EPS, which carries bKash, Nagad, Rocket and Bangladeshi cards;
- anywhere else, Polar, which is the seller of record for international purchases and handles the card and any local sales tax.
Those pages set cookies of their own, under their own policies, and they need them to take a payment safely. We never see your card number or your PIN. See our Privacy Policy for what we keep about a payment, which is the receipt and nothing more.
Changing your mind
Cookie settings, at the bottom of any page. It asks again, and your new answer replaces the old one.
Withdrawing is as easy as agreeing, deliberately — that is what the law requires and it is also the only honest way to ask. One thing to know: a script already running in the page you are looking at cannot be un-run, so the page reloads to clear it out.
You can also do it from your browser. Blocking or clearing cookies for this site removes everything above, including the four the site needs — which means you will be signed out and asked about cookies again. The site still works; it just forgets you.
Where this is written down
We ask for consent where it is legally required — the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland — because the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR require a choice before anything non-essential is placed, and the UK requires the same under PECR. If we cannot tell where a request came from, we treat it as somewhere that requires asking, because the wrong guess in the other direction cannot be taken back.
If this page changes
The date at the top changes with it. Anything that would widen what is collected is asked about again rather than quietly added to the list above.
